Mike and Group, To add to what Mike said. I talked to Jamstrait several
months ago and they admitted the LED's were not made for our type of lenses.
Also, the Hyper were about $40.00 ea retail. The intrest at that time was to
reduce current. I also came up through cross reference in the Sylvania/Osram
catalog some other bulbs that were about 1/2 the current but almost the same
brightness.

<< If you buy from Jamstrait, purchase their Hyperbright Led's.
 Not the superbrights. John tested the Superbrights and they were not
 that bright. My company had tested the Hyperbrights and the
 Superbrights. The Hyperbrights will work but it depends on the type
 of lens on your taillight housings.
 
 Remember that these led bulbs are meant to be used with see through
 lenses.

Paul,

When I went through my big project that included new rotors I had the same
problem. It turned out the wheel bearing was bad and was holding the rotor
tight.. Since I was replacing the rotor anyway I used a really big hammer
and it broke free.

If your rotor is still good, I would use a block of wood to protect the
rotor. Otherwise, just give it a big whack on the backside and watch your
feet, I'm still limping ;), the rotor will come right off.

Subject: Re: looking for custom  seat covers and floor mats

Where do you live? I would look at any place that does automotive
upholstery. There is a place by me (NY, Long Island) that actually
surprised me when I walked into it a few years ago. While looking
through some of their samples I came across a "DMC" reproduction
floor mat that they make. I asked the guy about it and he said that
he was familiar with the car and made quite a few mats for people
over the years. The DMC letters are embossed into the carpet not
printed on like the original. Where am I going with this? You'll be
surprised what you will find at a good local upholstery
shop...especially ones that do interior restorations. Give them
something to work with as a template and you can have them make it
in any color you like. That same shop I went into was willing to
recover the binnacle.I have to locate that place again and take my
cracked binnacle there.

If you are looking to just replace worn out seats or carpets so that
they are close to original (same color and all) then give Rob Grady
a call, he has new leather seat covers made (in black and grey) that
will wow you when you see them installed...they look bettr then the
original. Only task is that you need to remove the old leather
covering and install the new ones in the same fashion (using hog
nose rings).

Subject: Turn signal side lights (thought #2)

I told you it had been a long day...

Don't ask me where my brain was. Of course you could use another bulb
as a relay (open one up and what do you find? A coil that looks like a
big light filament. Coincidence?). Guess I'm still in awe of all the
relays behind my seat. Have never seen so many gathered in one place.
Did JZD leave enough to share with all the other car companies? Just
what my fine new ride needs -- more relays. Notice however that's it's
still flashing on/off opposite the front unit (didn't suffer a total
brain meltdown).

Actually I probably still had my rear light mod on my mind. Can't use
another bulb as the relay there because the whole board shares one
ground, and I need positions 2 & 4 to be on/on. I could take the easy
route out and replace the single filament sockets with dual filament
(run jumper wires from position 3) if anyone knows where to buy
surface mount
units.

You'll recognize me at Pigeon Forge -- I'll be the dented DeLorean
with no headliners and a rear end lit up like a Christmas tree. Are we
living the dream yet?

There are always plently of local shops in any area that will do
this for you. You can also do an internet search and find any
number of shops. Even Ebay has companys that sell them for
car XYZ but when you open the add it's generic and custom
work.

Someone most anyone could do though is go into the Pep Boys
chain. At least the one's here in Los Angeles. In between all the
cheaper off the shelf unit are a couple of books where you can
select not only custom units make to specific cars but ones
made to order to your spec's.

Subject: Fanzilla

Fanzilla was the best $220 (or so) I have ever spent. I don't know what else
to say without it sounding like an advertisement.
I did the "tests" it says to do in the manual, and everything checked out
the
way it should. I then threw in Fanzilla, and all of my problems went away.
That simple. I drove around, and put 60-70 miles on the DMC. During those
miles, the temp gauge never went above the hash between the 100 and 220
degree hashes. It was amazing.

Thanks to all the people helping me with my coolant problems and those who
suggested Fanzilla. I especially thank Bob Zilla for the amazing product. I
am very happy with it!

Subject: LED Bulbs

Most of the unit's ARE lacking. In most cases the $10-$20+ LED
bulbs are to say the word DIM! Typically dimmer then standard
bulbs. There are some BRIGHT, however, they do run in the
range of $50 a piece. A bit rich for my blood but you can see
things WAY down the street. I forget the company but they were
local to Los Angeles. I'll try and find it again if anyone is
interested.

Can someone take a couple of birdseye (straight down) photos
of the photo and back of the tail-light circuit boards with some
rulers on side and bottom for scale is ultra high rez (larger the
better)?

I would like to print them out actual size on the large format color
printer for something I'm working on.

If I could pick up some used boards for a song that would be
even better but I doubt I'll find any that inexpensive.

Thanks in advance.

But I'm glad SOMEONE saw that this subject
came up at least 3 or 4 times before...

Walt came up with this too a while back.
The fun thing is that even WITHOUT the grounding
this will work just fine. It's a bit hard  and not appropriate
to explain it here, but if anyone is interested I can explain
off line in a private email...
It has to do with the difference in wattage and a lot of
bulbs being connected parralel to each other.

I am now gradually becoming more frustrated as time

I am trying to replace my front brake discs.

The manual says remove the caliper out of the way,
undo the hub nut, remove the D washer and then remove
the disc and hub......

Oh no the disc will only move about 5mm them wont
budge, should there be something else removed or just
a take to it with a rather large hammer!!

