What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Bought/installed a new battery.
Removed the passenger door upper panel to test a replacement mirror I got a while back (the one on it dow does not move, the new one works in all directions)
Sat in line for 45+ minutes to get it emissions tested, then another 1+ hour at the DMV to get it titled and registered.

I drained the coolant which looked very good (after searching everywhere for my 8mm square drive socket) with no buildup or crud in the pipes. PB Blasted the bolts on the Y-pipe in the VOD (not expecting a problem but taking every precaution). I pulled out the sway-bar (really surprised at how much the front suspension moves without the sway-bar in place!) and pulled out the fans/cowling. I stopped right before pulling out the radiator.

Changed one mirror to one of Tom's extended convex mirrors and got the window back on it's track Both on drivers side, applied plasters to back of hand! Can anyone remember where the layout for the mirror wiring is please as mine all seem to work back to front! (from the back of the switch) thanks

Thank You.

After spending almost the entire solid year working on my Custom Centre Console, yesterday I disassembled down to the valley and did the following:

• Tightened up my silicone coolant hoses (have been bedding in for a year now)
• Installed new silicone vacuum hoses
• Installed new stainless braided FV fuel lines

Installed new stainless braided FV fuel lines

Which vendor's line did you install?

SpecialT - the only source I knew of for these two particular lines when I bought them ages back.

It was later that I read a post somewhere that DMCMW have them - always frustrating to always hear via word of mouth what they sell, since they have no website or catalogue showing all the stuff they sell above and beyond the DMC website, I should have checked.

Quality seems good though.

I had no idea DMCMW sold them. DPI has one (at least part of a kit) although I never could find a picture on their website. I stumbled upon a picture last night on OverlandMan's blog. http://dmctx.blogspot.com/2013/12/fu...se-2-cont.html It looks like DPI uses a regular hose and clamps to deal with the return side of the FV. How does John's look? Do you have a picture to show how it installed? I am curious how the return side connects.

It is frustrating that there are possibly good parts to consider and the information isn't available or hard to find. I guess this is a good problem to have. It's nice to have so many vendors improving parts these days.

We run a small section of aeroquip line between the valve and compression fitting on the return line. Basically the only way to do it.
