Subject: SS Louvers
Dennis,
The black and white photo that you saw in the Delorean World Mag is
my car. The photo was published when the car belonged to the former
owner.
I am still reading the back issues of DML, back in July 1998 there
was discussion on a company that produced SS louvers, McCune
Technology Inc., Fayetteville NC.
The SS appears to be put on with adhesive and wraps under the rear
edge of the slat. There are a couple of pictures of the Fall Foliage
Tour that show the rear of my car but the louvers are not very
visible. I will try to get some closeup photos of my louvers into
the photo album soon.

Subject: RE: refabricate torsion bars
If you don't mind me saying, this is getting a little silly!
People who do not even own a DeLorean are worried about availability of parts?!
*IF* the time ever comes that you need one of these "rare" parts, you will be able to find one. There are more left fenders available now than 10 years ago! Parts are found, people who have been "hoarding" realize that if they artificially keep the price up someone will come along and find/make a replacement, and cars that cannot be restored are parted out.
There are plenty of hard to find parts on the DeLorean, why obsess on the torsion bar?? Don't worry about it until you need the part.

Subject: How to remove Deer Dings in the SS?
During a move to a new home this past weekend I hit a deer. My baby now
has her fest few dings. I am very lucky that the swerve at the last
second only resulted to a few minor dings (about the size of a quarter-
or deer kick) in the front fender, passenger door, and rear quarter
panel. In addition the drivers side mirror was completely ripped off.
Since the damage is quite minimal, is it possible to take the car to a
national outlet like "Dent Wizards", or does the SS require a Pro to
remove small dings? Also does anyone have a Drivers Side mirror they
wish to sell? If not I will contact one of D support centers.
Thanks-
Jason Perkins

Hi John.
I too, have been worried about torsion bars for my DeLorean. Being
the kind of guy who compulsively solves problems whether I want to or
not, I've designed two different replacements for the torsion bars.
They may both be better than the original design, in my somewhat
biased opinion, though the failure rate of the current torsion bars
doesn't seem to be that bad at all, all things considered. I've only
heard of one so far that broke without evidence of stress
concentration at a hinge scrape. If torsion bars end up scarce, I'll
come out of the closet with the replacements. Until then, I'll keep
a lid on them, as the ideas have some dollar value. If it is indeed
possible (I'm skeptical) that a vendor can offer original-equipment-
equivalent replacement torsion bars at their current cost, I won't
bother releasing the new designs. No matter how it's done, replacing
the torsion bars with a new design or batch should be expected to end
up being expensive, as anyone offering an alternative to will
probably need to justify the liability exposure by jacking up the
price. I hope I'm wrong. Anyway, you needn't worry, alternate
solutions have already been achieved. Your doors will always be able
to open, at a price, whether someone else provides the solution, or I
do it.

Subject: Re: refabricate tosion bars
I read James Espey's post that the torsion bars can be fabricated. In
the event that the torsion bars cannot be repreduced I think I could
come up with some kind of torsion spring like is used on large
overhead roll-up doors. The Delorean venders cannot let the scarcity
of a critical part cause use to not be able to use the cars. It would
cause them to go out of biz. Who would spend any money on a Delorean
if you can't open the doors? There would be no service biz or resale
market for us (private owners) or them (Delorean venders). I don't
think it is time to panic as the situation must have been much worse
when DMC went bankrupt and no one knew if ANYONE was going to be able
to service the cars at all! There is a large enough market that it
will pay to keep a pipeline of parts going on into the future. In the
case of the Delorean we are very fortunate in that many of the parts
of the car are not Delorean specific and can be aquired from alternate
sources. This makes it certain that there will be many parts available
at a fair price for a long time. This is not uncommon with old cars.
In many cases either venders come foward to repreduce parts or find
parts that can be adapted to use. The latest example is is the new and
improved door handle from DMC Houston. It is better then the
origional. The Zilla product line was created by a very dedicated
owner when he saw the problems with the origional equipment. There is
a lot of creativity among owners of old cars and they will do what it
takes to keep them going. Some of the Deloran venders are also among
the most dedicated of all of us, they have bet their livelyhoods on
us!

one going out, safety becomes a big issue for just getting in and out

there companies out there that make torsion bars? How will we
overcome this problem in the next few years? It saddens me to think
that other cars will be sacrificed and not restored all because of one
bar.

