PS I've had a 'cooling fan fail' warning light up for some time, but the
fans have been working. Now they are not. What's the best thing to check-
this Hotterstat thing? (seems aptly named) 
yours with water all over the road T.

Subject: [doc] Inconel Trailing arm bolts

Hi Everyone

I have a limited supply (10 pairs) of all new Inconel718 trailing arm 
bolts. Custom made for us, these bolts are identical to the Toby Tabs, 
made of the same stuff and with rolled threads. The difference is that 
these have the correct length shank requiring no additional washers, and 
a 19mm hex head with standard M12 thread, as per OEM bolts. The only 
difference is they are anodised black.

I will supply a pair of bolts with locknut and nylock nut each for £40 
incl P+P.

For those who don't know the score: The DeLorean has two critical bolts 
in the rear suspension which take all the thrust and drag of the back 
wheels. The original bolts are too weak (in a bizarrely designed 
single-shear application) and are prone to rust. A bent bolt will throw 
your rear wheel alignment out, and a loose bolt will make the back end 
squirrelly.

A broken bolt will cause a crash.

These bolts are made from an exotic alloy called Inconel 718 which is 
more than twice as strong as the original high tensile steel ones, and 
impervious to corrosion. You can read all about the engineering in the 
tech section at www.dmcnews.com

Oh, I'm having the first pair, so we're down to 9 pairs, first come, 
first served.
