Hi!
This maybe a dumb question.
In the parts manual.... section 3 / subsection 4 / group 1
Electrical components...
Is part # 101054 (marked as resistance)
supposed to get really hot (burn your finger hot)
it also hums a bit when the ignition is on and the
car is not running.
This part is on the back left hand side of
the wall in the engine compartment ...
Thanks.

Subject: [DML] DML: 5 Year Coolant, Take II
Date: 14-Jun-99 9:23:32 -0400
There were a couple of messages over the weekend about coolant,
including this question from Murray:
> Recently I saw info from someone re some new
> coolant supposedly good for 5 years! Does
> anyone know for sure about this?
I am the one who posted that message. I had read about the new coolant
at a local autoparts store, but due to a few vague phrases on the label
I suspected it might be snake oil. So I called Prestone and spoke to a
technician who assured me that the new coolant will indeed last five
years in my DeLorean without doing any damage.
> I changed other liquids at that time (two years ago)
> I did not change the coolant... [SNIP] I am very
> aware that it is good to change coolant on cars every
> year or so, howevever this coolant is a fairly bright
> blue color.
Yes, it is important to change your coolant in any car, especially one
with an aluminum engine. This has to do with preventing corrosive
deterioration, NOT with keeping the engine cool. As they explained to
me, coolant reacts chemically with the aluminum and gradually changes
its acidity. Over time this will damage your engine, radiator, heater
core, and just about everything else in your cooling system.
After a year or two, old coolant will still keep your engine cool but it
will begin to slowly ruin your aluminum.
For about $1 per gallon more, the new formula coolant is more stable and
will last much longer than the old green coolants.
To get the new coolant to last so long, it is vitally important to
remove every drop of the old stuff. You must perform a flush of the
whole system. This is the reason Prestone's new coolant is colored
orange, to prevent us consumers from accidentally mixing it with the old
green stuff. I have heard that other brands have colored their new
formula coolants in red. However, I do not know about that blue stuff
that Murray found in his car. Perhaps it is just a different brand of
the new formula?

Subject: [DML] Re: OLD COOLANT
Date: 14-Jun-99 10:03:34 -0400
I can't speak for old coolant in a DeLorean, but I recently had problems with
my '91 Mercury Cougar due to old coolant. According to the dealer,
anti-freeze becomes acidic with age. That is the reason Ford suggests
flushing the system and replacing the coolant every 30000 miles. I left mine
in for some 60000 miles before changing it. Since then I've put another
30000 miles on the car. Well, the old coolant had acidified and created a
weak spot in the head gasket at the number 4 cylinder. I've never had this
problem with my DeLorean, but since most anti-freeze is the same, I figure
it's better safe than sorry. I had the coolant system in my D flushed a few
months after I bought it. I don't feel like having to put head gaskets in it
when $20 worth of anti-freeze would save me this expense.
Should you change the anti-freeze in a DeLorean every year as someone
suggested earlier? This seems to be a bit too often to me.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for that info, it is what I was looking for. I assume then that
it is the Prestone brand. I will look into getting mine changed and insist
on a very thorough flush job. I am 78 years old and don't bend as well as
I used to, so hire most things done, although I have done everything you can
name to cars and engines over my lifetime. I am good at supervising tho.
Ho Ho. Joe says my mileage would indicate that my present antifreeze is
still within its limits. Also got two notes from others who say when they
bought their cars brand new it had this same bright blue coolant in it! I
have not found out just what brand it is yet, but one of them said his still
has it in it. Yes, I know about the corrosion etc, so want to get it
changed quickly. Thanks again.
BTW by any chance can you give me any info on draining and refilling the
coolant properly. I see your input on here quite often and thought you
might know this. I remember in the olden days we used to drain the petcock
on the radiator and then another one on the block itself in order to get all
the old coolant out. I might mention that I have the mod in my cooling
system where a by pass tube goes from the upper engine center rear, to the
"front" of the plastic reservoir. I got this from the Pacific Northwest
Club in Seattle, Wa, who have developed it. It works great and no problems.
Re Joes comments, I would think that TIME would be the constriction
rather than MILEAGE, but who am I to know!

