Robert,

Terry Tanner has has fabricated some very nice new ones.  I think they run 
about $90/pr.  Look at end of email for list of vendors.  Also check out the
Vendors list on the web page:  www.bricklin.org

Try any VDO distributor in your area - or Terry

There is a plastic decal - you might try Terry, John Cherba, Rich Haines
(tell 
him I sent you), Roy Dunn                   

I don't know what they cost - probably < $50 but to paint it would probably
be more unless you do it.

Yes! There were 2 articles about that in the July issue of The Brickline.
I'm sending you a membership form (in a seperate email) in case you want to
join the club.  If you do, as that you membership be started with the July 
issue.

I also sell a 36 page documentation package on the wiring of the 75's
There are NO other wiring diag. available.

Try Terry for the hand brake rubber.  In a darkened shop (or at night) put
a light in the engine bay and under the car.  Look for any light holes on
the fire wall.  That will be a source for the heat to get in.  You may
have a sticking vac. control valve on the heater box that is letting hot
water into the heater box when the A/C is on.  Another possibility is that
the control cable to the blend door is not properly adjusted.

Don't know - again - Terry Tanner or John Cherba.
