I have two covers for my soft top - (I want to be clear here - I know it's call a hood in the book). I just replaced my top/hood with a tan from Caribou Canvas. My covers are both black. Anyone want

Sorry guys, I have been on travel the last week, and I found that there are about 10 people intererested in the extra cover I have. I'm in a quandry now - how much do I want for it, and who should ge

Date: Tue, 8 Sep 98 14:35:09 -0400
How do the foil strips that go on the brack pads work? They have adhesive on both sides, and it seems that the piston would tear it up after a few brake applications. Mine squeal badly at low speed,

If I roll up the windows of my 72 with the door open, the doors can't be closed - - the top of the window glass is 'outside' the windshield. (This is hard to describe) It's as though the angle of the

I drove into work today, and noticed my Ignition light glowing red. I'm not sure if it's been on in the past, as it was only dark enough to see it this AM. I recall this means charging problem - is t

Found that the negative battery terminal clamp was cracked in half. Still started fine, but enough resitance in the connection to let the light glow, I guess. Thanks for all the suggestions. Joe 72 S

My 72 takes about 30 seconds of turning over before it will start after sitting for several days. It seems like there is no fuel in the carb or line, and it has to be pumped from the tank. Is this no

Has the recent valance thread been talking about the ones that go on the side of the engine, or the ones on the sides of the radiator? I need BOTH! I think the drawings of these 4 panels would be a g

I want to make a replacement dash, and wonder if anyone has tried to use a single piece of wood, rather than the 3 sections my '72 has now. Seems like it would be just as easy to fit, but I thought I

I need a new top for my 72 Spit. Caribou Canvas seems to be highly recomended and reasonably priced, but I gather that you get a 'top in a box', no fasteners, no instructions. Is it tough to find/ins
