    Horn won't stop

    Recently purchased 68 Kaiser M35A2. Horn did not work at all. Tried troubleshooting using TM's. While checking for voltage at solenoid per TM, observed one of the wires was disconnected (1st clue). Plugged in and horn immediately went off pretty much making me deaf. Unplugged wire and horn...

    Air Compressor Question

    Air Compressor Question

    I checked the archives on this topic and found a few ideas from back in April, wondering if there are any new ideas. I have a soft top in decent condition, however the front sewn edge at the windshield has come apart and the plastic channel piece that secures the top and goes in the windshield...

    Gauge panel clips

    Anyone know where I can get the small clips that the screws on the dash guage panel secure to? Looks like the screws have a t-handle on the end of them which when turned right/left into this clip snugs the panel corner up. :roll:
