None in mine. But here’s my theory–which you can check by chasing some corporate records in PA: Like BCW, American Sunroof WAS the Fussenegger’s company & the factories were tied together.

Before you replace the alternator, check the grounds on it. With these cars–and with most old cars–electrical faults are almost always ground-related.
Here’s a junkyard alternator guide that helped me get a little smarter. Please excuse me if this kind of stuff is way beneath your knowledge level.edsnova2016-02-04 21:13:27

So, looking for more Elvis-TD info I come across this shot of JFK & Jackie on their honeymoon in Acapulco, Mexico, 1953.

Great picture. I had no idea The King ever appeared in a TD. Would love to know more about that.

This is probably the only place that ever existed where Elvis would get second place billing and be upstaged by a plaid tonneau. Thanks for being here, guys.

You did great. You could never build anything like I was suggesting for anything close to that.

If you got it as cheap as those initial bids looked, you did good. Worst case scenario: clean it up and sell it on.

Go up a bit for autoX. Like, 22 in front & 28 rear. Otherwise lower.After I bought new tires the knuckleheads at the tire shop pumped like 35 lbs in all 4 of em. Thought my teeth were gonna shake out on the ride home.

Tks Kent. I’ve never felt comfortable with VW’s window screen filtering system and because of that I probably only average about 400 miles on each oil change. I’ve been putting it off because I was hoping to install a 4-1 merged header, but recently discovered that my engine cover won’t allow it.

Steve, I used the 1-1/2″ latches. But the longer ones might work well also.

Putting the shift plate in rightside-up ++
The spring clip on that dang shift bushing…don’t even get me started. Season before last I did that job for the second time since I’ve had the car, since I had to shorten the shift rod for the Suby swap.It is said, by the Speedster Owners, that a couple winds of mechanic’s wire will do as well & is… -
edward ericson replied to the topic Moving the seat back in the forum My Project 9 years, 7 months ago
I was shocked the first time I slid behind the wheel of Bridget. It felt all wrong, the steering wheel was way, way too close to my chest. Nothing like the way I adjust every other car I’ve driven in ever.
Then I got used to it.Sometimes now, in the summer time, I slide behind the wheel of my pickup truck and that feels weird and wrong. -

I am adjusting my steering column length so my knuckles just clear the dash. also I will use the seat back adjuster from MGmagic. not to rub it in but I lost some weight and that made a lot of room, limit fast food to once a week lol

I made the remark about adding bracing to discourage you from removing any. I’m not sure there is room to add any and not run into fitment issues with the body panels. There is a thread here on secondary door latches that a lot of us have added to keep the doors in place.
