Damn! Great guy! His earler Dangerman / Secret Agent series was great too! Rob "Where am I? In the Village. What do you want? Information. Whose side are you on? That would be telling…. We want information. Information! INFORMATION! You won't get it. By hook or by crook, we will. Who are you? The new Number Two. Who is Number One? You are Number Six. I am not a number — I am a free man!

Oh .. I see a se7ens drive from Atlanta! I've been trying to justify a drive to Birmingham! Rob

I bought two seat heating elements (each consists of a back and seat) off eBay to install when I reupolster the seats .. They will be driven by two independent timing circuits .. which a friend has promised he will design. Rob

I have the 13" Grant Signature series .. with removable lockable hub. Rob

A friend and I were talking about these cars tonight .. so I brought up this reference .. Looking at the second pic .. one car is towing a port-a-potty! Rob

I actually made it into the micro car museum and saw that beast! Funny .. Hotwheels made a miniature of it! Rob

Refitting the Rotus hood in a haphazard way .. then painting .. Rob

Today I drilled and tapped my knob for 12mm x 1.5 .. mounted it on the shift stick and it looks great! Rob

Andrew: Resolution ?? Rob

Nice start! As another commented .. looks a little high for a seven. Rob

More weirdness this Wednesday morning too!

As you know .. the first step is to check the thermostat .. which you have done by boiling .. (I always got pissed off when a shop would charge a diagnostic fee when replacing a faulty thermostat.) FWIW .. I've had thermostats which would open mostly? when boiled .. but would still not perform properly in the car. Want to try it without the thermostat and see what happens? Do you even need it with a garage kept, seasonal car? Rob

:lol: Rob

Finally finished all the custom wiring under the scuttle .. I added more webbing to the wiring nest .. and labeled many wires as I went .. Cleaned up some cables wires with long pieces of shrink wrapping. New windshield wiper delay circuit .. controlled with vintage Atari PONG potentiometer! New CHMSL circuit with two flashing modes. New Daytime Running Lights circuit. New self-cancelling turn signal circuit. there are six diodes to isolate various functions in the above circuits. Rewired the charging interface for the tricle charger. Added a switch to the handbrake. Modified the 1970's Toyota Hazard pull switch to work with the turn signal circuit. It is now a momentary contact pull switch! Modified the 1970's Toyota Windshield Wiper switch to work with the Lucas MGB wiper relay circuits. I simplified wiring to each of the Toyota switches with original wiring plug assemblies. Still worth mentioning: Old: Muth Signal Mirror Multifunction Circuit. That's a total of five custom circuits added to the car! Tomorrow I hope to reinstall the scuttle .. Muth motorcycle signal mirrors and windshield. Rob Rob