Date: 14-Jun-99 20:26:02 -0400
Murray,
Just thought I would tell you that I am the inventor of the "air bleed by
pass". Here is how it came about. In 1989 when my DeLorean turned 150K
miles the engine developed a leaky head gasket which caused air to be
trapped at the thermostat. I knew that if I could bleed the air from the
system on a continuous basis I could continue to drive the car. I already
knew that there was an air bleed hose running from the top of the radiator
back to the coolant bottle. I realized that if I could do the same at the
thermostat it should solve the problem.
After I did the modification the problem was corrected. After several
months of field testing I started to install the modification on customers
cars. Several years ago one of those cars traveled up to one of the big
DeLorean shows and the owner said that many of the participants in the show
were very interested in the set up. Shortly after that I heard that someone
from a club up north was selling the device to other DeLorean owners.
No harm done, I am glad to know that something I developed was helping
other DeLorean owners. However, I would like everyone to know that It was
developed by yours truly, or better yet I will give credit to DeLorean
Services.
I believe there is a clause in my contract that reads that anything I
invent belongs to the company. This should keep our legal department happy;
ha! ha!

Subject: [DML] Scirroccos, anyone?
Date: 14-Jun-99 23:04:37 -0400
You know, I was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat as I.
Aside from the delorean being my number 1 dream car, there's a humble
little Volkswagon out there that sports an incredible body. The
Scirrocco. Mostly just the middle models, 1985, & 86. But if anyone
ever sees this car driving down the street, stop a minute and glare at
it's beautiful cut-off 80's lines. With a thin grill, dual square
headlights on each side, and a low, mean hatchback gives it a charming
resemblance to the D. And if you ever see one painted silver, then it's
hard to differ them. So, as the D may be my dream car, many of you, like
myself who cannot afford or even find a D, the Scirrocco is a beautiful
alternative, and a good 2nd place dream car. Keep an eye out. And don't
underestimate the power of the Volkswagons.

Subject: [DML] Engine Popping Fun!
Date: 15-Jun-99 0:09:34 -0400
Dear List,
Okay, here's my latest...When I start my DeLorean after its been
sitting for awhile, it will idle extremely rough and at down around 500
RPMs. The engine will not respond to any changes in the position of the
throttle until about 5 minutes after its been running, and when it
finally does respond I get this weird popping noise that sounds like
it's coming from inside the engine. After the car has been running for
about fifteen minutes, it will calm down and behave semi normally,
except then I have a serious loss of power. It will also run hot at
around 220 degrees according to the temperature gauge. I've bled and
refilled the coolant to resolve the temperature problem, but that hasn't
helped. I've also noticed absolutely no leaks in the system.
I might have found the solution, but I wanted to check it with the
experts before I go poking around in unfamiliar territory. Apparently
the last owner of my car had fuel mixture problems a lot. The threaded
hole where the fuel mixture adjustment screw used to be is stripped and
instead of a screw, someone has stuck the top of a golf tee in it. Now
I'm not saying this wouldn't work, but I'm fairly sure there is a better
way to plug that particular hole. If I go messing with this tee (which
is jammed in pretty tight) I'm afraid I might break it off, but if I
don't mess with it I may never solve my idling problem. The other thing
I was thinking it might be is the cold start valve, but that appears to
be in working order. Any help would be very, VERY useful!
Thanks in advance,
Josh

