Jeff (MAV) Sending another PM.Please reply,and help wrap this up. Thanks, Paul

I'll take Dennis in an '83 Oldsmobile over half the board in their best Subaru. :-p Somebody scare up EJ.....

hey D!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just friggin thinking about you,holy dukie!! Gonna make it,and get Comeback Member of the Year ???? Good to see you brother!

Good luck with it,Connie. If I get a chance I'll dig for the two loaded backing plates I have.Good cylinders and brakes,ready to bolt on for 2WD EA82's.You know the deal,they're in there,but not too far back.I just had my hands on them a week ago or so.

:banana: No,don't start it,there's hope first. 3M doublesided tape,like I mentioned or that blue gummy stuff,whatever you trust for adhesion.The tape I mention will not fail,it absolutely will not fall off inside.If anything it'll stick to the wall a little and leave a little glue residue.I've done commercial vinyl tile with this tape.(the clear tape,not the white foam core for carpet,that's not the one for this application)Thin rod that you can flex a little too.Good luck G! Or Rob's vacuum method too.Kind of snap the vac. hose off the hole to get it to lift itself "end out".

Electrical parts too.

3M makes a killer double sided tape too.Not the white foam core one but the clear one.That rules.Wrap that on a thin rod of metal.Chopstick sounds good,but the thought of more wood snapping might make you lean towards metal. Come on G-man.We want to hear to story,and hear it end happily. Rosie O' will work too.

Happy interior dryness! Canadians,hang in there,your day is coming.Could not make it today.I'll take the box to work with me and should be able to get it out tomorrow. MAV,I see you posting but haven't heard back.....if you need time,that's fine,just communicate.Thanks

Got mine too.Thanks again,Andrew! Connie -1 Paul -3 Andrew-3 CT tosses down the guantlet. Gloves off,come on you punks. Man,it would be cool if we got 25 without having to post at dealerships,etc. and getting the newbarus involved. After all,its a vintage show at heart.Never liked seeing new Saabs and Volvos there.

Perhaps you may consider contacting them first and see if that gasket was made within the last 10 years.They dryrot over time and you might find yourself installing another headache. Their Gen I part number is identical to the supplier we just used for NEW gaskets for our 70's Subarus. Amazingly,they still have at least one in stock.I started to go through the purchase process to see if they'd tell me "no longer in stock",etc. but they didn't,so they must be holding some older stock too. Price looks REAL good for the Gen II Brat.If the piece isn't too old then go for it.They are located in Louisiana.

Oh come on guys,he was trying to find TDC,you know that.:cool: If the pencil has the metal eraser holder then use a telescoping magnet. Should have seen me when I snapped the end of a springhook tool off into the combustion chamber.Yosemite Sam moment for sure.

(not laughing at you) I think maybe one person might have actually notified me without my having to ask,so I can't expect them to post here if they don't reply to me. We're at the very back end of this thing.MAV and the Canadians are last and it's all ready to wrap up. Plenty of room to openly criticize me if I fail on the last two. Heck,that's worth a whole new thread. Come on guys,I'm trying to kill a thread here. So,for now please don't post here and we'll let it linger untill the Hosers,eh,and MAV get theirs.Then its 86 time.

Richard,here's yours: Tracking number 231488510000051 Jan 30, 2007 5:21 PM Arrived at FedEx location BLOOMINGTON, CA whoo hooo! Getting closer....I'm guessing they toss it on your porch tomorrow.Enjoy! And,sorry again for not getting yours to you first. Cheers, Paul Right on,take care Mike! OK,I have some money,going to the Post Office tomorrow to get the Canadian order out.More apologies in order to you guys.Yours got boxed up and more or less shoved to the side while I tangled with FedEx,and learned that US Postal is the best for shipping over the border.Thanks again for your patience.I hope I didn't screw up anyone's winter project. MAV,still waiting.Please help me from backtracking and look for your email I sent to the address you sent Paypal from.(might have been mom's or another female in your life...)Or just send a solid $25 and that should cover your balance on the gaskets and shipping.

I unlocked it so it would fall through the floor when we're done with it. To me,we're just about done with it. I think maybe one of you actually confirmed without my asking,so to me it's "confirmed" if FedEx delivered it. But sure,I want to keep it untill everyone is happy.:-p Make room for Batch 2 !!!

Sorry,I either didn't realize you needed yours ASAP or I went toast on it.I got John C's out to CA first because he was really crying the blues.Kind of thought there was another urgent need but ....????? You should have the notification/tracking number email from FedEx. Enjoy! And please let me know about the removal and resetting cost.I'll be looking to do the same soon.If you're a pro and do it yourself please post some pics and advice.

So 7 cars entered already,right? And its not even February yet. Add the usual suspects and we round up about a dozen and a half cars if those folks show up.Jon(2) Matt(2) Keith, Dave(2?) Melis, Nick ,Scranton brothers,upstate NY guys,maybe Neo,and a couple more Jersey people. Any word on Scott S.? His kid ok,or what?

THere's washing facilities about 100 feet from our tent!!! All cars are welcome to use it FREE. Something I just found out last year. Dirty isn't too bad,especially if you show up really muddy in a 4WD. That'll show those Volvo XC wussies.

No sweat,and thanks for understanding too.I'm so broke right now that I might have to wait a couple more days to send it,very sorry. We learned about the rip off brokerage fees the hard way.If it goes over a US border just use the USPostal folks.

Supercede numbers can play tricks on you. Most of these numbers appear to me "first edition".

I'm more than half way through on checking the p/n's for Shawn,so don't go too crazy anybody. I have all FPM's from the 360 through 1982,and some more. Just takes some time flipping pages,hunting them down. Shawn,I'll gladly cover you for the 1100-1400 items. Gotta think you want the 1600 stuff. Talk to you soon.

Only thing I would add is go carefully around the corners.Take your time and don't press hard.Make several light cuts instead of pressing hard.

yeah,I'm working on it,and should be at the Post Office with cash tomorrow or Tuesday.The first package boxed will be one of the last to ship,sorry about the way that worked out.At least we're going USPostal now,and NOT FedEx or another major shipper.We don't need no stinkin' taxes coming back at me again. Problem the last couple of weeks has been getting time and cash in hand at the same moment.:-\

Went to Carlisle for our big show on a Friday night once in the '78.Same thing,lights went out.I checked the fuse,looked great,no fix though.Drove carefully for about 100 miles or so,next day had Skip look it over.He used my FSM and hunted through everything only to find the fuse I saw as good had a broken endcap.......didn't see that because I didn't take it out and tug on the ends.Filiment(sp?) looked good. Skip to the rescue! Might or might not help you too.

Hey guys,can we whack this thread now or what? Last to get them are the Canadians (Zefy accepting the lot) and MAV in Florida.Canadians look to be all set for payment.They've coverd the ticket.MAV needs to send just a small balance,so can we consider this batch done? Let thread drop?Delete it? On to batch two And BTW....git yer butts moving!!! Those of you who replied for Batch 2,please,please,please make things happen quick to ensure our price and make life easy for Todd and myself.Thanks

Nice base to work with!!!!!!! What's the Mfg. date on it?? Before May of '78? In a couple of years I'm going to need one just like that,not pretty,but solid.Keep that in mind for me.
