I guess I should have searched 311s first. From your link I found some others about the hardtops. Thanks also for all the pics you post.

Do you have pics of the process or any details on what they did? My 68 Solex Roadster is almost ready for paint and I would like to also update my port hole window hard top. Are the side windows behind the door custom cutouts? Looks like the top was built up around the rear window??? Any tips/info will be appreciated. Recent work on my roadster includes full engine rebuild with all parts matched and balanced (85K original miles), NOS late model Solex (replaced the original old style Solex), Evans waterless coolant, new heater core ? valve ? cables, seats stripped to metal and rebuilt/reupholstered, all new interior carpet and panels?, new wheel bearings and suspension wear parts all around, new calipers and rear cylinders, new lines, new shoes/pads, new rotors, new comp front springs and sway bar, new fiberglass rear springs, new Bilstein adjustable shocks, chassis coated, body work done, etc. Hope to get to painting soon?. Being in San Diego, I never use a top, but would like to make it look nice in case I ever do.

It's time here in the frozen north of Arizona to pull the roadster out from short term storage, check it over and go for a ride down state route 89A to Sedona. Fun road and the roadster hasn't seen it yet. Also thinking of a quick trip to Williams to get chunk of banana cream pie from Pine Country Restaurant. I'd have to eat it in the car but they are doing curb side take out. Stan, doing Thunderbird assembly and other car operations.

I've been remiss on keeping my roadster on the road, and it is time to fix this.? It's been 4 or 5 years . . . It's last nap of more than a year ended when I had someone replace the clutch and also tidied up a bunch of other things it needed, back in 2001 or so.? That worked out so well, with the car running beautifully afterwards that I'd like to do it again.? If only I remembered who did it. . .? If I had better records and/or brain I'd know who it was and have contact info but I know I can ask this list who will of course be able to figure it out. I have a receipt but it doesn't show a name or contact info. It was someone in Lake county who came and towed my car back to their shop, did his magic, and then brought it back (or maybe I went and picked it up?).? I was in Alameda at the time.? For a bonus: I've since moved to Sebastopol, so it is a much shorter commute.? I understand that this was 19 years ago, but we are all crazy (in a good way) on this list and the likelihood of them still playing with our little cars is pretty good. It ran when I parked it (yeah right, everyone says that... but for real here).? Now it (at least) needs the hydraulics and fuel system/carbs wrung out, probably some more as well. And I need to get it new tires before it can be moved around at all, 2 are flat/rotted and all are showing cracking. Thanks all!

Take a look at http://bradakis.com/net_wire.jpg to get an idea of what happened.? Inside that marked off area you can see a black wire.? That is Team Net's connection to the world. Getting all the fallen branches off that wire is beyond my capabilities.? We've contacted some professional tree removers, haven't heard back yet, so not sure when the mess will be cleaned up. So basically if we get more wind gusts over the next day or two all that debris could shift and take out that network cable.? And Team Net would be off the air for who knows how long.? So be aware of that possibility.? If it happens, you might be seeing a status message from hoosierq at gmail.com that may look suspicious at first glance.? It will be from me. And another note, the old problem of delayed email seems to be occurring again.? Currently the delay is one the order of an hour or so, I'll be looking into the situation. Fun times indeed! mjb.

I had a old can of chem-dip from the 90?s that worked great. The can finally rusted through & needed replacement. Berryman still lists the chem-dip with the same part number but it isn?t the same stuff. I soaked a fuel pump in it for 12 hours & all it did was slightly soften the grease. The rest of the pump still looks like it did when I put it in. Is there a product or home brew today that works?

I dutifully checked mine. Nope, no plastic. Today I was getting my car ready for frame off & noticed that the REAR brake lined had the plastic covering! Since it has never been mentioned, does this plastic cause problems on the rear lines? I?m going to take mine off any way.

The OE hard lines are mild steel so they're subject to rust, especially with the plastic sleeving. IMO, the only thing that stuff is good for is trap moisture and rot the hard lines. I think Classic Tubes in NY is the company that Les says makes a hard line set for the front calipers. Don't remember if they offer the other hard lines, too. I do remember that when I replaced one of the hard lines on the rear axle several years ago I ordered it from Dean. Regarding your question about picking up the body, I'd suggest looking at the "H" shaped frames offered by Eastword and other outfits that are designed to lift pick-up beds. You might be able to fab up your own. Just remember to add the weight of the frame to your load. And defintely cross brace the body extensively before you try to lift it.

Love the British racing green. Back in the 90's I took all the emblems off my 1600 and drove it all over like that. Hardly anyone knew what kind of car it was and would always ask if it was an MG, except for Datsun aficionados,? of course. My plan at the time was to paint it BRG just to add to the confusion of the uneducated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The purpose of bench bleeding is to get the air out of the master cylinder before you connect it up. If you put a totally empty master cylinder into the car then try bleeding the brakes you will pump a lot of air into the system which will waste a lot of fluid before all the air is out. There are two ways to bench bleed the cylinder that I know of. One is to use a vacuum pump to pull the fluid into the cylinder to get the air out. This works pretty good but the second way works better. The second way is to make some short lengths of brake line that screw into the master cylinder & are bent to have the other end of the line over the reservoir so that as the fluid fills the cylinder it will be put back into the reservoir while the air escapes. The fastest way would probably be a combination of the two, pump first, then the recirculating lines. The ?bench bleeding? can be done either on the bench or in the car with the brake lines disconnected. The biggest thing to watch for is that the brake fluid in the reservoir doesn?t get down far enough that you pull air into cylinder.
