Re: Pictures of the European meetings You're funny! I've never found a road in the US coming close to European roads. I'd never take my Ty beyond 130 mls on the crappy roads here but took it almost daily up to these speeds while the truck resided in Germany (fun to scare people with a brick)...

Re: shipping overseas? Late reply but... If you ship FROM company TO company it's worth to contact BAX Global. Shipped recently 93 kg = 205 lbs and for example a 71 Buick Riviera dashboard (that thing is LONG). Shipping costs were US$ 143 and it took just 4 days. M@

Guys (girls for sure as well - LOL)... I need upper an lower control arms, at least the ball joints. a.) Whats better replace the whole A-arm? b.) Just replace the ball joints (guess you can get them as spare part)? Edit: OK did some research I guess I don't need the control itself so looking...

Re: New shocks? Any opinions? Rancho 9000 love 'em and you can adjust how firm you want them. It's great to subsitute the front weight (engine) with a tick harder in front without sacrifying the overall ride. M@

Re: Zr1's or polish my factory wheels? I polished the stockers. Remember it's a messy job but ... http://www.tyguy.net/images/ty719/ty_11_8x6.JPG BTW if you get a good deal on tires look into these ($ 595 isn't bad at all). M@

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up) I also went with the blue ones from superbrightleds. For instruments they are OK but the 1157 style for the tail lights or turn signals are not to recommend (at least IMO). See pictures of my shifter, the gages (VDO black) and the LED's...

Re: A/C R12 retrofit @sytyguy Any online sources or just go to an A/C shop or parts store? My compressor is leaking at the bearing and a new one is already sitting in the garage BUT I don't want to hassle with the expensive R12 anymore. @666 Sothis 666 Do they also evacuate and refill with the...

Re: Oil pressure gauge spun around @666 Sothis 666 Finally it hit you too - LOL Just turn it back, if you want remove the needle stop at the bottom; pull it simply out, you don't need. Or break a small pin, take a lighter and heat it up and CAREFULLY put it as needle stop on top (worked for me...

Does anyone know if you can get R413a here in the US? It's a direct drop-in WITHOUT any additional changes to the A/C system while R134 requires new seals at the compressor and evacuation of the old stuff. M@

Re: Needle illumination & brake lights @supersports10 quote: right at this split is a black wire, with a ring terminal and a star washer with a self tapping bolt. /endquote: Didn't find this one but found the ground from the frame going up to the gas filler (THERE you need ground!). Took it...

Re: HID Conversion--- Recommendations??? OK again my word. NO US SPEC D.O.T. H4 Sy/TY style headlight is suitable for HID conversion! Why? DOT is the only left regulation all over the world which demands to distribute up to 30% of the light UP... to read the streetsigns which are located ABOVE...
