I thought you developed the "overheat protector" in 1996...? Is 86 a typo? At any rate, just for the record, and giving credit where credit is due...I believe that Toby Peterson, working with other Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club members, actually developed the bleed kit a few years before you did. I know that they in fact had installed these kits on at least 12 cars between 1993 and 1994. Not trying to dimish your efforts Joe...I still give you kudos for realizing the idea on your own.