Gentlemen, Gentlemen:
I want to nip this one in the bud before we get  50 stories from every Tom,
Dick, and Harry about how either John or Darryl did them wrong. John and
Darryl are both excellent vendors and a joy to work with.
I'm sure that they've both upset a customer or two throughout their
business dealings in the
Delorean community, but that is merely a caveat of the business world.
Overall I think we can all agree that these are two valued vendors.
So please, let's refrain from clogging up the list with negative posts on
these two wonderful men and save all of our derogatory comments for that
demon at D1: Ed Bernstien.

Subject: Charlotte NC DMC spotted- Are you on this list?

While driving home from work yesterday (about 6pm) I noticed another
Delorean in my neighborhood- the Steel Creek Area of Charlotte, NC.

I also noticed another Delorean at the Park Road Shopping Center here in
Charlotte, NC at lunch time.  Two in a day, when I have not seen any
other Deloreans for months.

Unfortunately I was not in my 83 Delorean at the time, and with the D's
going in the other Direction I did not have a chance to stop to exchange
our information.  By chance are the other D owners on this list?

This brings up a good question too.  Is there any public government web
site that a person could access to pull up all the Registered Deloreans
in a State?  I would think only the Police could do something like this.

Thanks-

Hmm: checked out website of manufacturer of LED bulb replacements and
they touted being brighter. Probably should pick one up & try it
before I start hacking up my wiring harness (gave up trying to find
card edges & connectors suitable size to plug mod in).

Suddenly taillight modification is less at forefront of consciousness:
accidentally knocked spark plug wire off two days ago, ended up
driving  a strapping PRV-5 (not exceptionally far, but far enough to
say "is that a miss? Naw, couldn't be. Or maybe it is? Can't tell,
let's listen a little longer...") Car has persistent stumble ever
since (not as bad as a miss, but it wasn't there before). Only
stumbles at idle -- am hoping a long trip this weekend will burn out.

Hello,
I recently bought a burned Delorean.  unfortunately the majority of
the car is totalled, but the entire front area is still in great
condition.  It was an early 81 with the gas flap hood.  Part of that
hood received some minor damage due to fire, but is definately
fixable.  The pasenger front panel also received some light fire
damage.  These are the only two items that received damage in the
front.  The car only had 14K on it when it was set on fire (yes...SET
ON FIRE).  I have uploaded many pictures of it to the vault.  click
on the link below and then go to the BURNED DELOREAN folder.

http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/lst

If you need any parts, please let me know.  I'll see if I have it.
BTW: the car was an automatic and the transmission is still there.  I
haven't looked at it at all, but the majority of the fire damage
occured on the top of the car, fortunately the frame didn't receive
much damage (except on the sides of the engine).  So, im hoping the
tranny is still good.

Take care,
Erik

If you buy from Jamstrait, purchase their Hyperbright Led's.
Not the superbrights. John tested the Superbrights and they were not
that bright. My company had tested the Hyperbrights and the
Superbrights. The Hyperbrights will work but it depends on the type
of lens on your taillight housings.

Remember that these led bulbs are meant to be used with see through
lenses.

Anyone who has some money to burn try www.ledtronics.com or
http://www.netdisty.net/ds/AUT1157/
They're Led bayonets would seem to work better in a reflective
housing because of the led's mounted on the side of their bayonets.
For a total of 24 led's.
Ledtronics is in Torrance, CA.

I'll take some comparison pics of the Hyperbrights, Superbrights and
Incandescent bulbs in a DeLorean Taillight Housing and I'll post them
sometime next week.
I'll see if I can get a hold of a lightmeter as well.

Subject: Re: TO ARMOUR ALL OR NOT?

If you attended the Memphis show you might want to try the free
sample of 3M Refresh that was passed out.  It has a U.V. inhibitor
and seems to do what it says...non greasy, non glare, doesnt attract
dust.  I've been using it and it seems to work good.  Plus, the first
bottle was free :~}

Ron

P.S. I do not work for 3M.

Subject: Re: Ignition resistor relay

Group, I have explained several times about the relay below the ignition
resistor  in the engine compartment. It's up against the fire wall under and
off to the left of the resistor. I have modified the wiring diagram so you
can enlarge it and put it in you shop manual or paper work on the car. (You
will need to landscape when printing.) I also wrote an operation of how it
works. I'm not for sure when they added it or took it away, but I will leave
that to the people that know more about that than I do. You may also want to
add that to your list of relay replacement since it's on the outside.
I call it relay # 110 on the diagram since there was none on the original.
If your car has this relay socket mounted on the fire wall and wires running
to it and the relay is missing, plug one in and watch what happens to
starting the car. If it's never been replaced and you car is a little cranky
in starting, then change it or swap it out. If the contacts were bad or the
relay wasn't working, it will start better.
On the web site under Talk & View/reference. I also put a photo under the
diagram as to the location.

Subject: CUSTOM RIMS

Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of looking into custom rims for my Delorean. I
have asked around and have gotten conflicting info as to the exact
size that I need. I realize that it is tough to find rims to fit our
cars without any modification (Especially the rear), This is why I'm
going to spend the cash and get custom ones. I want to keep the same
tires I have on my car now which are the Yoko's (Which I love!!).
Before I order them I need the specs, here is what I know thusfar-

Front- 14 X 6" bolt pattern 4-100 offset 40mm
Rear- 15 X 8" bolt pattern 4-100 offset 20mm

Is this correct? What else should I look for or ask?
Thanks in advance for everyones help!

Subject: Scraped Bumper

I accidentally bumped a concrete retaining wall and scraped my rear bumper
a few weeks ago. It isn't deep, and only in the black rubber portion. Just
a few square inches right at the corner of the bumper.

What's the best way to clean this up? Sand it down with ever finer
sandpaper, then buff it? Or somthing else?

Thanks!
