As you have probably heard by now there was a bad earthquake in New 
Zealand last week.

One of our club members (John & Loretta Stead) live in Christchurch 
were the quake was centered.  She send us an email about it right 
after it happened, on
Wed and Thur. morning.  They will be in the April issue of The Brickline along
with 2 pictures.

The Steads are OK but shaken, and helping the others in their neighborhood that
have suffered more losses.

George Malaska (the club registrar) suggested that club members might want to
chip in and send a donation to Christchurch in John & Loretta's name.

Stuart Zukrow (Bricklinalia) has a pay pal account set up so we can make a
contribution to a pot via pay pal.  In a few days (not sure when - 
but we want to
do this quickly) we'll take the money out of the pot and send it on 
to Christchurch.

If you'd like to donate, please send your donations via pay 
pal  sjzukrow at msn.com

  Hi;            RE: Contributions to Christchurch, NZ

In order to secure a charitable contribution deduction, the donations 
should be made through a 501(c)(3) organization.  Is it being run 
through one?  If not, usually a church or other organization like the 
Red Cross will work with you in setting that up.  It may be easier if 
you know a minister, priest or pastor of some church well (doesn't 
matter what denomination).  The Red Cross may already have something set 
up, however, it may not be a 100% benefit that goes there.

Just my 2 cents.

 Hi Paul and thanks for your input. I put the idea out to help the people in
need. I personally am not worried about being able to claim it as a charitable
deduction. All I am thinking about is helping and I think that with John and
Loretta being in the center of it, they probably know of a local organization
that needs and can make best use of it. My opinion and experience has been
local food banks and shelters would use a greater percentage of it than
organizations that are large and have higher operating costs.
 I suggest that anybody concerned about being able to deduct their
contribution do research it and send it to the organization of their choice.

Hello John,

I have a few friends who live in Christchurch and the devastation from their
firsthand accounts sounds unimaginable.  Total devastation!!!

Our friends mentioned that there is a lack of drinking water, though lacing
it with bourbon does help kill the bacteria.  I have attached two articles
on how to use the sun to make drinking water.  This method does not rely on
expensive filters and in fact, I already gave it to one of my consulting
clients whose ministry is in Haiti - last year's earthquake.

I don't know how to add an attachment to the list serve which is why I have
copied you and Stuart with the hope that one of you can get it to the
Bricklin member in Christchurch.

Thanks much,
Jim

?We can not thank all that have sent in donations for helping the people of
Christchurch enough. We will be sending our contributions to them shortly.
John and Loretta suggested we donate to St. John's Ambulance . They have been
tirelessly helping with rescue and now recovery. Many are volunteering their
time and efforts. We feel that this is the best way to help directly and
bypass the larger organizations (who, by the way, are doing a tremendous job
also). Again, thanks to all who contributed and any and all are still welcome
to participate either by sending donations through PayPal or checks to
Stuart.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Christchurch who have seen at
least one third of their city destroyed by this latest round of quakes, not to
mention the hundreds that are dead or still missing.
Loretta has sent me some pictures of the devastation and if any one would like
to view them, drop me a line and I'll share them with you.
George.

  As you have probably heard by now there was a bad earthquake in New
  Zealand last week.

  One of our club members (John & Loretta Stead) live in Christchurch
  were the quake was centered.  She send us an email about it right
  after it happened, on
  Wed and Thur. morning.  They will be in the April issue of The Brickline
along
  with 2 pictures.

  The Steads are OK but shaken, and helping the others in their neighborhood
that
  have suffered more losses.

  George Malaska (the club registrar) suggested that club members might want
to
  chip in and send a donation to Christchurch in John & Loretta's name.

  Stuart Zukrow (Bricklinalia) has a pay pal account set up so we can make a
  contribution to a pot via pay pal.  In a few days (not sure when -
  but we want to
  do this quickly) we'll take the money out of the pot and send it on
  to Christchurch.

  If you'd like to donate, please send your donations via pay
  pal  sjzukrow at msn.com<mailto:sjzukrow at msn.com>

 I am reading the book " The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in
History." It talks about Malcolm Bricklin quite a bit. He is portrayed as a

Scott,

That book was/is a joke. Lots of non-checked facts and half truths. I
think the guy that wrote it used it to get tenure at the college in Virginia
he was/is teaching at.

I am in the middle of redoing the doors and I thought I read somewhere (but 
I can't find the article again) that before gluing the skin to the door, you 
should glue the mirror/cat whisker bracket to the door skin first.  Is this 
correct, because on mine, that bracket is tacked to the window track.  If 
so, I assume you remove that bracket from the track before gluing it to the 
door skin.

You can do it either way, some Of the "famous" well respected restorers remove
the cat whisker bracket and glue it to the skin, That way it will be in the
right place. I personally don't like the idea of removing it from the window
channel, in the past I have mounted the channel adjusted the window, got
everything working right, then trial mount the skin, I usually then have to
cut off the bracket and move it so it is positioned properly then reweld it to
the window channel. Lots more work that way. Next time I will probably just
weld a new "brace" on the channel then remove and glue the cat whisker bracket
to the skin

Larry,

Yes, that was in one of the articles I wrote about redoing the doors, 
and I believe
it's in John Lodge's artice about rebodying a car (just not sure if 
that part has been printed yet).

The reasoning behind cutting the cat whisker bracket from the window frame, is
that the door skin doesn't lay against it, as it was supposed to.  So 
if you glue
the door skin to it, and install the rear view mirror and clamp it down it will
warp the door skin and you'll have a slight indention of the skin 
along that line.

