Me too…! About a month after I acquired my Dino #4486 in October 2022, the cable broke just down the hill from my home. I tied a nylon string to...
Got a similar pic of the gear next to the post. That confirms it’s definitely crank #1 [ATTACH]
Great pic! Shows the gear well. I see the same central post but I’ll try to look into the hole to see the gear on the side. I think that...
Yes I feel a mechanical part on the 10AM location next to the post (passenger door). Can't be sure that's a gear drive.
This may be an easy one but thought I'd check here to make sure. I am completing my tool kit for my Dino (#4486) that has power windows. There is...
Hey thanks for pointing that out. I was unaware that this piece existed. Now do I buy the assembly just for that plastic disc? Now that I know it...
I didn't add a plastic disc but actually unsure where or why this is needed. What rivet? Can you elaborate? Is it about the latch or something else?
Wow! Congrats on being the original owner and not selling the car at some point like so many have done. Hope you’ll reconsider on the 1 cents...
I think you touched on the key issue that has been mischaracterized as "being mad". One user gets on here and disparages the various approaches,...
I agree. To me the spacer was as easy and I preferred not to modify the latch in any way. The rubber does seem to put way too much pressure before...
I agree I agree! This thread was highjacked after real solutions were summarized as you listed. Many ways to fix it. Mine was another I felt I...
My interest was purely academic and at this point exhausted. I am not prepared to spend any more thought on an undisclosed approach that promises...
Spectacular. Us mere mortals, the regular Dino owners could never hope to understand this brilliance. It’s just so beyond us that it must remain a...
A mystery indeed. From the description of the repair being done without anything that would be additive, I can only conclude that a better epoxy...
Yes, I guess I missed a few. There’s 2a and 2B depending on whether you thin the latch or the plastic plate. A #5 for keeping the latch open,...
There are a few ways to approach the side latch issue and I applaud all that try to correct this design issue: 1. Put the side latches in...
I couldn’t help reading this as Anton Ego, the critic in Ratatouille.
I guess it’s all about what you care about and hold dear. To me, grinding original parts is the awful solution - and you still have to bond the...
Sounds like you put in your time in this area as well. I see you had issues despite having a similar setup using a separate ignition drive...
I’ve tried MSD on a 427 Cobra replica I had for a while and I was very happy with it. The install was in the mid 90’s. I now feel that this is...
