I had the exact same problem when I first got my FiberFab.  It turned out to be a bad ground.  I’m not much of a fix it myself guy so I took the car to Gene’s Foreign Car Service on West Chester Pike in Broomall.  They fixed it and they will do inspections.  If you decide to take it there, ask for Harold and tell him “Frank” with the red MG rep…[Read more]

Check the grounds. Always first step in a non metal car.

You’re in Malvern. Carlisle is 1-1/2 hours away. There is a small army of kit car owners here more than willing to assist. The hotel parking lot sometimes resemble a race car paddock. Remember to attend in the future.

Good luck with inspection.

How do the splines look in those, Bill?

Ok, I stopped on my way home from work and, surprisingly, he had brought them in. Hopefully my photos will make it.

All right! Four fronts and one rear(pulled at random). He has no use for these and basically wants the room they take up. He will pretty much accept the first offer he gets.

Vicenc,

I am sorry you and your lovely wife will not be there – will miss you both.

Hope to see you at Va Beach in October?

I’m really sorry I will miss y’all this year.  Have fun and enjoy the show!

Ex post facto of getting Toller’s gauge installed I found a place in Fort Lauderdale that will repair the old VDO speedos like the one I have (see pics above).  It’s not cheap but it’s something to consider.  Here’s their website if you’re interested:

I hope to roll up on Thursday late afternoon after work if I can get Friday off. Most likely will not make the Caddy shack but if anyone else is running late I can meet for dinner.

Otherwise it will be after work on Friday.

I am planning/hoping to roll in Thursday evening. I have to tow Bridget this time b/c I’m picking up the Spyder’s engine from Carey Hines, so there will be some rigamarole involved in getting set up and on the road after work.

1 week to go. Who else is heading up Thursday?

Yes, 14″x4-1/2″.

Oh, and the wires on my car are 14″. Look great.

The key metric to watch out for is the inch increase in track width, imho.

One of my customers saw my car today for the first time and informed me he has a set of knock off wire wheels from his daughters 1966 MGB. All he has is the wheels. No attaching parts. He says he’ll bring them in for me to photograph. If anyone has interest, stay tuned for photos. He sounds as if he’ll accept any reasonable offer.

Thanks guys!  This really helps.

Generator is rebuildable; usually just needs brushes. But to do it I think you have to take it out anyway and that’s most of the work.

Advantages of the generator: There is a reason you don’t see generators on new cars, man. Alternators give a better charge at lower rpm, tend to run longer, and they’re lighter (though I don’t know what the VW a…[Read more]

Mine also arrived yesterday. Really looking forward to this mini vacation.
