Re: shipping frustration

Re: headers vs duals
I put a set of Reds on my 41. Fitted nicely, but make sure you know if you have forward control rods (?) or not, as they will be in the way if you order the wrong set.
Red's can supply the entire...

Re: lowering a '41
Get the rear spring reset (and reversed eyes) to the height you want. You can take leafs out of the spring, but I like the stock ride.
A lotta folks will tell you longer shackles will lower the...

Re: Length Limit for Priority Mail Shipping
It's not about the weight it could have carried, but the space it takes up.
In Australia, bulky items are assessed to have a notional density of 250kg/cubic metre. Similar processes in the US.

Re: Length Limit for Priority Mail Shipping
Part of the delay comes from less passenger flights. Less flights to uplift parcels, more via other means (surface).
UPS and Fedex aren't so affected as they run their own airfreight.

Re: Changeing water temp sensor question

Re: Convex mirror
Ditto. I put them on the 41 so I could see around the car when the top was up (with the small back window).

Re: '41 - '48 Convertible door garnish
