And still take the investment risk. If that is the case, that person could make a digital version of the manuals instead of a printed one (pdf or something). There are some companies on the web that offer "print on demand" schemes. In such case you can can put the pdf (or whatever) online but also order a printed version of it. These companies then print the document and make a nice book of it and send it to whoever buys it. You can get pretty good quality manuals for around $60 or something. www.ondemandmanuals.com is such a website if you are interested... There isn't much of a profit for whomever makes the manual.....

I'm going to need a fairly large amount to redo some door arm rests pieces. Has anyone redone these in real leather?

I never thought of that. But I have thought of using magnetic reed switches and even putting mercury tilt switches in the doors. So far the idea I like best is the mercury switch idea. It would be the hardest for a shade tree mechanic to install because it would involve adding new wires in the doors (unless the unused wire for the heated side mirrors were used. Are there any other unused wires?) My main concerns for the capacitive proximity idea are the current draw when the car is left to sit and the chance of stray static charges turning the lights on and draining the battery even more. I'm not a big fan of magnetic reed switches because the magnetic properties in them sometimes change over time and they tend to stick open or closed regardless if they have ever had any current flowing through them. I still like the mercury switch idea best -- no battery drain, no maintenance, and high current capacity. After all, that is the traditional way trunk and hood lights are operated. The Delorean door isn't much different in that respect. You could then replace the switch on the door post with a small hand operated switch to save the battery. I don't mean to be a twisted ray of sunshine in an otherwise bright idea though :) Walt Tampa, FL ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 25 Dec 2000 11:15:43 -0800 From: "Gabe" <thecreech@xxxxxxxx> Subject: Riverside Resort Laughlin Car Museum Recently, I visited the Riverside Resort in Laughlin, Nevada which of course has a car museum including a delorean. The strange thing about it was it was missing its DMC ebmlem on the grille. I was wondering if possibly the owner of the car is on this list(It said it was owned by a couple from california) and they could see about replacing the emblem? They probably own lots of cars and don't have anything special with the delorean so they probably aren't on the list. The car looked completely naked without it and I thought it was a sad thing to have one missing its emblem in a Museum. Anyone else seen this car? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
