Garage / Re: Brake switch PSI ?
« Last post by BDA on Today at 11:50:18 AM »I had to change mine (from the original) but it's been a while so I'm not positive the failure mode. I think the brake lights would fail to come on. If I remember correctly, you could be experiencing the same thing. I just get a new one (3/8 - 24 thread) from any parts place and my brake lights work now.

« Last post by Chuck Nukem on Today at 11:36:44 AM »Nicely done!
What was the final weight savings on the doors?
Tom
We are still working on the molds. These are just pictures I found of a TC wearing S1 doors to show the difference. Without glass and window motors I am expecting at least 30-40 lbs? It will be fun to see. I think we are probably a month away from pulling parts.

Garage / Brake switch PSI ?
« Last post by Clifton on Today at 11:32:21 AM »Has anyone dealt with a brake pressure switch that took too much pedal pressure to close the contacts? A casual stop is not enough on mine.
I can't find at what pressure these close at. I ordered a new one today and I will bench test both but I'm curious if this is common when they fail or do the just not work when they fail.

« Last post by Richard48Y on Today at 09:57:33 AM »Good that it is so far away or I would probably be trying to buy it.
My car was presented as nearly a runner but I've had to take it down the frame, then rebuild the frame too.
I am having to go through nearly everything so really not much less work than this one, but I paid a lot more for the privilege.

« Last post by BDA on Today at 09:22:26 AM »It's sad that cars end up in that shape! At $2000, it is probably decent but the shape of the frame and the tranny are unknown and EVERYTHING has to be rebuilt and there will be a LOT of parts to buy. I hope he sells it. It's sad that this is precipitated by his uncle's passing.

« Last post by FourLoti on Today at 07:05:39 AM »I don't need another Europa, but this one is growing on me as a project. And I think what he did with the dash to get it drivable is actually pretty creative. Now I want a starter button, volt meter and fuel ratio gauge on my car. Oh - and don't forget the digital "clock" on the left! But, alas, no ashtray :'(