Subject: [DML] How do I test my lock module?
Date: 15-Jun-99 0:02:24 -0700
Hi Everyone!
Here's a quick power lock question I haven't been able to find in the archives.
My central locking system doesn't work.
So here's what I've done....
I tested the solenoids and I can manually fire off each one (together) by attaching a wire directly to the battery terminals and then touching the solenoid connections.
In it's regular state...there doesn't seem to be any power going to the system at all.
Solenoids, door contact switch etc....are all dead.
In the MAIN connection plug - My module connector only has 4 wires coming out of it - should there be five or more??
My female connection switch has the bottom 4 holes filled - every other hole is empty. I have the small plug that jets out of the main bundle attached. When I opened the actual module (black box) there appears to be some wires cut on each
The last owner of my Delorean told me that he had "remote" locks...but lost the key transmitter... and now I'm wondering if he hacked into the factory lock system to retrofit his.
Were remote locks standard in 83?...or is this some after-market ^$#*&$#^*.
He butchered the electrical system. I felt like Quincy tonight conducting an autopsy.
Would the other relays in the system affect the lock module? I'm going to replace the 8 common ones next weekend and was wondering if it would help. Also...the lock module itself doesn't appear to have a fuse or anything...am I missing so
I appologize in advance if the questions are dumb.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!!

Subject: [DML] Winshield washer pump access...what am I missing?
Date: 15-Jun-99 0:03:57 -0700
Just when you thought it was safe.....
ANOTHER question.
What am I doing wrong.
My windsheild washer pump burned out and am trying to access it for replacement.
There are 6 or 8 small screws around the perimeter of the compartment that attach it to the underside of the car. Every screw I put a socket on just spins....doesn't come loose...doesn't tighten.
I've tried wd40, and penetrating oil...no luck. Any helpful hints?
P.S. I've tried secret passwords like @^%@#$^ and *(($#($*& ...but the compartment refuses to budge.
No one ever told me owning a Delorean would be THIS much fun! :)
Thanks for any help.

Subject: [DML] Clutch Replacement
Date: 15-Jun-99 11:56:20 +0200
Yes it is a Renault transmission and you can use a clutch repair kit
from Renault. In Germany a Renault repair shop did the job for me. At
the moment I have not the number for the kit but in USA it is easier to
get one from a DeLorean supplier. The most important thing is to tell
every mechanic who wants to work at your car that he never lift the car
at the jack points because the hole weight of the car will hang on a few
screws connect the frame with the plastic shell. The best is a lift
where the car can stand with the wheels on it.

Date: 15-Jun-99 14:03:26 -0500
Greetings again,
First I would like to thank everyone for their response to my idea
about the D event to be held at the Ponchatoula Strawberry Fest 2000. So
far I have heard from four owners.
I would like to be able to go ahead and give my local Chamber of
Commerce a call but I was wondering if there might be a few more of you out
there that would like to attend.
I will be getting us into the anual parade and into the carshow. It
is a great family event and it draws in crowds of over 225,000 people.
For more info contact me at SteveDMC@i-55.com
or you can visit the local webpage at www.ponchatoula.com
I hope we can make this an exiting festival,
Steve Rice

I sure hope you have checked the fuses first, this is a lot of work to fix.
More #$%^# words to follow, I'm sure
The fun is just beginning. Your not going to like this, but what has happened
is that the screws have galled themsleves into the aluminum rivet-nuts that
are attached to the body, and are now spinning uselessly in the holes. The
only fix I have ever see for this is to grind the screw heads off with a
Dremel tool, then grind off the riv-nuts, and then replace them. My
recollection is that several of the screws holding the washer tank cover in
place are behind it, so to get to them you get to remove the left front
fender. Of course to do that you have to partially remove the front facia. To
do this you have to remove the hood. etc etc etc....
You may be better off with a squirt gun full of washer fluid until you have a
lot of spare time.
The lesson from this is that ANY TIME you remove the screws from the riv-
nuts, anywhere on the car, put some anti-sieze compound on the threads. This
coommonly happens to the access panels in the front lugage compartment since
the back sides of the riv-nuts are exposed to weather.

Ariel,
I'm not suprised you like the Scirrocco- it was actually penned by the
same man (Giorgietto Guigaro). The lines are very similar and I considered
buying one in addition to my DeLorean for a while as a daily driver.
Guigaro (in my opinion) was an extremely talented stylist of the time and
worked for prestigious design firms like Ghia, before starting Ital
designs. In addition to the Scirrocco and DeLorean, he did other excellent
cars like the Lotus Espirit, couple Maseratis (Bora and Merak I believe)
and even the BMW M1 (which a few of the initial DeLorean drawings
resembled). Truly an amazing designer in my opinion- anyone have any
websites on him??

