Re: Pictures of the European meetings You're funny! I've never found a road in the US coming close to European roads. I'd never take my Ty beyond 130 mls on the crappy roads here but took it almost daily up to these speeds while the truck resided in Germany (fun to scare people with a brick)...

Re: Upper and lower ball joints Great - Will give you a call Friday. You are still at the same place? M@

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up) I also went with the blue ones from superbrightleds. For instruments they are OK but the 1157 style for the tail lights or turn signals are not to recommend (at least IMO). See pictures of my shifter, the gages (VDO black) and the LED's...

Re: anyone used an H3 bulb to replace backup lights? Get the 50 W direct drop in replacements. Do NOT drive too long backwards (heat). I have one "beep-beep" 50 W in the garage, swing by, it's a truck man though not a big rig :-)

Re: A/C R12 retrofit @sytyguy Any online sources or just go to an A/C shop or parts store? My compressor is leaking at the bearing and a new one is already sitting in the garage BUT I don't want to hassle with the expensive R12 anymore. @666 Sothis 666 Do they also evacuate and refill with the...

Re: Oil pressure gauge spun around @666 Sothis 666 Finally it hit you too - LOL Just turn it back, if you want remove the needle stop at the bottom; pull it simply out, you don't need. Or break a small pin, take a lighter and heat it up and CAREFULLY put it as needle stop on top (worked for me...
