DMCH has them. At least they did. I am sure I remember seeing it on 
their web site.

Has anyone run across either a universal dead pedal or one made
specifically
for the Delorean? Has anyone found one that is close enough to be easily
modified to fit?
Thanks,
Jim 6147

Subject: Re: Steering rack stiction

I have never liked the open hole behind the fans that blows directly 
on the rack. I have had for many years a deflector I got from 
Bauerele Automotive in Radnor, Ohio - 740 595-3348. I trimmed it to 
suit me, but it covers the hole nicely and keeps the blowing heat 
and crud off the rack. It deflects a lot of heat away from the fuel 
tank too. I also serviced the rack with full synthetic oil (75w-90) 
which seems to have done the most to ease the steering effort.

of my driving with the air on. It seems when the car is cool, the 
steering performs flawlessly, but as it reaches operating temp on 80 
degree days, the steering rack seems to heat up from the radiator 
and begins to exhibit stiction. The wheel sticks where ever you tend 
to put. I've pulled the pinion cap and loosened the spring tension 
on the nylon slider by adding 2 custom paper gaskets to raise the 
pinion cover, but it only delays the effect and makes the steering a 
little looser when cold. It's been topped off with 90wt gear oil. 
Any one else experience this feature? Any suggestions.
