Walt and Forum During the editing of the article on the Toby bolt install we had several discussions with the writer about the procedure and what might be considered excessive steps to do this job. The article does indicate that it may be easier in some cases to use the instructions that come with the Toby tabs. It was decided to give the reader as much info as possible and let the reader delete steps he/she did not feel he/she needed to take. We took the position of providing more info instead of not enough. The article was also presented to Toby, who gave his blessings on the writeup. You will even notice that the author gives his email address so if you have any problems, questions, or concerns you can contact him directly. We strive to get information from the most experienced and respected sources available in the DeLorean community. Even with that kind of input, differences of opinion are bound to arise on how to use the information provided. If anyone has a comment or concern, they can contact us at gullwingmagazine(@)juno.com and we will do everything we can to help out.
