Thanks for that on a Sunday
morning....
Hopefully my cheque arrived on Dave's
door step the same time as the part arrived here. I posted it within the hour of
speaking to him.
I will be out in mine later, sweetly
shifting around the gears...
Cheers Paul

Paul,
I'm glad Dave sorted you out pretty quick, he
does do if he's got the bits to hand, and if works not too pressing! Iknow
he sometimes forgets things when he's very busy, I have always ended up
with what I needed eventually. Both Dave and I spend a fortune
on parts when they "pop up". Dave recently spent over 7K just on body
panels, which will take YEARS to get his money back, earlier, I did the
same with seat covers, after 2 years I have recovered about 15 % of my
outlay. I'm not too fussed because I know in the fullness of time, these
parts will be highly prized, when our cars are worth 25K
upwards.....
Another reason that sometimes annoys both me and Daveis
when one is "taken advantage off" , some one contacts you, "all in a rush",
I MUST HAVE THIS BIT by tomorrow morning, we oblige, and then it
takes weeks, sometimes months to get the money! Sometimes the money never
does come!! Not good. We rely on trust and helpfulness in a small club,
occasionally its gets forgotten or abused. Anyway, that's my Sunday
sermon over. Who's DeLorean's going for a drive today?

Well after
putting up with a dodgy gear shift mechanism for the last year I finally
decided to do something about it.
The problem was the in no way shape
or form would my gearstick lift to go into reverse, and the pin was missing
to stop you accidentally going into reverse when shifting 1st to
2nd.
I priced up a new mechanism with the US vendors $354.
ouch....
On the phone to Dave Howarth the other night and my problem
came up in conversation. To which Dave replies I got one of those in the
garage. Good price.. So I asked him to send it.
9:30 this morning it
arrived, 9:45 I decided to tackle the job. 10:30 job done.
I
can now happily shift from 1st to 2nd without fear destroying my
gearbox catching reverse at 25mph.
Once again a part easily sourced
in GB
