Sorry - should have said "sealant" - like thread compound. I prefer replace things like this, since generally I don't like doing the work twice, and often the leak is not at the threads but thru the switch/sender itself.

They will be on the DMCNEWS.COM page at http://www.dmcnews.com/memphis02/memphis.html - currently where the caravan information is now. I'll post a note to the list when it's updated. I'll also set up a do-it-yourself section in the YahooGroup Photo page. Look for "MEMPHIS2002" and please add folders inside for your photos.

I found it very easy to do with the spoiler, grille, and shroud removed (no need to drop the anti-sway bar). I have to take the whole front off the car? Man.... maybe I should pay someone to do it... the only problem I run into is I don't trust anyone to work on it (i have seen to many cars used for tool shelves and find cigarette burns in my wife's car, and we dont smoke).... I can do simple tasks (I have changed the tail light circuit boards, put in a tankzilla, installed the overheat protector, put in a new headlight switch, and a new brake light switch).. but those are simple... removing the whole front of the car is probably beyond my ability... I've been contemplating joining the North California Delorean Owners association since they are closer than anyone else (i live in New Mexico)... i could probably pay a group member to come up and do it... thanks for the info! mike ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 5 Date: Sat, 08 Jun 2002 02:15:16 -0000 From: "sk1pper_landry" <skipper@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: unfortunate news As some of you know I have had some unfortunate happenings with my car. Things are going fine as far as the repairs and it looks like she will be running in great shape real soon. I have lots of new parts and updates being done. Unfortunately however, I will have to let someone else enjoy my all work. Last friday (5/31/02) I was informed that a childhood illness has returned and I was rediagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome. It is something that was unexpected, but cannot be ignored as it cannot be stopped in my case. I do have some time left, but this has made me reorganize my priorities and my car is not one of them. I will have my DeLorean all complete and ready for inspection and sale between the end of June and the middle of July. I will ba taking lots of pictures and putting it up on e-bay and all the local sales magazines. I am not goig to try to sell her for any profit and I want to sell it quickly so there is less stress on my family later. She has a lot of history and I love her alot, but I cannot be selfish and leave my family with unnecessary burdens. She will be sold by July's end for whatever it brings. I will intertain any offer over 10K and will be happy to presell her if someone is sincerely interested. I am letting this group know so maby if anyone knows someone that wants a DeLorean they can contact me for her sale. I am completely saddened that I will not be able to see my dreams and plans come to reality with this car. If God sees fit to and spairs me, I will own another one day, but today is not that day. Please do not trouble the moderators with notes here as thay have alot to contend with as it is. Feel free to e-mail me privately with any information you may have concerning a new owner. thank you all for your support, Skipper Landry skipper(AT)sk1pper.com ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 6 Date: Sat, 08 Jun 2002 02:44:46 -0000 From: "jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Oil sender? You CAN reseal your sender switch. Remove it from the motor, disassemble, clean, (with alcohol) and reassemble using silicone sealer as you go. A little goes a long way so use sparingly. It seems that they mostly leak from the stem, not where they screw into the motor but a SMALL dab will prevent any leaks when you reinstall. Again inspect the wire where it comes down alongside the motor, the heat makes it crispy (brittle). You can also test the light by grounding the wire, when you touch it to ground the oil light should illuminate. It should also light up as you turn the key and before you start the motor as there is no oil pressure at that point.

You have every right to market and sell what ever you see fit. It's your right. And as long as people choose to take advantage of what you offer at the price you set, then perhaps that is all the justification you need. On the other hand, for those of us who will not be buying your shock kit, since we can make or source the $194.00 spacers and collars ourselves, how about volunteering the part numbers and cross refs for the Gabriel and Monroe units you're selling, strictly for the benefit of the Delorean community?
