  1. When my A II starts getting warm, I pop the hood, driving or not, an it allows enough extra air flow to cool it down a bit. It's not a pretty solution, but easy and quick when needed:
  2. I understand. I'm a Luddite that didn't know there were [laces that could print stuff for you.
  3. Much as I disdain the cupholder as a measure of quality, tell me more about yours! The rest of teh interior is fantastic as well!
  4. That's really nice! Many of us don't have the need for a 3D printer, so you might be able to help offset your expenses with selling repros. ( and no, mine are OK right now)
  5. I have tried grounding it to the other tail light, which works normally, but no change. Bez also indicates that the grounds end up in that general location. I don't think I had this problem before I had some front paint work done, but will check my grounds there. The odd thing is that If I move the rear socket around, all is OK.. for a little while. And it only happens with teh headlights on.
  6. My Champ and Larks have those, but they are too big to fit well in the Avanti
  7. Thanks. The fact that the left one lit up may have something to do with the bad ground on my right tail light too.
  8. Where is it? My right tail light acts up whenever the headlights are on. My first step is ground checks, but where does the white ground lead? It goes up into the body, but I have no idea where it exits and grounds. Thanks!
  9. I know I asked about the light between the tach and speedometer, and have forgotten already. On top of that, I noticed two that I had missed before, because one lit up. These are on the console,over the heat and vent controls. What are they?
  10. I'm going to cross post this between the '63-'64 and the '65-83 groups because it should be the same. I'm not sure about Blake Avantis... I'd like to have visors that will swing to cover the door glass when the sun is low and to the side. I started by removing the inner visor mount, but in swinging it from front to side, the outer screw loosens. On top of that, the visor is not wide enough to provide that much shading. Then I tried to fit some from a Jetta, but they require a deep hole in the header to fit, and I don't think I have enough depth for that. Has anyone figured out another visor that fits?

  12. That's a nice looking car. I'm sorry you have to let it go. Consider selling on BringATrailer.com. I've done well there, and the costs are reasonable.
  13. Yeah, OK, I thought I was smart enough to figure it out with the above diagrams and a VOM, but I'm not. can anyone take a picture please or maybe make a crayon drawing? Thanks
  14. That second diagram is what I needed. I had the first. I'll still need to use a VOM to figure out which tab is which, but with that, I can do it. Thank you!
  15. I have the wiring diagrams (such as they are) for my 1980 and want to reinstall my antenna switch after finding a functional mismatch between the antenna wire on my new headset and the antenna. The problem is that the pin-out on the switch is 3 x 3, and the diagram makes no distinction to how the wires are oriented, so there are four possible combinations. I'ce already blown two fuses trying to figure it out and am down to my last one. Pin numbers on the switch are faint, but legible. Can anyone help me figure out which wore fits where? Thanks!
