Oil Change by
Bill Berckman
Changed the oil on the 67 today. Was detirmined that not one of the 6 nuts was
going to fall into the drained oil as per usual this time. Not one of them
did, but when tightening them back up, I dropped the ratchet and socket in the
oil. Oh well maybe next time. :o)

After Market bumpers rust like mad!! by
Joe Cali Next Generation-usa
I replaced my 74 bumpers with what is called triple chrome plated at
extra cost. Left out in the rain they started to rust. You must keep
several coats of wax on the bumpers. The bottoms where I did not wax
is now completely rusted. Just a warning. If you can get a good set
of original bumpers....

Starvin' for gas ? by
J Blair
Boys and girls, I am losing my mind over this problem and I hope that
the collected wisdom here will help save what shred of sanity I have
left. In a nutshell, when the engine is cold it runs fine, when it is
warm it idles fine, when I take it on the street it bucks and stalls
after about 5...

struggling with brakes... by
bug '59
Hi Ramva,
I've completed renewing the brake-lines and cillinders on my brothers 1302.
All things are changed exept the cillinders in the back, ('cause i didn't

The reason for a complete change is due to spongy brakes.... which still
are!!!!
