HI, I don't know if anyone is interested, but I created a group for
the 1/18th scale Delorean model.  nothing major, just a place for
people to discuss the customization of their models, outside of the
DML.  The group name to lookup is customedeloreanmodels.

Over the last few months I have been a member of this list, I keep seeing
reference to checking "all" the grounds.  Great idea; however, are these
identified (hopefully with photos) in a central location?  That would
helpful to me since if I tried to extract it from the manuals and/or trace
cables I would likely miss something.

I would be happy to create a document with photos if someone can point me to
"all" the grounds.  (Of course with my travels it could take a while to do.)

In addition to this, does anyone put any type of protective coating on the
grounds after they have been cleaned?

True, from what I have heard the torsion bars are designed to only
twist one way and are therefore specific to each side of the car.
But are the torsion bars straight? the only reason I ask is because
if they are you could then possibly install a LH torsion bar
backwards into the RH door.
You would have to change the brackets but at least then, as far as
the torsion bar it concerened, it is still working in the right
direction.

Could this be done as a last resort?

Nah, no-one offer this, but when I sat up the poll, I thought of it
to be a cool idea. At least its bound to be better than the crappy
buzzer ;) Enough interest may trigger a development of such a unit
and being offered for sale. I'd be interested in it! :)

The other post regarding an already available system is interesting.
Maybe some of you who live in the states can find this as a used part
on the Caddys and Datsuns and whatever cars that featured this. Hope
its compatible with the DeLorean...

So tell me, can such a device simply be a plug and play module (like
those old computer cartridges?)

Subject: RE: Re: Torsion Bars

On the Subject of torsion bars, Earlier this week I had a long conversation
with a recently retired Lotus employee who was deeply involved with the
DeLorean project. His name is Brian R....
He spent many months travelling between Belfast / Lotus factory / Germany,
where the early door design was done.
He tells me that the first design was for a door using the torsion bar
only...which indeed worked well in practice.......until some people worried
about what would happen if the torsion bar suddenly broke.
 People could loose a hand/or foot if the door suddenly came crashing down!
This is when they came up with the idea of the torsion bar and a gas strut
sharing the load.
 It looks as if some of the fears were well founded!

. Especially when adjusting the bars they can move
around and touch the hinge. This is how one broke on me. Fortunatly
the door was closed at the time and it was a right side bar. Never go
near the torsion bar with anything metallic except at the end to
adjust it.

Take a look at http://www.pjgrady.com/stainlessmain.asp
they have a kit that can be in stalled onto the spine to

I have no experience with this product, but since it's

Subject: parking brake dragging too much?

I installed a rear brake caliper only on one side so far and noticed that
the emergency brakes are dragging just a bit.  Is this a bad thing?  I
haven't put the regular brake pads on yet.  This condition exists while the
emergency brake cable is disconnected.  Is there some sort of adjustment
that I haven't noticed to loosen the emergency brake pads so that they don't
touch the rotor?  Or is it okay for them to lightly drag on the rotor?  This
is a new rotor, and I don't want to overheat it.

While working on this, I noticed that the hinge pins/bolts that hold the
emergency brake to the caliper had galled a bit when I removed them.  So I
replaced them with ones from a junker.  I was really surprised to see what
was previously done to the junker.  Someone had removed a hinge pin and
didn't put it back together properly so that the hinge on one side was just
flopping around.  From the uneven wear on that pad and the excessive wear to
all the pads in general, it looks like someone used the hell out of them.
My only guess is that the previous owner must have been into stunt driving
by locking up only the rear brakes to spin out.  Strange.  Maybe that
explains why the car was wreaked.

Subject: Re: heli-coils in rear hub carrier

Today I just noticed that one of the bolts that hold the caliper to the rear
hub carrier had the threads damaged.  Since there are two identical ones, I
couldn't tell at first which heli-coil was responsible.  So I ended up using
a tap to chase the threads on both heli-coils.  Barely any metal was
removed.  It is quite a job getting a tap in there.  After reading about how
Toby says that cut threads are not as strong as rolled threads, I figure
that a heli-coil must be even worse.  In light of this, I didn't re-thread
the damaged bolt.  I got another one from a junker.