Man, that would look pretty ugly, wouldn't it? purple.... The D already
draws huge amounts of attention being in the unique stainless steel finish.
In my opinion purple just isn't a nice color for cars in general.
Just my two cents.

OK I'll try to answer these one at a time,
1. (a)Has anyone ever had/ thought of having their engines chromed?
(b)Is this process even possible???
YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO CHROME ALMOST ANYTHING, AND IF DONT RIGHT LOOKS GOOD.
CHECK YOUR LOCAL HEMMINGS OR OTHER PUBLICATIONS AND LOOK AT THE PERSONS
PREVIOUS WORK. THEN DECIDE.

DONT KNOW, BUT DONT THINK DELOREAN MADE SPECIAL PACKS FOR THE MUFFLERS. AS FAR AS FLOWMASTERS GO, <AND THIS IS A PERSONAL OPINION, SO FLAME ME NOT THE LIST> I THINK THEY SOUND LIKE A WEEDEATER ON STERIODS GONE MAD AND THEREFORE THINK THEY

AGAIN A PERSONAL OPINION BUT I THINK THE ONLY REASON A DELOR SHOULD BE PAINTED IS IF IT HAS/HAD BODY DAMAGE. AND IF IT HAS/HAD BODY DAMAGE TO THE POINT IT NEEDED TO BE PAINTED, I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST TO PART THE CAR OUT AND LIST IT AS "
NO I NEVER SEEN A PURPLE DELOREAN BEFORE. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT PAINTING IT PRIVATELY EMAIL ME AND I WILL SEND YOU INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO IT <THEY COME FROM THE COMPANYS WHO WANTED TO PAINT THE DELOREAN WHILE IT WAS IN PRODUCTION>

Mr Copies,
The problem you are experiencing is due to the fact that the nut fasteners
have become detached from the fiberglass body. You will have to cut the
bolt heads of with a Dremel tool.

Just when you thought it was safe.....
ANOTHER question.
What am I doing wrong.
My windsheild washer pump burned out and am trying to access it for
replacement.
There are 6 or 8 small screws around the perimeter of the compartment that
attach it to the underside of the car. Every screw I put a socket on just
spins....doesn't come loose...doesn't tighten.
I've tried wd40, and penetrating oil...no luck. Any helpful hints?
P.S. I've tried secret passwords like @^%@#$^ and *(($#($*& ...but the
compartment refuses to budge.
No one ever told me owning a Delorean would be THIS much fun! :)
Thanks for any help.

Date: 15-Jun-99 21:22:31 -0400
Josh,
Your problem is in the fuel mixture adjustment or the fuel enrichment
circuit.
The golf tee in the access hole should be no problem, it is only an access
hole and anything that will seal the hole will do.
Don't bother checking the cold start valve it has nothing to do with engine
performance.
If you engine is running hot you still have air in the system or your
cooling fan circuit is not operating properly.

The DeLorean cooling system is unique in the fact that the system must be
bleed of trapped air in the cooling lines in order to operate properly.
Most mechanics are not familiar with this set up. They should know how the
air bleeding procedure before servicing the car.

Subject: [DML] Re: How do I test my lock module?
Date: 15-Jun-99 21:30:39 -0400
Mr Copies,
If you would like details on the factory lock module you cold contact us
directly for that information. We suggest that you get rid of the factory
unit. Even if you get it to work it will eventually burn your door
solenoids out, kill your battery, or even trap you inside the car.
If you want your central locking system to operate as it was designed you
will need to purchase the Lockzilla from PJ Grady.
The central locking system was standard equipment in all DeLorean's.

