    SV rubber door buffers

    As I am sure many of you know by now a gentleman on ebay is selling Sunbeam rubber door buffers. I bought a pair and am very happy with them. However, I am embarrassed to say that I don't know exactly where they go. I have searched previous threads and while they are mentioned there is no in...

    England, Britain, UK? - this will make it simple

    Actually Nick it is a question I have been trying to find an answer for for over twenty years. One of the catch phrases of the American revolution was "no taxation without representation". Did the founding fathers really want that? I believe not. The leaders of the revolution were not idiots...

    Gorgeous day for a drive

    Snow And in beautiful central California, sunshine and 60 degrees. We get our punishment in the summer and its 110 in the shade. I really admire all of you who live in snow country. I hate snow and I've never lived in it. I can stand in my front yard and see tons of the white stuff on the...

    1. Let them build it. 2. Fill it with Muslims. 3. Blow it up. By the way, how can they build it without an American construction company? Are we so in search of the dollar that an American company would agree to do this? How about the bureau that grants permits? What should we do with...

    West Coast Invasion??

    Phoenix in the spring or fall would be great. If you have never been to the desert it has its own beauty. How far is Phoenix from the Grand Canyon. If you have never seen that you should. Paul

    Stabilizer Installation

    I had a dickens of a time getting mine in also. I finally had to drag my son over which helped a lot. Used jacks, Clamps, and vice grips. Use lots of patience and if you find yourself getting frustrated take a break:cool:. This is not a fun job. You'll get it eventually, hang in there. Good...

    Shift boot

    I had a boot retainer ring made at a machine shop. I think they used a cnc. I had previously spoken with Rick at length about this, and he thinks that at some time the opening was made larger with a larger boot. These are not available any more. The ring is beautiful and fits the boot like a...
