Subject: Re: Boston area service
Hello Tyler,
You're in luck... The shop that has done a few repairs on my Delorean for
me, as well as it's previous owner is in Hopkinton - just a stone's throw
from Framingham. They also claim to service "two or three" other Deloreans
in the area, so they are quite familiar with the car. The previous owner of
#1619 swore by this shop and trusted them to repair all his vehicles. I've
been there a few times, and they are a clean, honest, and good family
operation. The name is: Lumber Street Auto Repair, 26 Lumber St, Hopkinton
MA 01748. 508-435-4046. Ask for Phil (the owner), and tell them Hank
referred you. I'm in Brookline, so the only problem I have is getting there
and back when my car needs work - I usually just wait there, since it's too
far to go home and back.
-Hank #1619

The hood with gas flap was used until Aug 81. The highest vin number i have
seen with a gas flap was 3003. There was a very nice car on Ebay a while
ago, i think the vin was 3202, which did not have the flap. I believe a guy
on the list owns 3202.

Subject: Schematics needed for mirror switch and mirror motors..
Hello All,
I'm attempting to repair my mirror switch, but since many of the smallest
parts are missing, I can't seem to reverse engineer how the switch itself
works. I have the workshop manual with the circuit wiring diagram, but that
neither explains how the switch itself works, nor the workings/schematic of
the motors themselves. There are four wires going into the motors, but no
explanation which wire is for which motor (up/down or left/right) or
polarity. Any assistance or even simple explanation of how a working switch
operates would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I was told that my car needs a new "Warm Up Regulator" Is this the same as
an Idle Speed Regulator?
What is involved with replacing this unit? It is as simple as replacing the
part (I'm sure the answer to that will be "No")
What else needs to be done when you replace this unit? What else needs to
be tweaked/tuned upon it being replaced?

Hank,
Good luck on your switch repair project. Keep in mind that this item is considered as non-serviceable. In any event here is some of the information you are looking for.
Wire Color Code
MIRROR MOTOR LH
WN: LEFT
WP: UP
WG: DOWN
W: RIGHT
MIRROR MOTOR RH
WN: LEFT
WP: UP
WU: DOWN
WR: RIGHT
All of the above contacts are 12 Volt +
CAUTION: Keep in mind that in some cases the wire color code between the switch and connector harness are different.
NOTE: We consider this item as non-serviceable; the switch will become unusable as designed if dissembled

Subject: Stainless Treatment
I guarantee you're going to hate this.
In my other life, the vans tended to pick up all sorts of road garbage
on the back doors during a long trip. In experimenting with everything
I had on hand I tried Dexron ATF, knowing it contains a detergent.
Don't you know, that worked great. I then started using it to clean all
the grease and gunk from my engine compartment, that worked great too..
We now cut to the D. I keep it covered but 4 adventurous cats manage to
get under the cover and match each other for greatest number of paw
prints. Every time I uncover I have to clean it all off. Started using
good old ATF, works just great. Easy to apply, leaves a deep down shine
and easy to wipe off next time. I use it on the louvers and other
plastic as well, looks great and gets a lot of compliments.
Now, before you go crazy, yes it does pick up dust, it would anyway,
it's just easier to keep looking good this way.
Don't just theorize, try it on a small panel and compare. Wipe on
enough to clean the panel then wipe it as dry as you can and compare
with the rest of the car.

James look at my stripes on Tuesday, it is a daily driver and the stripes

Subject: Re: Warm-up Regulator?
Kevin,
The Warm Up Regulator, aka Control Pressure Regulator, is one of the easiest
parts to replace on the engine. Located on the left valve cover it is attached
with two socket head bolts. Label all of the hoses first and then remove them.
CAUTION: The two gas lines on top of the regulator will be under pressure. Use
some method to contain the small amount of gas that will leak out when you
loosen the bolts. It is advisable to keep a fire extinguisher handy when
breaking open the fuel system. Remove the two bolts holding the Warm Up
Regulator to the valve cover and lift off. Assemble the new regulator and hoses.
Make sure to use new copper washers on the fuel hoses on top. There are no other
adjustments required.
The "Idle Speed Regulator" is the black cylinder about the size of a frozen
orange juice can on the left top side of the engine.

in general, that's really a matter of opinion. personally, i think the side
stripes make the car look more 80's if you know what i mean. kind of dated.

That's really funny because i called Crutchfield a few months ago asking if
they had anything DeLorean-specific, especially a mounting kit, and the guy
goes, 'ha! DeLorean! we don't have that stuff!' and he hung up on me. never
called them again!

Subject: STAINLESS STEEL FASHAS...
Here it is in a nut shell...
There is a customer of ours that specializes in custom fabrications. I asked him if he could reproduce the front and rear fashas in stainless for me. He came over and looked at the car Saturday and said it wouldn't be a problem but the cost would be significant. I asked him if I could get a few more people interested, could he lower the costs. He told me that if I could get at least 5 more people interested, me could get me a reasonable price for this hand crafted job. They wouldn't be exact to the origionals, but they would continue the natural lines of the car! If you are interested in how much they would be, drop me a note @ skipper@xxxxxxxxxxx .

Subject: Luggage area re-paint
What would be the best paint to use if I wanted to freshen up the front
luggage area under the bonnet? It's looking a bit mottled from release
agents used in making it (I assume). Would Krylon work? I want it to
look uniform in the entire compartment.
Thanks

Subject: Fuel Pump Head diff banjo
Group, I posted on the site the two differences in the puel pumps
heads and also a problem you may encounter when changing from the
long neck to the 957 with new check valve. You can see on my site:

Thanks to DMC Joe for thinking of this and letting me know.