Subject: [DML] How do I test my lock module?
Date: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 3:02 AM
Hi Everyone!
Here's a quick power lock question I haven't been able to find in the
archives.
My central locking system doesn't work.
So here's what I've done....
I tested the solenoids and I can manually fire off each one (together) by
attaching a wire directly to the battery terminals and then touching the
solenoid connections.
In it's regular state...there doesn't seem to be any power going to the
system at all.
Solenoids, door contact switch etc....are all dead.
In the MAIN connection plug - My module connector only has 4 wires coming
out of it - should there be five or more??
My female connection switch has the bottom 4 holes filled - every other
hole is empty. I have the small plug that jets out of the main bundle
attached. When I opened the actual module (black box) there appears to be
some wires cut on each of the two relays (?), ....I'm almost afraid to ask
if this is standard. :)
The last owner of my Delorean told me that he had "remote" locks...but lost
the key transmitter... and now I'm wondering if he hacked into the factory
lock system to retrofit his.
Were remote locks standard in 83?...or is this some after-market ^$#*&$#^*.
He butchered the electrical system. I felt like Quincy tonight conducting
an autopsy.
Would the other relays in the system affect the lock module? I'm going to
replace the 8 common ones next weekend and was wondering if it would help.
Also...the lock module itself doesn't appear to have a fuse or
anything...am I missing something.
I appologize in advance if the questions are dumb.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!!

Date: 16-Jun-99 0:19:05 -0400
I saw a couple posts regarding John DeLorean. I was one of the three
DeLorean owners that met John DeLorean at his home here in NJ this past
Sunday. Let me say that Mr. DeLorean is a very personable gentleman. It was
a great thrill to meet him and to talk to him about my car. One of the owners
I went with knew an associate of John Delorean's so we were able to set up a
meeting in advance at his house through this associate of his. As most of
you Mr. Delorean is a private man these days. However he was gracious enough
to have us over to his estate after assurances it would only be a few of us.
We took three DeLorean's mine included. We met Mr. DeLorean and his
daughter. He signed some items that I had brought such as different dealer
brochures and his autobiography. In any case it was an extremely enjoyable
day. I have posted two picture that I took this past Sunday for those of you
that would like to see what Mr. Delorean looks like as well as a picture of
two of our cars in front of his house. My website home page address is
listed below and there is a link on it to another page which contains the
pictures.

Also, several of the threaded aluminum fasteners that the screws for this panel screw in to are gone. I can manufacture them but does anyone have an alternative (the entire panel was silicone sealed in place by previous owner!)?

Dear DML,
Hello, I have been subscribed to this mailing list for quite sometime
but I have never spoken on it. I am only 15 but I am a BIG enthusiast of
DeLoreans. Someday I hope to own one. Anyway, my Dad is a big car buff and he
has a collection of old car brochures. Well, I was looking through there and
I found something interesting. My dad works for Grumman Aerospace
Corporation. Now it is called Northrup Grumman because they got bought up and
they moved from Long Island to Florida. They had an old company newsletter
called THE PLANE NEWS. My Dad had an article on how Grumman had a deal with
DMC to manufacture the roof panels for the DMC-12. This was going to be
Grumman's first step into the auto industry. You guys probably all know about
this already but I haven't seen it on the list yet so I thought I should put
it on. I have the article scanned onto my webpage. It is on the bottom of the
page. I hope you guys like it.

There were many plans if JZD would have stayed in buisness.
The plans you are talking about were for a 4 door sedan featuring gull wing
doors. Can you imagine that?
Another creation was to be a metro bus created by DMC. If you check around
on the net you might be able to find a JPEG of what this bus would have
looked like. Somewhere out there you can find a pic with the name DELOREAN
edited over the real words on top of the bus.
He would have made great contributions to the automotive world. Many of his
past contributions are part of our everyday lives but we just dont realize
it.
I was on the bttf website a few days ago and there is an article about a
plastic sports car he wants to create. Its a shame he doesn't have the
financial ability to start up a company just like that.
He could make some drastic changes in our everyday car lives.
Just my two and a half cents,

That is not a Delorean lock module, but somebody's home-made replacement.
You're best bet is a lockzilla.

You can get the aluminum RivNuts, aka NutSerts, from the DMC suppliers for
about 50cents each. The really hard part is finding a metric installation tool
for them. If you're not a purist, convert to standard threads. The tool is available from bodyshop supply places.

