Re: [DML] Delorean restoration project, need some tips!



Before pulling the entire radio why not check for an open in-line fuse.

Your cycling cooling fan problem may be easily corrected by replacing the
cooling fan circuit breaker.

If the alternator with the D is a Delco your O.K., if it's a Ducellier; get
rid of it. You can contact us or your favorite DeLorean parts supplier for a
replacement.

Most body shops cannot repair your stainless steel panels. We send all of
our damaged panels to DMC Houston.
