Subject: TOBY-TAB Technical Info
Hello List -
As you may know, the new TOBY-TAB's are now available for purchase at
www.DeLorean-Parts.com . I wanted to let everybody know that each
shipment will contain a brief (?) technical piece on the TOBY-TAB as
compared to the stock OEM bolt, as well as some installation
instructions and hints. The information also contains a chart of
actual tensile test results for the comparison. The chart shows the
total load achieved by each bolt, and the total stretch or elongation
that occurred during the test. An explanation of how to read the
chart is part of the technical write-up. This information will also
be made available as a link on the website. As of this afternoon,
the orders were being received at a brisk pace. Current stock is
limited to 100 sets of bolts, nuts, and washers (one set per car).
Orders will be served on a first come - first served basis. Again, I
thank you for your patience during the long process of manufacturing
and processing these excellent pieces of hardware.

Kevin,
When I installed my DIN radio, I drilled two holes on either side of the
OEM
bracket (for a total of 4 holes). These holes corresponded to mounting
points on the radio. There was exactly 1" gap on either side, so I made
spacers using sections of 1/4" galvanized water pipe. It worked great.
If
I were doing it again, I would do it the same way except I would have
bought
a new DIN bracket instead of convert my OEM. With the new radio being
held
in place using a total of 4 points, the strap on the rear isn't necessary.
It was used on the OEM radio because without it the radio would be held
only
by the front knobs.

Subject: Re: New Speaker Install...Save original car
On the topic of putting speakers in the rear panel & sound deadening
material, can anyone say what the four slots are for that are in the panel
directly under the rear window? This is the panel that the courtesy light
fits in. It looks like these slots are there just to conduct sound from
the
engine compartment or maybe to just make me ask questions.

Subject: leaky side mirror
In the process of going through my passenger door, I finally figured out
why
so much water gets inside my door and drips on my windshield when the door
is open. One of the extension/spacers at the top was too long preventing
the gasket from making a seal. Water would then find its way in through
the
mounting holes in the door skin. The spacer that was too long had been
previously shortened. I'm wondering if this is something that was done at
the factory or if a previous owner is responsible. I had to shorten it by
another 2mm to get a good seal.

Subject: Fuel Distrib.
WOW -
>From the number of personal emails I received - I guess I ruffled
some feathers unexpectedly. That was not my intention at all.
I do realized that some fuel distributors may work on the DeLorean.
My point should have simply been to say that they are not all
simply "bolt-on" replacements - be carefull if you are experimenting
with different options.
By the way, I should correct a "typing" error in my response to Dave
on the post. The wrong FD was a mistake I did not make, but almost
did.
Again, I appologize if I upset anyone without knowing.

Joe Murray worked at the DeLorean factory. I had the pleasure of meeting
him and his wife at euro fest 1997.
Joe painted the lettering on a couple of media cars so that the name would
stand out.
Joe, if you are watching, how about some tips and tricks on how you
painted
the lettering.

That reminds me of a Lotus I saw with large white lettering on the rear
bumper. It looked nice and made the car stand out.

Subject: Re: Idle Speed thermistor
Shain,
You may simply want to make sure the connector and contacts are not
corroded. I have found that corroded contacts, poor grounds, etc.
account for about 80-90% of my little problems.
You say it idles perfectly until it gets "really warmed"? The
thermistor should change states around 15C (about 69 degrees F) that
will happen fairly rapidly in the coolant system. It may not be your
problem.
You could simply check it with an OHM meter while cold and again
while warm. That should tell you, before you go buy a part you don't
need.
Good Luck.

1. WD-40 is an outstanding penetrating oil
2. Silicone grease migrates at the same rate as vaseline and is just as
destructive.
3. Armor All will not rot your tires even if used frequently.
