Re: door guides; plus a story



There are at least 3 different metal door guide sets, with part numbers
W300004, W300007, and W300008. I have all 3 in stock, but due to production
inconsistencies you really need to be able to trial fit them to the specific
car. I have also seen gray plastic guides, but don't have the number at
hand for them.

Now for a short story - like most DeLoreans, even my modified car seems to
have a constant battery drain. So several years ago I installed on the side
of the battery a "Battery Buddy" which automatically cuts the power when it
senses a drain over a period of time. It has always worked well and I never
have a dead battery. But it does have one unexpected quirk. Saturday, a
small contingent of PNDC DeLoreans participated in a local parade, the
second largest in the state. Midway through the route, as I led the group,
suddenly my tach went nuts; then the motor died and all power was gone! It
occurred to me that with the lights flashing, radio on, and newly charged
A/C on full blast, even my 108 amp Delco alternator was overtaxed at an
idle. The Buddy did its job - it saved my battery! So, as we coasted
downhill my wife had to lean forward while I fumbled in the battery
compartment for the reset switch while trying not to run over the float
ahead of us. Although it was a little embarassing, most onlookers probably
didn't have a clue what happened. All ended well, except that somehow I
managed to fry my Craig (yes, Craig) CD player in the process. I didn't
know low voltage could do that.