Hi Folks
I had the same problem that Richard described....steering column
rattle and some minor movement. It was the bushing at the end of the
column that needed replacing....one has to pull the steering column
to do this. I got it done at PJ Grady's and voila, the rattling went
away. I was cautioned however that waiting too long can result in a
widening of the hole in the firewall, so you might want to get it
fixed if this is the problem.

From: "Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Re: Please HELP my worst nightmare
Rick and List - I thought that I would briefly address the "scratched
torsion bar" issue ... if the scratch is not too deep, it can be
blended out, reducing the chance of the scratch initiating a crack.
Take the bar out, and clean it thoroughly with degreaser or mild
solvent. Obtain a fine rounded metal file, and gently file the area
until you eliminate the scratch, using a 20:1 blend ratio. What this
means is that, if you have a scratch that is .020" deep, you would
blend out an area approximately .40 wide, tapering from the edges to
the "bottom" of the scratch. The blend should be equal on both sides
of the scratch. Try to make the filing as smooth as possible. When
the scratch is no longer evident, use fine emery cloth or sand paper
(use nothing with iron or iron oxide!) to sand the blend as smooth as
you can get it. This procedure should minimize the stress riser in
the area of the scratch, and give you a better chance of not
experiencing fatigue failure of the bar due to a crack initiation at
the scratch.

Over the weekend I saw an episode of "Monster Garage" where a hearse
was being turned into a car crusher. I think it was on the Learning
Channel. On the design team was George Barris, the famous car
customizer. When he was introduced, they showed some of his
creations including the DeLorean time machine from "Back to the
Future". For those of you who missed it, the episodes are usually
run several times. Check your local listings.

It even has gullwing doors. You get the car after completing the

Subject: Re: refabricate tosion bars
I agree with Marc on all of this. Torsion bar failure is not a widespread
problem and no one is going to worry about this kind of silly stuff (my
apologies to Paul) for decades, when it actually IS a problem. And as far as
non-owners that are all worked up over this parts availability stuff -
doesn't it show something when the actual owners are not concerned? i think
it's kinda funny how the recent additions to the list seem to be rallying
everyone to make sure there are parts available for future owners - you don't
need to worry about it! there will be parts! we really need to quit crying
over quarter panel dies, torsion bars, etc.... cars are being parted out all
the time and there's nothing to worry about.....................
just ask the list WHEN THE TIME COMES! that's what i have learned. no part
is inaccessible. if you have the $$$, that is.

Hi all,
I just wanted to let people know that Ken is looking for people to write

Tour, which was a few weeks ago, that I wanted to write an article for it.
It was actually pretty simple and Ken said it really didn't need any
revising. The process was a piece of cake!
I know people have bitched about Delorean World ( I REFUSE to call it DW)
and how the content was weak. Well here's your chance. My article is on
the Fall Foliage Tour, but from my perspective: that of an enthusiast. It's
quite a cool spin on things. I suggested it, and Ken said go for it. No
'well try to do this' or 'well you dont own a Delorean, so no'. None of
that. I encourage everyone who wants to have something put into the
magazine to type up an article and submit it to Ken. We can make this 'zine
kick some major bootay.

Subject: Re: Parts list for replacement/sustitution
John, The list has been done several times. Problem is that manufactures buy
each other out and part numbers change. There has been a lot of that in the
last two years. It's a massive undertaken and I have kept up with it over the
years.. That is what my web site is all about. The other problem is so many
parts if you can come up with numbers aren't stocked and have to be special
ordered. Remember. The cars are 20 years old and getting older. Even I have
to try several suppliers to keep up with some parts. Any way, As a Delorean
vendor, that's what the parts business is all about.
Take a look at the web site, all the parts are sourced and normally priced
less expensive than over the counter. Naturally there are some exceptions,
but over all my parts are under warranty and priced cheaper for the same
quality as oe .

<< I wish to compile a list of sources for the most common engine and
mechanical parts that wear out.Things like water
pumps,alternators,radiators,wheel bearings,brake pads,winshield wiper
blades,water hoses,ac compressors,etc etc.I want to compile a list of all
suppliers of original,rebuilt,aftermarket,and good substitutes from other
vehicles.I would like to include if possible the model make and years of cars
with parts that will work.I realize that this is a massive undertaking but I
am willing to give it my best shot.If such a resource already exsisits please
let me know before I continue.All help appreciated.
