Dave, I use Krylon simi flat and hold the spray pattern back further. That
will create the surface with a little texture.

<< Hi,
I am going to bring my louver into a body shop to have it painted
this
week. What type of paint should I have them paint it with? I have to
use 5
bottles of tire shine just to keep it black right now;) I have found
that
most bumper paints just begin to fade after a few seasons of use. Has
anyone
used a paint that really works great? At Memphis I saw a louver with a
lightly textured paint that really looked nice.
Thanks
Dave

Subject: Re: refabricate tosion bars
Andy and group. Last year when this came up I checked with the factory
that
made them for Grummond. There was one person there that remembered the
department that made them and he knew some of the people that actually
made
them. I put out the request that if I could get enough people to put down
a
deposit on the bars I would see about getting them made. I only got 4
takers.
I was thinking about having 50 made as one last attempt. Can't do it with
only 4 takers.
Vendors like myself don't mind investing in parts if the group or Delorean
owners will support the efforts. But to many times folks would rather find
it
local and pay the same price or higher or cheaper instead of the vendors
that
are trying to support the cars. If the group wants to open this back up I
would go at it again, but who wants to shell out $350.00 to hold, only if
and
when it happens.

P.S. I have already looked into replacement door openers.
<< I agree with Marc on all of this. Torsion bar failure is not a
widespread
problem and no one is going to worry about this kind of silly stuff (my
apologies to Paul) for decades, when it actually IS a problem. And as
far
as
non-owners that are all worked up over this parts availability stuff -
doesn't it show something when the actual owners are not concerned? i
think
it's kinda funny how the recent additions to the list seem to be rallying
everyone to make sure there are parts available for future owners - you
don't
need to worry about it! there will be parts! we really need to quit
crying
over quarter panel dies, torsion bars, etc.... cars are being parted out
all
the time and there's nothing to worry about.....................
just ask the list WHEN THE TIME COMES! that's what i have learned. no
part
is inaccessible. if you have the $$$, that is.

Subject: Re: Long Island, NY DMC Owners
Thats Pretty funny because Before I became a Delorean Owner here on
Long island I never saw any DeLoreans, but after I got mine they
seemed to pop up everywhere. I even saw one park in someones driveway
right next to a whte bricklin (about 5 min from my house at the time
in syosset). I also came upon 2 other cars right in my area but could
NEVER find the owners to talk to (just my luck). I even parked right
next to one at the library one time waiting for the owner to come
back, but after 2 hours I left. now I moved out to the hamptons and
since I have seen 2 DeLoreans That I know live around here, but my
luck every time I see the cars, There either parked for hours or just
leaving. the piont of my story Is I too would like to get to know
some other DeLorean Owners Here on LI, but have not been able to
strike up not one conversation with a current DMC owner in the 3
years I have owned my car.

List,
I was visiting the Lamington Farm estate last year with my old 1981
DMC.
I was given a nice tour of the grounds and the house. When I was there
John
DeLoreans dogs, Alfredo & Lucy were abandoned there. Where they still
there?
In addition, the grounds manager let me go thru some of the DeLorean
memorabilia & tax records that were left there in the basement of the
house.
Did you have an opportunity to see them?
Best Wishes,
Michael Pack

I have some too, though not as big a selection. I'll have to dig them out
and see if they're totally different, or just a smaller assortment of what
you have. I'm guessing mine are an earlier, simpler versiion.

Subject: Torsion bar removal and fitting
OK so heres a question
If I need to remove a torsion bar from a car what is the easiest way to do
so i.e. relieve the tension.
And then what is the process to refit i.e. how much turning does the bar
need once in place.
The more detail the better
Cheers
Paul

Subject: annoying misfire
Hi all,
I am still having an annoying misfire, I am pretty sure it down to an
injector that is passed it's sell by date, as it is not spraying very
nicely.
To my knowledge the spray pattern on a mechanical injection system is
more crucial than on an EFI system because the valves are not always
open at the point of injection.
I am fairly sure the misfire is fuel related for the following
reasons:
1) My timing light suggests that all plugs are sparking
2) All plugs are less then 8 months old.
3) 2 of the injectors are new, 4 are 2nd user but appeared to be
clean and ok when 1st installed approx. 10 months ago, and the engine
has run fine until recently.
4) All of my HT leads are new as well as the cap and rotor arm.
Anyway my question is really why are the injectors getting blocked?,
have I just been unlucky?
I have a new fuel pump, clean tank, and a filter on the fuel pickup
and had the main fuel filter change about 10 months ago.
Any ideas?
James RG
