Does anyone out there have any info on the bricklin-turner powerplant?
I suppose Malcolm's reputation preceded him in the venture, but that doesn't
necessarily mean the powerplant itself was a bad product.....
On the other hand, a powerplant as small as the one pictured in an old issue
of the brickline that can be disassembled in 5 minutes does sound far
fetched....
any test results, schematics, blueprints, etc would be great, as patents for
the product should be expired by now....
I tried an internet search for information on the powerplant but with no
results.
Also, I have figured out a few things regarding the wiring for the doors if
anyone wants me to post them....partial wiring diagram for air/hydraulic
systems....
I'm sure most of the DIY'ers already know this stuff, but i don't know if
anyone has actually written it down on paper yet.
one last thing...
According to the 1975 service manual suppliment, the heater takes air from
outside the car and the a/c takes air from either outside or recirculates the
air in the car...
I was wondering if anybody has tried modifying the heater setup so it
recirculates the air in the car. My Plenum is rusted out really bad, and was
thinking if this mod could be done, both heat and a/c would no longer require
the two openings in the plenum...am I correct?
Mini-Tech Tip: I found a product in Kit Car magazine that could solve the 1975
radiator hose problem...from what i understand one of them is hard to find or
non-standard. Coolflex is a radiator hose that works kinda like flexible
conduit for electrical or the goosenecks in desk lamps...just bend it into the
right shape...
