Re: [DML] WAS - Replacement Antenna? - now Battery & tires

[john turner <jmturner8723@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the information.  Yes, I figured out the electric system has challenges.  As soon as the car came off the transport truck I needed at least a new battery. 

I am wanting to get a complete restoration of this car.  I was thinking of using DMC Houston.  Has anyone out there had any experience with using them for a  restoration?

Run yourself over to Sams Club and order BF Goodrich Radial TA
235-60-r15 for the rear and Goodrich Traction TA 195 60 14 for the
front. Good price, free road hazard warranty, etc. I'm happy with
both sets (2 cars).

A god quality battery is easy to find - look for a group 78 battery at
Sams or your favorite retailer. I have one interstate battery and one
of the more expensive red top batteries, both are fine. Do note however
that the '81s (mostly?) came with 80amp ducillier alternators that were
marginal 25 years ago. The Motorola used in the 82s and 83s was better,
but all the major vendors now sell much better alternators. Make sure
your problem is the battery, not the alternator. There are also
electrical problems related to bad ground and battery cable connections
you will want to look at....

Keep the questions coming.

I just bought an '81 DeLorean. I'm wanting to buy new tires for it. what
were the original tires? are they still made? if not, does anyone have a
suggestion for what to put on the car? I also need a new battery, any
suggestions on that too?

Is "LN46" code for "Delorean antenna"? I've got one of them old 
motorized antennas kicking around.
