What have you done to your DeLorean today?

... I pulled out the sway-bar (really surprised at how much the front suspension moves without the sway-bar in place!) .....

Sounds like your reference is to the lack of fore-aft rigidity in the front suspension when the sway bar is out of the picture. And it's normal for a suspension like this one. Unlike in many setups the sway bar performs two functions in a D. The anti-roll function is the less important of those two functions with the primary one being that of a radius arm to the lower link. The upper control arm does the other half of that longitudinal location work.

This is one of the reasons that the condition of a D's crumple tube or subframe is important as well as the recall kit and proper fastening and locknuts/washers on the sway bar bushing mounts to the crumple tube.

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.

I was surprised that side of the FV was included in the kit in the first place. It does not look as straightforward to reproduce as the other lines.

OverlandMan's install looks great. I like the red as well. He's not going to be worrying about fire anymore.

I will update our site shortly and include HD pictures of our line kits and all of the available colors. The kit does include all 13 lines.

- Installed DeloreanNW fans in the cowling (after cleaning the cowling)
- Removed the radiator
- Inspected the condenser (looks surprisingly good - but some corrosion on the connections)
- Removed the Y-pipe and coolant return lines
- PB Blasted the water pump bolts

Installed stainless braided clutch bleeder line.

Uninstalled it an hour later!

Any chance it leaked at the connection to the slave?

UPDATE: No worries - I see the other thread where you've got the clutch bleed/response problem.

Leaked here-ish...

Weird, you're not the first person I've heard of having problems with this. None of the other local guys here seem to though, myself included. Seems like it should be a foolproof part, but hey.

As for myself, I took 2100 out for a drive yesterday. First time in a couple weeks actually, as we were busy with family/holiday stuff. But the weather here has been unstoppably awesome - how could I resist??

Today I finally installed a third brake light. I've been procrastinating this easy job for far too long.
I believe it from a corvette originally. I bought it a while back from I think another member here.

The power wire comes from the right brake light, with a 5 amp fuse in the line, up the rear quarter panel, and behind the plastic vent thing, then out and through the louvre into the light.
The ground wire is grounded on a bolt at the bottom back end of the quarter panel.
I put quick disconnects on the wires close to the light, but behind the plastic vent thing above the rear window. It is a very clean installation.

I'm about to install that very part! Should I worry?? I purchased it from England Delorean Eurotec....
