Mark,
Had my TD out yesterday too. I have the top up with curtains in place.
I want to get the wrinkles out of the top. Uh huh. Are you buying this?
I live in So. Central PA and it was chilly here too. My car shifted OK
but not as smooth when cold as I would like. now I'm fixing my brake
light that never worked.
Took out the old brake switch and put in a new one. Voila! Brake lights.
Now it's the most dim filament that illuminates with brake pedal
depressed. Now to figure out which wires I need to switch to get the
bright filament to illuminate with brake pedal depressed.
Steve
52 TD
