What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Nice job on that emblem!

Then how do you enjoy the other cars that show up?

I mean unattended with the doors open. I close the doors when I'm not in the area (and still will).

Hit 35,000 miles today. 5,000 miles in 9 months.Attachment 61152

Just add an additional wire from the black wire connection on the inertia switch straight to a grounding bolt (near the driver's feet I think it mentioned)?

Hi Jonathan, Sorry for delay, was out of town.

I did just that, I cut the ground leading in to the Inertia Switch and lengthened that wire to the hidden ground bolt w/ring terminal.
(I know this isn't a stock thing that can be reversed, but it improves the car's electrical system.)

From there a new wire was added w/ring terminal back to the 'empty' inertia switch terminal. My original switch was replaced with a correct one after failing with the PO, but the multi connector had melted and fell apart so it was easy to replace the "push-on" connector with individual new ones at this point.

I was surprised at the difference of the fuel pump (normal) sound or lack of it! My fuel tank is still empty, so that may change on how the pump actually sounds when filled up.

Refilled the coolant on my A/C, took it out to a car show at Vandenberg yesterday (wasn't in it, just needed to get the car out).

Made an adjustable steel bracket to mount a better quality power antenna. A period West German Weissmann unit from a BMW.

Finally replace that awful sounding antenna with this silent one.

Looks solid, Clint. Nice work, as usual.

Detail questions - does the Weissmann power antenna have a black mast or is it chrome? And where would one go to find one? eBay? Is there a model ID?

Does that mean I can have my antenna back? :)

For what it's worth - the Metra 44 PW22B is the EXACT same antenna that I originally bought from DMCH several years ago. Black Mast. Wiring is the same. Case is the same. The only difference is that it doesn't have a Delorean sticker on it. $49.99
