Hello to all
Has anyone upgraded to halogen headlights?  Terry says the wiring harness is
marginal and to watch out the amps aren't too high.  My plan is to order a
harness and 7" halogens.  Has anyone had any problems doing this?

Alternately I was contemplating mounting small (2") driving lights under the
bumper so I can see at night.

Thoughts?

I  Put halogens in a few years back. I had to shave some plastic were they
closed. I used a headlight relay I believe Standard was the brand. Just run
a hot wire from the battery and split open the one headlight wire incoming
to the relay and the headlight side to the light side of the relay. not bad
and saved the headlight switch.

I beleive most of the regular sized headlights you now get have a halogen bulb
inside a larger casing. They are noticeably brighter than the normal ones.

I bought a pair of 7" headlights (part #47-0281 from the site below)
http://www.lmctruck.com/features/fb/FBEL1.htm

with 60/55W bulbs. I don't use
the 60W high beam to keep my wiring out of trouble. I've been pretty happy
with them though I must say that I don't drive much at night

Has anyone tried LED headlights? They draw much less power than halogen or
conventional incandescent bulbs so shouldn't require a relay or pose any
danger to the wiring.

Greets Larry

I'm not sure if you are aware of it, but there are multiple other groups
already out there (on Facebook)? (Not counting other channels of
communication such as this mailing list, http://www.Bricklin.org/Forum,
Yahoo, etc.) 

Stupid question perhaps, and I don't mean to be disrespectful but just
wondered - why create another group? Why would I contribute to your group
over the Forum or one of the other groups available?

Here's a few I came up with quickly ...

Bricklin SV1
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=389348190978
A group for Bricklin owners and lovers to post photos of their cars. Swap
parts and Collect technical information.

Bricklin Owners
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2319443183
Owners of the Bricklin car

Bricklin Car Appreciation Group
http://www.facebook.com/groups/5976518100/

Gullwing doors...Because every car door should be hinged at the roof.
http://www.facebook.com/groups/115939628488587/
Okay, so if we can't have flying cars at least give us Gullwing Doors! From
the Mercedes 300 SL to the Gumpert Apollo, you just can't hate them. They've
been around since the early 50s and will never go out of style. There have
been many contenders who have tried to surpass the gullwing design (such as
Lamborghini's scissor doors and the odd vertical doors of the Koenigsegg's
CC8S) but none have quite captured the allure of the humble seagull.
Mercedes crated them, Bricklin made them affordable, John Delorean made them
infamous, and we'll plea for more of them.

Well, last night I was doing a search trying to find a group and the only
ones I could find are about to be archived (bricklin sv-1 and bricklin
owners) due to inactivity.
I did not know about BCAG and gullwing doors. No disrespect, the mailing
list and forum are great sources of information, but I find it a bit
cumbersome trying to follow strings and not being able to post pictures of
parts and what not. Just as BBS (bulletin boards progressed into the
internet and WebPages. Even on the BI website you have to be a club member
in order to gain access to the parts database. I just wanted to offer
another source only because I could not find one on facebook, but I guess(as
you pointed out) that there are already others.

"archiving" was a bad choice of words to be used by facebook, they are just
converting all groups to a new format, the groups created in the "old" format
are saved and converted, no noticeable changes to the end user. several groups
I "belong to" have been archived.

Another amazing Bricklin fact.

"It was actually the first car to have front and rear bumpers."

Seems like someone should have caught that one in editing.

I do not believe this one is accurate.

"The original drawing blueprint was sold to John DeLorean and that's what 
inspired the DeLorean. "

I know this one has some paint on it due to the beltline, ground effects are 
made in fiberglass.

I am getting to replace another bimba cylinder.  I have lightly lubricated
them with ait tool oil, but they never seem to keep the seal from failing.
Since these are not repariable I would like to try to take care of them so
they would last for at least a couple of years between replacement.

I usually use aw32 hydraulic oil and squirt some in the top port of each
cylinder each spring, the only issue I sometimes have is it sometimes works it
way back to the solenoid and makes then a bit sticky, I can usually fix that
by taking it apart and cleaning the solenoid

Subject: [Bricklin] FS: Fenders and Hatch

I'm not a Bricklin guy (I like them but I've always preferred stainless), but
I've got a pair of original front fenders (originally orange with crusty red
paint on them) and a rear hatch (same color) for sale $75 each obo. UPS won't
ship the fenders (too large), but if you can arrange freight I'd be happy to
package and put on a truck.  I'm in Tennessee. Thanks - DeLoreanSS at aol.com
