Re: Need a Soft Fabric Style Dash Cover
As Ken duly noted, there's not a lot of options that will look good, I for instance have protected my dash with a custom fit carpet cover, which is not elegant at all and comes out for shows and whatnot :-" And as you duly noted, there are plastic covers that can be bonded over your existing da...

Re: How to refinish this type of bench top...
Thanks gents :wink: This bench top was already existing, and it will likely get more abuse, no projects currently lined up but something will come up sooner than later :roll: The lighting I added was also LED, kitchen under cabinet type, in addition to the fluorescent one I installed years ago :-&qu...

Re: Gauge question
Bert, presuming that your '81 has series 1 gauges, I have some input regarding this exchange 8) I installed a Euro 70 Liter fuel level gauge in mine and when full it doesn't go all the way to indicate full (70L) which I presume is due to the difference in the fuel tank capacity, which is larger in t...

Re: 1980 Power Steering - is mine working correctly?
So you're saying that it just requires more effort to turn the steering wheel than you are expecting, based on other models :-k Hard to say that there's anything actually "wrong" with your PS system, but you may want to service the hydraulics, here's a thread that shows what I did, and how...

Re: No Power, Running Super Rich
Just for clarification, my '80 has an O2 sensor, first year as this was also the first year for the cat
Wish I had some input regarding your problem, but I'll keep thinking about what could cause this issue
I've never had to deal with this type of problem

Re: Thoughts about 225/45/17's
How wide are the wheels
Typically, 235/45 x 17" would be about the right outside diameter as original, so 225/45's would be a bit short as far as the OD would be concerned
But you do need to match the tire width with the wheel width as well

Re: Alarm advice
How about some pix of the connections
Obviously hard to diagnose, and you're looking at it, we aren't
I have an aftermarket keyless lock setup and the wiring under the dash is a nightmare

Re: LED lighting "upgrade"
Good point Ken, better grounding was part of the many conversations, with both Klaus and Tommy :-k But the other issue that Klaus pointed out was that the LEDs should be colored to match, either amber or red in this case, and these are all white [-( I'm just gonna leave things as they are for now, w...

Re: Sport Seat Rails / Tracks - $150
OK, let's review :wink: Ralph, if I read your response correctly, I can use these, and they will also lower my seat height, which is something that I wanted to do for quite a while :-" In fact, I was considering custom made flat rails, as I would also like to see if it's possible to make it so ...

My drivers side won't tilt forward, had the seat out once but wasn't able to figure out why
Dale, I wouldn't need both, but if I can't figure mine out, I may be in touch

Interesting that it has "55" at 90 KPH

Depends
Euro models work with the driver's door open without the key in the ignition, but I'm not sure about UK versions
So just open your driver's door and give it a whirl
