I ordered a new 6v battery. I also received notice from the DMV registration is due. I’ve been registered as non operational. I think I’m going to be ready to register it operational. I don’t plan on driving it much. I see some members have historic plates. What’s the advantage of that? I’ve been teleworking since the pandemic but plan to drive about once a week when I go back. I would hate to get a ticket for abusing historic use plates. I use my trunk lid as a work bench, doesn’t everyone? Take care friends. 

Don't overthink it. I used to put historical plates on everything until I found a guy who can make me the classic 70s blue/yellow ca plates and started registering those. 

 

I'm pro-historical plates. It will do your car some good. Be blessed and dont look back.

We had an incredible day today, drove all day  next to/following the Rhine River…crossed it twice on ferries on our route from Maastricht to pforzheim.

Helped a Tii buddy remove a dash

OK well first we had to line our cars up and take a picture, and then we proceeded to spend the whole day driving through the mountains in the black forest area to say it was beautiful would be a understatement…

I fabricated an over-the-column, under-the-dash, cardboard panel holder-upper bracket thingy.  I figured I needed at least 1/8" steel, lock nuts, and large SS screws to support that exceedingly dense and massively heavy panel.

Wow!...nice work bench. Looks like a bowling alley. ?

I rebuilt my Weber carb....and got 90% complete when I realized the choke shaft (that flips the butterflies) is missing the lever on the end. I know it was missing when I began the tear down because I methodically laid out all the parts on the bench as I removed them. This rebuild has been a royal pain due to missing parts. Someone rebuilt it before me and left out other critical parts, like a shaft retaining bushing for one of the barrels. Without that lever I can't connect the water choke.

Any body got a spare they want to sell? ( I added my request to Brandon's parts for sale ad.)

 

This is what I need

the lever is not sold separately, but this is one option.

I tried ordering and they are out of stock! I'd be happy to find a shaft with the lever on it

Someone gave me a car cover today, so I tried it on for size. 

 

 

Perfect fit!

I called Pierce Manifolds and although they didn't have one, they helped me locate the choke shaft to finish my carb rebuild. Yay!

It will shrink a bit in the rain.
