Newer ceramic fuses have better metal tips/ends on them. The older original fuses the factory used may have the older lead or tin plating on the...
One must also be careful about some higher octane gas being sold by some service stations. Some retailers may use a shortcut to boost octane of...
I wonder if the electro charged paint application works on the carbon parts?
The TdeF looks great, but the 40 coats of clear take away from the factory original look. My old SWB (2177) had a somewhat lesser shine when I...
In the 70's Harley Cluxton's Mirage team had Sam and Vern on the Mirage team. [ATTACH]
Try Bill Young at GT Parts, I think I saw one a while ago when I was there.
One observation that I would like to add regarding the fleck inclusion in the floor coating, it does make finding small items on the floor...
An interesting pair of books by Michael Frostick covers many of the Ferrari specials that Pininfarina created not only for Ferrari , but other...
On the earlier V12 engines especially the inside plug engines I solder the center wire to the plug connector. Since there is a tendency for...
Dyke, thanks for clearing that TdF up for me. What else was I associating with the Marchal guys car there? We once had all the Marchal records...
Marcel, during my visit a long time ago I recall a nice TdeF that a museum worker kindly open the hood for me, and as I recall the engine was a...
Not able to do a diagram, but my previous note described the connection process. To give the electron path: the positive from the switch flows to...
MR751 diodes are more than capable of doing the job, and are easily available on eBay.
To be more circuit specific, the diode blocks the positive applied to the motor and thus does nothing to that leg of the circuit. Then the diode...
A diode blocks with positive on the cathode, and conducts with negative on the anode.
No need to gain access to the switches, just the motor in the door. Connect the cathode (stripe) end of one MR751 diode to each of the motor...
A fly back diode could be a good idea, but the 2 diodes solution was a fix for burnt switch contacts. Both the relay solution or the diode...
One other point, charge voltage with the engine running should be 14.2V or so. This will also help the windows run a little better. Voltage drops...
The switch damages easily by the inductive kick back on the negative terminal of the switch, and causes the circuit to become open. Yes, the diode...
On the 250 series cars I have epoxied a 1 inch long brass tube inside the outlet in the wing nut and use a standard 1/8 inch hose to run to a...
