I get an occasional squeak out of my brakes after repacking the wheel bearings. I replaced the shims the way they came out. I bought a set of Turner brakes for it but don’t have them installed, hoping that will alleviate the noise. Mike

Thanks Grant, sounds like a procedure. Coffee always helps! Mike

According to the AOAI Membership Roster, there are 116 owners in Florida, 36 in Georgia, 39 in North Carolina, and 24 in South Carolina. Wishing the best to all the folks in those states. Mike

And how are our Florida members doing after last night? Mike

Grant, thanks for the info. So did your car already have the 1” swaybar and you are just replacing the bushings? I’m going from the stock 3/4” to 7/8” front on my 83. I know the new bushings are tight but haven’t tried gooping them up. Anyone have any experiences or thoughts on going with bigger bars? Mike

Grant, have you reinstalled your swaybar, and how big of a battle was that? I have a new 7/8” for the front of mine, and my new bushings need to be opened up also. Mike

I’m 6’5” with size 14 feet and in 73 I drove my 64 Daytona R1 4spd from Spokane to Portland and back in one day, over 600 miles, and I don’t remember any issue with the pedal placement. And, there were four of us in the car! Wish I knew what happened to that car. Mike

Sure like to think it was one of the first three, but……

Beautiful Stefan. Interesting rear view mirror, haven’t seen one like that. Mike

Dan Booth at Nostalgic has info on sealing the windshield, you might give him a call. Mike

Just out of curiosity, are there any three speed manuals out there?

Well there may be someone somewhere who knows but apparently they aren’t on this forum. Mike

I have a set of black 25th anniversary dash pieces for my 83. The instrument panel is flat and needs to be bent. Something one needs to get right the first time! Mike

And how did you get the bends in the dash panel? Or did you cut them and glue them?

Sorry, I don’t remember the brand. Think I got them off Amazon a few years ago. Seems like there are lots of choices at Amazon and even auto parts stores. Kind of a trial and error thing. Maybe someone recently replaced their bulbs without radio issues and flasher issues that can weigh in. Mike