Hi guys...
Really appreciate the help everyone's given me on the lock issue.
Brandon was great enough to send me a .jpg of his lock module...when I
compared it to mine it was quite different.
I have an 83 Delorean is this make a difference?
I've uploaded two shots of my lock module... could someone please take a
peek and let me know if they are salvagable (ie. reconnect cut wires
etc..).
The top and bottom of the module is at:

Although they were not involved in roof panels they were contracted to

bobbi,
Gracious. Impressive in a low keyed way. It was a once in a

met him.
For me, opportunity met preparedness and I met Mr. John Z. DeLorean.
I am very, very happy I did. I respect his privacy, please do also.
Any way, I'd be glad to tell you more about the experience, and I'd enjoy doing
it.
I don't type very fast so you'll have to call me. (203) 377-7551 @ home, after

I think Grumman made the torsion bars for the doors. The machine that
made the bars is "missing" I am told, and there is a limited number of
bars left..
Can your father find the machine?! :)

Does anyone have a plate that is already cut, that they don't need?
I know there are some modern radios that will fit without cutting, but I
don't like them.

We have been researching this subject for the last three years. We are
currently in the process of allowing information regarding Vin's to be
input at our web site. Currently our numbers indicate that between 2,500 to
2,000 cars are unaccounted for.
Knowing that it is virtually impossible to account for every Vin we are
working on an equation that could be applied to existing numbers in order
to come up with a close figure.

I was in search of R-12 replacements since the subject came up recently,
and have found what appears to be a drop-in replacement that can actually
be more efficient than R-12 called R-406A. It sounds pretty good from
their web site materials but I have no experience with it. You can see
what they say about it at their URL:

Suggestion: Buy a new plate and have that cut to fit your new radio, and
leave the one you have for the stock radio. When I put in my Alpine system,
the radio was not quite as wide as the Craig face plate, and I have a small
glue "scar" visible from the passenger side. It's the little things that
drive you crazy.

Not to disagree with you but we have never had a problem using the jack
points to raise the car. The best place to raise the car is at the areas
adjacent to the four tow hooks attached to the frame.

Subject: [DML] My DMC has gone
Date: 17-Jun-99 21:57:19 -0400
Hello DMLers,
Just a few words to say how I enjoyed owning my DMC-12
(car 004155) for the last 3 years.
It has gone now; it will begin its new carreer in an
automobile museum that will open in 2001 in the province
of Quebec (Canada). My (former) car won't be driven on
the road again. It will be the star of the museum.
However, I don't give up. Maybe I'll buy another one in
"the future...". I take this opportunity to thank everyone
who has been so useful on this mailing list (James and every
other owner-member) with their comments and help, and also
Rob Grady for his kind attention and availability.
I will continue to read the DML in order to keep contact with
a wonderful bunch of guys who appreciate such a special car.
Guy V. Boutet

Subject: [DML] Soon-to-be owner seeks opinions
Date: 17-Jun-99 20:58:42 -0700
Greetings everyone,
I've been a lurker on the list for around 2 years now, watching and
learning. I am finally ready, though, to break my silence and buy a D.
Anyway, I'm currently looking into a car in Las Vegas. Whatever car I
get, I will be driving it frequently. It will be a daily driver, in
fact. The D I'm looking at has 62k miles (verified to be actual
miles). Disregarding the plethora of other questions regarding the
car's condition, etc. which need to be asked, my question to all of you
is this:
Is it wise to buy a car with 62,000 miles on it? What kind of mileage
do you guys have on your cars? I've read of a couple of list members
with 200,000+ mile cars, but I'd like to know what the average DeLorean
owner has on his car and the extent of the car's reliability beyond the
big 100k.
Also, does anyone live in Las Vegas that would be willing to be my eyes
and examine the car? (I know it's a lot to ask) Or, does anyone know of
a shop in Vegas that has experience working on the D that I could have
the car inspected at?
I'd like to thank everyone in advance for their help, regarding both
this matter and any future questions I may have. After witnessing the
support this group provides each other over the last two years, I know
for a fact that you are all awesome and I look forward to joining the
group as an owner.
I'm not sure what kind of worth this thread would provide to the group
as a whole, so feel free to email me privately.
Thanks,
Ryan McCaffrey
Mesa, Arizona

