Subject: convert fluid cleanup
The good news is:
I found the leak in the top cylinder on the convertible K.
The bad news is:
I didn't find it soon enough.
I'm looking for suggestions how to soak up the transmission fluid that has
accumulated in the rear carpet, without removing the carpet.
?Soap & water and dry with a Shop Vac?
?Grind oil absorbent 'speedy-dri' into the carpet and hope it comes out
later?
I'm sure someone has had this problem before --
Bob

I plan on getting new Coker tires shortly for my "G".
I currently have wire wheels but would like to go back
to the original rims. My problem: The rims are very
badly rusted. Is it better to have them sand blasted
and re-painted or try to find new/newer rims to use?
If the later is the case, does anyone know where I
should get them from?
As always, I appreciate any comments or guidance
anyone can offer.
Thanks
Gary

Subject: Reproduction windshields
Greetings Group-
For those of you that responded in a positive manner- Thank you.
However due to at least one who emailed me and questioned my integrity,
intelligence and down hill from there- I really do not need that kind of
grief. I will not answer any more email about these windshields until I
physically get to see them and see the quality etc. only then will I
advise the club about them. I thought that this was good news-being that
these windshields are not being done at this time and the number of
inquiries we receive from people needing them. In the mean time pay lots
of $$$ for ones you can find. Apologies to all.

There are assholes in every group, Joe. Don't let a jerk or two spoil your
efforts for the rest of us.

Subject: Re: rims
I have never purchased Coker's of all the tales of woe that I've heard
from
those who have. I am certain that some of had a fine experience with them
but I have spoken with many who have not.
I have heard discussions of whitewalls turning brown, tires unable to
balance, poor tracking performance, unsatisfactory warranty service, out
of
round, shifted radial belts etc etc etc.
Of course you only hear from those who have complaints so I cannot say if
their problems are greater then others, but I have run Michelins for years
and every time I venture away from them I have been sorry(French and all I
know, but even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while) and I have
never heard a bad word about them.
Of course I realize that they probably do not build the wide whitewall or
narrow one in the size you may need so you may have no choice, but just do
your homework on return privileges if you do have a problem.
I might suggest that you look at Diamondback for your tires. I believe
their website is www.widewhitewalltires.com or some such. Do a google
search on Diamondback tires if this is not correct.
I am running them on my B. They have a completely different approach in
building their tire(they actually use a contemporary steel belted Dayton
Thorobred tire to which they vulcanize a whitewall) and doing their
whitewall(described on their website). Of course I must mention that the
first set that I acquired from them had a serious problem with the
whitewall
turning brown(which they claimed could not happen but did). They did
replace under warranty but I had to pay shipping and pay again for
mounting
and balancing(which really irritated me to no end) but am now happy for
now
with them. Yet to be seen how they pan out over the long run. Been on
car
about 2 years now. I do have a small problem that I will not go into
detail
here on.
A friend of mine in the business of restoring cars purchased 5 sets for
his
customers. He is quite knowledgeable and says that they are by far the
best
of bad lot when it comes to tires for old cars. I agree with him but
Michelins they ain't, but I feel far better then other options.
Again do your homework. This email is also in response to the query made
by
John Chesnutt on the listsrv.
Good luck
