  1. A sentence never spoken before; "Jeeves, to the used tire store, and make it fast".
  2. My son has used Tire rack several times, even had shipping to Anchorage, and has always been very happy with them. They have customer opinions, ratings, and comparisons on their website so you can see how other people judge the tires you are looking at.
  3. Try not to stretch the rubber as you go around the opening. I understand thats pretty obvious, but I get in a hurry doing stuff like that end up having to do it again. It seems to me that I glued the wide side and that it was mostly up against the inside corner of the door frame.
  4. Walmart has a 205/15 in the cheaper Douglas brand.
  5. I used to smoke sunglasses, but they are too hard to keep lit.
  6. What could it hurt? If it makes it look shinier, good. If you don't like the results, you can always take it back off with laquer thinner. I'll bet it looks good.
  7. That is absolutely beautiful!
  8. For some reason I can't seem to e-mail P15-D24, so I'll just post this here and hope it works. Made in USA by Echlin, stoplight switch number SL 134 is an exact replacement including bayonet terminals. $8 + tax.
  9. My P-15 was the same way. Without the gasket, the air cleaner was loose and rattled. The gasket I made from plain old paper gasket material thick enough to be used for water pumps and such. It raises the bottom flange on the cleaner base enough that the clamp will tighten on it . That rattle drove me nuts trying to find out what it was.
  10. Oh, I see, so it's a work of Art. well then, Art's been working too hard.
  11. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I guess I'm not very good at beholding.
  12. I think maybe OEM spare tire air.
  13. Coopers got class!
  14. 6 volt alternator charges at 7.4 volts. It works very well.
  15. He meant 1154?
  16. You may be able to get the codes by turning the key on and off twice and then on so the check engine light can give you codes.
  17. Sorry, Can't post them on this forum.
  18. I've had 60 years to think of names to call a voltage regulator. "Poor Darling" was never even considered!
  19. Hook up a code reader so you know what you're looking for. Gets you a clue at least.
  20. No problem registering them, just have to be 25 years or more old. November 6 and 7 there will be 20 of them in DC for a celebration of the Twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Eric, the owner of seven of them has also sold two of them to the National Spy Museum in DC. Its common for people to import them, figure out that they really don't want to put up with them and then dump them. You can get them in Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic and other ex-soviet union countries for next to nothing and then spend $700 to $1200 to ship it here. The white one here is going to DC for the celebration, two more, including a kombi, are sitting in front of the garage which holds four more.
  21. Thanks Frank, thats really neat.
  22. Well, thanks guys, its just the driveway to a friends house. He keeps seven little Trabis down there.
  23. It's from age and overloading. I use a roof rack and a small trailer and try to keep the weight down if I can.
  24. Reverse arch?
  25. Is "drop your clutch cover" a euphemism? It sounds a little kinky.
