Bummer on the failure Dan - but awesome response to jump back in another ride and get back to the show.
This can be fixed!

Well maybe the block can't be fixed, but the car certainly can.Gregs672000 wrote:Ya, just a little JB Weld, a zip tie for the rod, forma-gasket... we're good!notoptoy wrote:This can be fixed!

We went to colfax last weekend to catch a train passing. No luck. This picture would be much better with a train in it

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
We ended up with 3 roadsters (Bob Middleton, Steve Painter and myself) this morning at the Cars and Coffee Williamsburg, VA. This caused quite a stir as many people hadn't seen a roadster let alone 3 in the same place.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)

Nowhere. I was going to hook up my 02 sensor and saw my muffler guy installed it so close to the tranny. I cannot remove it. Arggg. Another trip to the muffler shop.
I also could not figure out why my brake lights weren't working. I re-aligned the switch at the pedal but still could not get the lights to work. It may be related to my center console was removed for clean-up, maybe something needed grounding. I am not sure, but I bypassed everything and went from the fuse box straight to one side of the brake switch and my brake lights work again. A good quick fix till I revisit the issue.

re brake lights
I seem to recall that if your 4-way flasher isn't hooked up then the brake lights don't work. And of course the indicators don't either !
