<br> Thanks Sarah. I have a nice roll of felt but maybe closed-cell foam instead? I'm concerned about the felt holding water.<br>

<br> Yea, that makes good sense. When I trial fitted the wrap, the flap kept trying to lift away as I pulled the canvas snug. I will follow your lead and make sure that the flap is low and aligned properly.<br>

<br> Love your projects! Here in Texas, the DMV doesn't even have to see the car. When I lived up in Oklahoma, the DMV had to visually verify the VIN but only for cars with out-of-state titles. They did not have to run.<br>

<br> My TR6 has new brakes all around but there is an obstruction in the rear circuit. Not a drop of brake fluid will flow. Perhaps I pinched a line when installing the new rear flex hose?<br>

<br> LOL! I retired six years ago. Today, I can't imagine how I ever had time to work!<br>

<br> Gulp! Glad that's sorted. I bought my Maserati Biturbo E with a lost California title...and then a dead PO! It took me over a year to get that one straightened out! I ended up with a bond title, but the car is mine now and licensed as such.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> Nice to hear from each of you again. I put new plugs in my XPAG but probably need to clean the SU jets and needles. I also need to install a new choke cable. Oh, and another thing...</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> When I reupholstered my car's seat back, the springs were rusted beyond repair, so I used foam; Too much foam. I made the seat back too thick and without the curved profile. It's comfortable but a bear to get in and out. I'm going to undo it all, reshape the foam, and reapply the upholstery. An electric carving knife is the perfect tool for shaping foam.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> That's it from my corner of Houston.