I thought that the following tale may be of some interest to the list:

he had found a document about a year prior to that that he had forgotten

could rap with a rubber mallet and cause both doors to fly open. He
said that it had been required that such a feature be added to prevent
one from becoming trapped in the event of an accident.
He's supposed to look for it, and told me to check back with him in a

the D was upside down (in the event of a crash), the doors couldn't open

Ryan,
IMO a car with 62k would be a good car to buy. It probably has all the
updates and the bugs should be worked out. I have a D w/ 101,000 miles and
use it as a daily driver. However, I have a back up just in case something
goes wrong ('95 T/A that has come in handy) The best advice I can give is
to do all the work on the D yourself. Don't take it to the local garages.
(However, if you have a prob and can send it to a DeLorean service center
that's completely different.) The D is an easy car to work on (I'm not a
mechanic by any means so if I can work on it , anyone can) and I've found
LOTS of things wrong with my D that was caused by 'local shops'. (No flames
please! I know that there are some good 'local shops' out there, I just
can't seem to find one in my area) Besides no one will take care of your
car like yourself. After I started fixing things myself, I haven't had any
serious problems out of my D and it has become very dependable. ( I should
also pay homage to Scott Mueller for his help with my car as well) The
DeLorean has a large support group and if you have any problems, chances
are, someone has had the same ones and can lead you in the right direction.
Hope this helps,
Duke

Would this design lend itself to being fabricated with Stainless
Steel?? It would be a nice touch to have some Stainless inside the
car. Could you send me the design, and maybe I can find someone to make
it a few (if anyone else is interested).

Steve,
No mystery, here. He is talking about the inertia (impact) switch. The
switch which is common to all cars with electric fuel pumps is designed to
cut power to the fuel pump and unlock the doors in the event of an
accident. The rubber mallet will only work on cars with defective switches.
BTW the doors will not fly open, they'll just unlock.

This isn't entirely true. The DeLorean's doors can be opened enough if it's
on its top so that a passenger can escape. This is discussed in Popular
Science's evaluation of the car in a 1981 issue. I can't remember the exact
month. According to PS, the door and ground act as a lever and fulcrum
allowing an average person to open the door to escape in the event of a roll
over crash.

Date: 18-Jun-99 21:18:51 -0500
The design utilized a "stock" panel. The basic crux of the mod is the
reinforcement panel. In order to install a DIN type unit, you have to machine a
nice neat square opening for it. This is particularly difficult in that you have
to remove most of the panel between the radio and the AC louvers. This strip is
so thin that even if you were able to keep from cutting all the way through, the
piece left between the louvers and the radio is so flimsy, it gives no support to
the top of the radio or the bottom of the louvers. This mod includes a support
design that can be screwed/pop riveted to the dash panel and incorporates
machined openings for the bottom tabs of the ac louvers.
I considered making a drop in replacement with the openings cut and reinforced
for radio conversions. Believe it or not, stainless steel would have been the
least expensive, but an "original" style black, even in quantities of 100 would
have to sell for at least $250.00 each. You can probably buy a modified one
complete with radio from steve wynne for a much better price.

As part of the design of the DeLorean doors a person of average build

As far as the doors not being able to open when the DeLorean is overturned,
just look at the picture of the D overturned by the MSU rioters on my
website. (http://members.xoom.com/PipelineRecs/dmchome.html) The doors look
like limp wings of a dead bird. At least it proves that the doors CAN open
when the car is overturned, even if its just a little bit.
Just my two cents,
Justin

QUESTION: Is this only when the ignition is on? I hate to think that
someone could jar or hit my car and the doors would just unlock. I realize
that it have to be a significant impact to trip the inertia switch, but
nonetheless could it happen?
