Re: [DML] New DeLorean Parts (TAB's specifically)

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Martin - During my activities changing out TAB's and generally 
checking the condition of other people's suspensions, I have run 
across some cars that seem to be more "accurately made" than others. 
In checking TAB's in these cars, the bolts slid easily out, with no 
apparent preloads or misalignments. There was very little evidence of 
wear or distress on the bolts, or on the other components in the 
joint. The owners of these few cars wanted new TAB's anyway, but I 
was struck by the easy removal and installation of the bolts. By 
contrast, other cars required a large hammer, pry bars, and a certain 
amount of swearing and cursing to get the old bolts out, and the new 
bolts went in with some minor degree of difficulty. As is the case 
with all of these beautiful cars, there is a large variation in how 
they were put together. You obviously have one of these rare gems 
that were assembled correctly and accurately. Hang on to her. Alas, 
I will not be in Memphis for the "Big Show". Timing was very bad for 
me this year, so I have asked some of my fellow PNDC members who will 
be there to take lots of pictures, and give the rest of us a full 
report. Thanks for your continued interest in supporting this unique 
automobile.

My position is simply based on having a low mileage car with 
suspension components in 99% condition. My TABs are not rusty, nor 
bent, and are torqued properly.
