[Passenger side water leak]

After the monsoon in Carlisle I found the passenger side carpet was damp.  

I have the inner fender out and there are two smaller gaps in the seam sealer and the fan had little sealant around it.

Also, I didn’t drive the car so the rain entered while the car was sitting still.

Any known leak areas I should be looking at?  
Thanks

I made the mistake of looking at the 10 day weather forecast....

Me too.  Pretending like I didn’t.

Just 9 days out, looking forward to getting together again and hitting Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.

After being disappointed in AC Delco and RedTop, I started buying batteries at Advance Autoparts and keep them on a Battery Tender.

[1-1/8 Sway Bar Bushings?]

The moog 5253's state 1" and above and that is what is installed on the car now since late May when I painted the bar currently on the car.   If they truly are 1" and above then I may be able to reuse them since they've only been on the car for a few weeks.

[1-1/8 Sway Bar Bushings?]

thanks guys, I will take a look.

Would anyone happen to have a part number for a bushing that definitely fits this sway bar with stock brackets.

Great friends, hotel, restaurants, laughs, ice cream, and 7-8000 cars!!  You won't be disappointed.

Well said all.   Great time, great people, and, as Rob says, the beautiful cars are a bonus.   I'm looking forward to the Syracuse mini-meet in a few weeks and then being back in Carlisle next year.

The more we order, the less likely we will need them.

Willie asked me about car covers the other day, the cheap plastic disposable kind with elastic on the bottom. As we were talking, I looked online and found some on Amazon, basically like a big shower cap (or car condom).

So, FWIW, below is a link to them, and Amazon had them to my house the next day (Willie & I are going to split the box of 4). Actually, I just ordered another box minutes ago to be safe, and again, they'll be here tomorrow.

They say there's only 10 left in stock, so hurry if you think you may want some.

The reviews aren't the greatest, but keep in mind what you're buying here.... it's just a cheap, disposable rain cover, not going to be used for winter storage.

 

8 left, thanks Joe

I have to say with great sadness I am not able to make this trip to Carlisle this year due to physical limitations from this back injury, I have had to cancel 3 trips so far and am really bummed out about it. I have notified the club officers. Hopefully I'll see some of you at Syracuse, at this time I'm hoping that I'll be able to make that one either with or without my camper. I'd like to say thank you to a few members that have reached out with words of encouragement and kindness.  I love this club! Guess I'll start planning next year. Hope everyone has a great time and safe travels. 

Sorry to hear that Steve,  hope your back heals up and we see you in Syracuse.

I know from experience that Old Air Products stand behind their products. I wouldn't buy from anyone else. Not that other companies don't as well, but I have nothing but positive interactions with OAP. 

Good to know.   Part is on the way. 

[AC Compressor Recommendations Needed]

Since the existing a6 does not have the switch for super heat, looks like I can go with the HP version.     Thanks Joe and Larry for the help, much appreciated.

You know how them forums are though, full of all sorts of questionable information (mis-info )

😉

I spoke to sales at Old Air.  I asked them which I compressor I would need for a stock AC car, the super heat or high pressure versions, and the guy said I could use either one.   

[AC Compressor Recommendations Needed]

Thanks Joe.  I was looking at that compressor from Old AIr Products earlier, that's where I bought the other parts.  

[AC Compressor Recommendations Needed]

Converting from r12 to r134.  I've replaced the lines, replaced the o-rings, flushed the system, replaced the POA and expansion valves along with the drier.    The car car still has the a6 compressor which will need to be drained of oil.    Can/should I stay with the compressor or is there a better solution?   I do want to keep it fairly stock looking under the hood.   thanks

Congrats on the purchase, best of luck with it!

 

[A Good Day Gone Bad]

thanks all.   In the grand scheme of things, I know there are worse problems to have.   Nothing some touch up paint and a cold beer can't make better!   I'll have it fixed in the fall when the season is over.
