    Were the pedals in "standard" position? Many of these cars have adjustable pedal boxes to accommodate folks like you. Iirc Carl is similarly vertically challenged and fit into Orange. I know of other tall people squeezing into Birkins so I believe it can generally be done.

    Gotta give them something to ding you on. Fenders don't look to be too difficult for you to rectify. Good luck with round 2

    If no luck here try Jack @ Kinetic I think he was making some for a while

    I installed a custom dynamics CHMSL (ST6126ARACPT) 24LED version in my roll bar with connectors tucked into end of roll bar. This ties into the rear chassis loom to provide running, brake, & turn signals. Very happy so far

    finally warmed up? It was hotter in NJ today than it was last July !

    Ear plugs, hat (tied to car with a cord), lots of sun block, frequent stops. (A helmet is also great for wind buffeting & noise comfort) Have fun!

    Is there any consensus on how many nylon bolts to use? I just received mine today and wonder if there is a critical mass to secure the rear arch without there being too much resistance to breakaway? Eg: Two at front/rear end, one or two at the top and holes open in-between.

    Chris:My birkin fenders are secured into a threaded steel round. there are two offset rivest securing this to the inside of the aluminum skin. If you're interested i can PM you a picture. p.

    Ooh nice! But now that it's shiny you can never stop polishing

    Beautiful pictures! Did you bring Amos along to make you look good?

    I think best to remove. Disassemble. Plastidip I think cater ham is same as Birkin requiring the "special tool" to do this- Cut a Chanel in a socket to pass over the wires coming through the bolt.

    It looks crooked to me. Maybe blackhole and I should come help?

    I have a tiny crack on the edge of mine: had a local glass shop drill a hole at the end to prevent it from spreading. another option is to save your aluminum edging and have a new screen cut from safety glass or similar by a local shop adn then reassemble. The disadvantage is you loose the integral heating wires doing this.

    LED issue

    wemtd replied to papak's topic in General Tech

    I must be getting old.. Reading your solution jogged my memory to last year when I installed LED rear light clusters and had the same problem. Same solution with diode installation (similarly inexpensive trailer diodes from napa) - totally forgot about this fun discovery.

    So I guess no luck with the hotrod inquiry? That is above board, and iirc allows just about anything. Or don't use it as a street car.

    Silly question- do any of the various after market ecu's have OBDII plugs?
  20. wemtd
    Iirc you can keep your sticker I the glove box if there isn't a windshield. No tailpipe sniffer allowance: they're looking for OBDII clear of error codes. Check with your local guru, and the "kit car/specialty vehicle" lady in concord Good luck

    Chris take a drive to the Lincoln tool company in Maine.

    May suggest a locost approach? Find a low milage stock 2.0 engine from a rear end collision focus. A low spec engine is better than your flintstone-mobile. Do the work yourself and should be running for a few hundred bucks. What ECU/setup do you have?

    Other essentials: - Mirrors For Sevens http://www.mirrorsforsevens.com - paint protection film (if you want to try your hand at it. this is what i used and it stands up extremely well after 3 years) LLumar-12 fit my car well. https://clearmask.com/bulk-paint-protection-headlamp-protection-films.html - I use Alex at GranitStateDyno for tune-ups & full mapping and have been happy.