So by cutting the whisker bracket off the window frame, and gluing it 
to the back
of the door skin, the skin get reinforced, the mirror can be pulled up tightly
against the door and to the bar, and you don't warp the door skin.

Rick does have another option, moving the whisker bracket out on the 
window frame by cutting and reweldking it.

 Vibration problems on Bricklin wheel are often due to them being balanced
improperly. They are lug centric and can't be balanced the the same way that
hub centric wheels can. It is amazing how many tire shops don't know the
difference and don't have the proper equipment for balancing lug centric
wheels.




 Here is a Youtube video that explains the difference:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDRG9eb0wNk

So you may want to make sure they have been balanced properly before replacing
them.

I don't know the answer to the above... but in case it helps:

I had the same vibration problem. I looked at brand new wheels. I could not
find the exact offset or backspace to match the original Bricklin wheels.
What I did find is wheels in the right size (15 x 7) and the right bolt
pattern (5 on 4.5" or 5 on 114.3 mm), close to the original specifications:
Offset is 0 (original +1), and backspacing 4" (original 4.5").  There were
various wheels available with those specifications, but for price and looks,
I chose the MB Old School wheels, gun metal finish, part number #62583.  I
bought them at Discount tires.  They fit very well, and the vibration is
gone.

In my case, the wheels were out of true, and even having the tires shaved

wheels did.

It depends, Jeep has used several different bolt patters and offsets over the
years  some are 5 on 4.5 and they may bolt up, It depends on the center hole
though, many are smaller than the bricklin hub, I had that issue with some
donut spares I bought to roll cars around on, I made them work for rolling but
I wouldn't drive on them, The only way to know for sure is to measure them. If
you can find some hub centric wheels they tend to ride nicer than lug centric

Theoretically one can get the wheels reconditioned and balanced, so they do
not shake.  I've been planning to call Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA.
(http://www.wheelcollision.com)  They seem to be still in business, but has
anyone used them recently?

Also has anyone noticed that the BFG tires are getting difficult to find, and
Price/Costco seem to be the only place that can get them.

Yes, you can have the wheels repaired - and it might make sense for you if
you can have a good deal locally.  I was quoted $95 (plus tax and shipping)
per wheel for truing, and then I would have had to pay to have the tires
dismounted before sending the wheels for repair, then pay again to have the
tires remounted and balanced.  I bought the new wheels for $129 each, plus
tax, no shipping and free tire mounting. For the difference, I chose to buy
new wheels.

Scott,

This is interesting. I will have to check to see how they were balanced the
last time and see if they have this option.

I tried to see if I could find someone that could do the old fashioned spin
balance on the car and I have had no luck.  There use to be a guy at a local
(now close) Western Auto that could spin them on the car.  After he balanced
them he would stand a nickel on it's side and it would not fall over   I would
believe spinning them on the car would be the best way to resolve it, but no
one seems to want to do this any more.

  Vibration problems on Bricklin wheel are often due to them being balanced
improperly. They are lug centric and can't be balanced the the same way that
hub centric wheels can. It is amazing how many tire shops don't know the
difference and don't have the proper equipment for balancing lug centric
wheels.



  Here is a Youtube video that explains the difference:

  So you may want to make sure they have been balanced properly before
replacing them.

Yes, that certainly does seem like the best way to go, if you can find someone
to do it. Maybe try calling shops that work on custom cars and hot rods?

Just called Sam's and they just recently got the lug centric balancing
equipment two months ago.  So I am going to take the rear wheels there to let
them try the lug centric equipment to balance the tires.  He also told me to
tell them when I took the wheels in to have them fine tuned.  He indicated
this would not allow the wheel to be balanced in a range, but only to zero.

If this works this is good stuff here for all Bricklin owners to resolve this
problem.  I have worked on my wheels a while to get a good shine on the rims
and I prefer the stock look.  I also prefer to be able to drive my car across
town without being shaken.

That's great, Greg.

Discount Tire is another chain that usually has the equipment for balancing
lug centric wheels.


It can make a huge difference. My wheels were out of balance for a long time
before I learned about he difference between hub and lug centric wheels and
found a place that could balance them correctly. It is puzzling why so many
tire stores don't know the difference. Lug centric wheels are certainly less
common, but Bricklins are far from the only cars that have them. I have a
Toyota 4runner that also has lug centric wheels.

Bricklin wheels are sometimes out of round so it isn't guaranteed that
rebalancing will solve your problem, but it often can and is certainly worth a
try.

Pour this stuff in your tires valve stem and it balances your tire.
But then most of our cars suffer from overaged tires that sit for long periods
of time and get flat spots and shifted belts, which means nothing helps.

Has anyone tried the Dyna Beads on a Bricklin?

Picked up my rear tires from Sam's today after being lug centered balance and
fine tuned.  Problem is I cannot test it out until Saturday to see how it did.

Bricklin VIN 2212, an about 5000 original mile 1975 Safety White Brick that
has been living in a climate controlled garage in Central Pennsylvania for
approximately 15 years, is looking for a new home. It was totally Tannerized
back in about 1997. Looking for serious offers from a new owner who
appreciates the breed.

Indeed, these values are found p 11-14 of the Service Manual.

Terry Tanner
suggested the following in a Brickline:

camber: -1 degrees to 0 degrees
desired -- 1/2 degrees
Caster: +2 to +3 desired - + 2
1/2 degrees
Toe-in: 1/8
Tire pressure: 25 front, 25 rear

Note: these modified specifications are
suggested to eliminate unnecessary tire wear and to improve roadability.
Oversteer or understeer can be corrected by adding or subtracting air in front
or rear tires, depending on driving requirements. Tire pressures are very
important!