I'm not asking a question with this post, really.  I'm just saying that
chasing the thread on a hub carrier heli-coil was needed and has been done.
Does anyone think this is a bad thing to do?

Subject: Torsion Bars

Well, the group is finally hitting on what _I_ do for a living, so I thought
I'd contribute.  Copyrights, by definition, do not cover "useful articles",
only artful expressions.  The only protection anyone could have obtained for
the torsion bars (they are useful articles) would be a patent, which has
since expired.  No permission is necessary to recreate them.  If they were
patented, however, then the patent on file with the PTO teaches the
invention.  I haven't looked to see if it's there.  If I get a moment, I
will.  If anyone is thinking or recreating them in some other way, that
other way may be covered by a different patent, presumably belonging to
someone else, so some care should be used with creativity...

Subject: Re: Torsion Bars reversed?

Walt had pointed out that it may be possible to create a custom
forward hinge for the driver's side door that would have a splined
bore in it rather than the hex bore.  The forward end of each torsion
bar is a hex shape, and the aft end is splined.  As Walt hinted, it
may be possible to reverse the bars if the hinge was changed, and also
the retention bracket in the back was changed to have a hex bore. 
This would definitely represent a worst-case scenario, because two new
machined parts with broached bores (splined and hex) would be
relatively spendy.

Subject: Re: Torsion Bars

Sean - What you are describing is classic crack propagation due to
fatigue.  That's what my broken trailing arm bolt looked like.  A
crack starts in an imperfection of some sort (corrosion pit, scratch,
manufacturing surface defect, etc.) and grows slowly through the
thickness of the part every time it is stressed.  At some point, the
cross-sectional area becomes too small to handle the stresses, and the
crack shifts into fast crack growth, until you reach a kind of
"critical mass" , and then the part fails due to ductile rupture. 
With a scanning electron microscope, you can actually count the
striations, and estimate how many stress cycles the part went through
for each of the crack growth phases.  Isn't the mechanics of materials
a fascinating subject?

Reading up, the patent on the torsion bar and on the door designs are
(respectively):

Patent #4,092,180 (Manufacture of Torsion Bars) [1978/05/30]
Patent #4,378,658 (Mounting for a vehicle door) [1983/04/05]

Cheers.

Hello there list,
I know this seems really in advance, but I am a 16 year old enthusiast(been

Cincinnati Delorean owners are planning to do the parade again this year, and
if they would mind having someone(me) ride with them?  I'm asking this now so
that owners can plan ahead.  I can't think of a more fun thing to do on St.
Pats day, and I hope to own a DeLorean of my own someday.  Feel free to

Subject: Re: heli-coils in rear hub carrier

Walt - Original threads on bolts MUST be rolled, or the durability is
dramatically reduced.  But, on internal threads such as what you have
on the hub carrier, the threads can only be cut.  If the hub carriers
are made from aluminum, it is a good thing to have heli-coil inserts
to protect the threads from galling during bolt installation.  If you
run a tap through the inserts to clean up the threads, and very little
material is removed, you're probably just fine.  In terms of using a
die to clean threads on bolts, if a replacement bolt can be found
easily, that's the best approach.  If the bolt is hard to come by,
cleaning up the threads is okay (to a degree) if the bolt is not
loaded cyclically, and is loaded mostly in shear, which is the case
with these particular application.

Toby,

   I believe that the forward end of the drivers side torsion bar is hex and
the forward side of the passenger door is squared, so you don't confuse them.
 If I'm wrong please let me know.

Turning the bar around would also make it somewhat difficult to
adjust, since the allen-head end will now be somewhere just inside of
the windshield.

I've heard of welding broken bars back together (Don Steger), and
reproduction of this part kind of falls into the same paradigm as the
left front fenders. There are more parts-cars every day, and this is
NOT a particularly high failure rate part. No one will invest in 
reproducing them until there is enough pent-up-demand AND lack of
used parts to sell a large enough quantity at the initial production
run to recover the investment. At least no one with any business
sense, and this includes most of the current major vendors.
