Only one of my cars had the gooey black sealant; I always figured a PO did that but perhaps not. I used either acetone or ...   05-09-2016 06:19 pm

Is this the 1/4" steel cover plate that bolts to each side of there transmission tunnel? If so, it has always been my understanding that ...   04-27-2016 05:04 pm

After looking at my own lock clip I see it is not as I remembered - it is an odd duck. If all else fails, ...   04-17-2016 06:27 pm

Frank, I'm thinking it would be called the "lock cylinder retaining clip." My first thought was Delta but a quick look did not show it in ...   04-16-2016 08:57 pm

Try Beck-Arnley part number 071-1481. It's a rebuild kit for the JH that also cross references with the Triumph TR7. And since it's a TR7 ...   04-01-2016 02:50 pm

That would be great. I'd rather deal with the transmission sooner than later if there is a good source for parts. Feel free to pm ...   04-01-2016 01:39 am

I noticed in your previous post that the trans shop got parts from the local BMW dealer. I'm assuming this is a 5 speed - ...   04-01-2016 01:16 am

Hi Bruce, Great news on the progress. Kudos to you for getting to know these cars. With four, it is likely you will have at least ...   03-27-2016 09:10 pm

Hi Bruce, Don't be too hard on yourself; there are a lot of little quirks on this car that need to be learned as you go ...   03-26-2016 08:12 pm

Thank you -and good to know. I have no reason to replace or change anything regarding wiring, especially as it is not my strong suit. ...   03-18-2016 04:07 pm

Thanks for the help. After reading that the brown wires are hot, and that it goes back to the battery, I remembered that the wire ...   03-18-2016 01:07 am

I'm cleaning up the wiring harness in the engine bay on 18341 and have a question about the three wires going to the alternator - ...   03-15-2016 11:26 pm

Check out this pdf I found sometime back regarding American/Lucas fuses. It has Tim Engel's name on it - I don't know for certain that ...   03-06-2016 06:49 pm

Hi Matthew, You might check out these links below. I thought about doing it at one time but ended up buying a rebuilt with exchange. The ...   03-05-2016 10:32 pm

Congratulations on the progress; it sounds like you're in the home stretch. If you don't like the stock mirrors, there'e always bullet-style mirrors. Certainly it's ...   02-28-2016 05:13 pm

Hi, I don't think I know enough to help diagnose the problem with the carb backfire or stalling, but the pics provided I believe are ...   02-22-2016 10:38 pm

I just wanted to add that I've had great luck sourcing NOS brake shoes (Lockheed style) from the UK through ebay. Even with shipping, I ...   02-02-2016 08:24 pm

Martl; Thanks for sharing the pics of your efforts. It is quite an impressive body of work. Clinton ...   01-21-2016 07:51 pm

Just my humble opinion? ...   01-16-2016 06:32 pm

I was waiting to see if anyone was going to answer your query; I imagine there is a dearth of information regarding JH air conditioning. ...   01-01-2016 08:30 pm

Short motor sounds like short block, or just the bottom end of the engine: block, crank, pistons, rods, pan, etc. No head or anything above ...   01-01-2016 03:25 pm

I just wanted say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and to express a big thank you to all who have contributed to the forum ...   12-26-2015 02:32 am

The clip will flex and bend some. As I recall (it's been a while) it was just a matter a little force to slide it ...   12-11-2015 09:42 pm

I'm assuming that you are trying to slide the clip into the groove. It doesn't necessarily go back on the same way it came off. ...   12-11-2015 03:29 pm

I'd just like to second Joachim's comment about the throttle axel play. It's one thing to do it yourself as there's certainly nothing wrong with ...   12-09-2015 04:44 pm

Hi Stuart, I went with Super Pro bushings after riding in a car with the hard urethane (Prothane?) bushings - just my opinion but the urethane ...   11-26-2015 06:37 pm

Is yours an early or later model? Have you measured them? I just measured various distances on both my 18059 and 19451. I got the ...   11-22-2015 02:53 am

HI David, I have some pics of my Lockheed brakes as well as a pic of the exploded view from the workshop manual. However, I can't ...   11-20-2015 05:39 pm

Hi Frank, I believe these are the mirrors still being made in the UK. Do a search on ebay for "tex mirrors" and see what comes ...   11-16-2015 01:21 am

Hi Stuart, I have a passenger side in black in good condition (no wear through) that I'd be willing to part with. I also have one ...   09-17-2015 05:32 pm

I'd second Brett on the "e caviat emptor." No need to rehash old stuff but just go in with your eyes wide open. ...   09-16-2015 01:02 am

Glad to see this thread resurrected as it brings up a question I have. Since this Getrag was an option on certain BMW 2002s, does this ...   09-07-2015 06:20 pm

Hi Frank, Great to hear it's coming together. And I'd like to second Joachim's point about the importance of the lower bushing on the steering column. ...   06-21-2015 07:21 pm

I have a feeling my dash is going to eventually look an awful lot like yours. Nice job! ...   06-09-2015 11:55 pm

The dash looks great - especially with the chrome trim rings. Is that the elm or the walnut? ...   06-09-2015 09:04 pm

Hi Frank, I have changed the steering shaft on mine so I hope I can offer some help; I don't know if this is the ...   06-06-2015 05:55 am
