There isn't much information available yet since nothing has been finalized, but what I can say is that these kits will supposedly be nicer, and more "cost friendly" than the kits that are presently available. I was told that they will be available around the first of March or so. So if you're in that market like I am, hang on a couple of months. I'm waiting patiently... ---Dan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 23:04:28 -0000 From: "Vin#5462" <dmc12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Door Alignment Dear All, My doors are out of line and are hard to close, they are not hitting the latch pins correctly and make a clunk when I shut the doors, I can't adjust the latch pins any more as they are a high as they can go.

I've loved the Delorean for so long, and now that one is finally within reach, the feeling is indescribable...that is until I actually get my hands on one.<G> Thanks again! I'll stay on this list in case I have any other questions, and besides, it's great to read about you guys and the cars you live for.

All I want to do is remove the bracket holding the radio, center vents and AC en Light switches. (Part#106639) The only clue I have on how it is held in place is in the Partsmanual Section 7:3:0, If I'm right this bracket/mountingplate is held in place by 4 screws; two below the shifter-plate and two at the upper edge. These 2 screws ar Part# SP10133. What I really need to know is if this can be removed leaving the armrest in place; I don't want t completely disassemble my interior just for putting in a radio. Can I reach the two screws at the top without remaoving all the leather and other stuff??? If full removal is really the only way I'll probably just cut the bracket to DIN-size while it's in the car... JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac... Living the Dream...

When inside the car, pull with the strap. Also, check and see if you have the metal guides, which are mounted on both the front and rear of the door, the guides. If you are already closing the door correctly, then you may need to adjust it.

I just received some new stuff that PJ Grady is offering that I think other DeLorean owners might be interested in. I got a new type of key blank, and new clutch and brake foot pads. The key looks exactly like Lee's keys did, but there's one "key" difference (pun intended). The molded part of the keys from PJ Grady's are made from a different material that is almost exactly like the originals were. It's a little more flexible than Lee's keys which were made from an epoxy material. These new keys are a little more "rubbery" on the head. This means it will be more resistant to breakage and scratching, which is how the original keys were made. I also got brand new brake and clutch pads for the pedals. I was told that they are made out of a different compound that won't harden over time like the originals did. And they can't be distinguished from the originals either. They look exactly like a new one would! The prices for these items were pretty good too. The keys are $21.95 each, and the pads are $17.50 each for a car with manual transmission. If you wanted to get all 3 pads, (clutch, brake, and throttle), they'll cost $32.50 as a kit for a car with manual transmission. So, if anyone needs this stuff, I recommend ordering them from PJ Grady. I got them in one day. The number is (800) 350-7429. I hope this helps some fellow owners out there. This stuff just recently became available, so I figured I'd let you all know about it. Have a good and safe holiday all!!! ---Dan ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
