You can get after market electric fans from Jeggs or Summit racing catalogs and wire it in... the diameter of the fan is the only thing to worry about.But if your coolant is leaking out no amount of fan is going to fix it you need to find out where coolant is going.When the cooling system is running at 40% ,,,old radiator,,,old fan ..it all adds up to system overload in the summer.Also the atomatic trasmission is cooled by radiator to so that adds to the heat...install tranny cooler it will help radiator and transmission.....Ok for the pedals just practice while holding on to something and also get use to doing one pedal all the time so you dont have to think about it and unclip before you stop.I think getting clipped in at a light to get going is harder cause your nervous trying to get across the light.Rick
That may not be water damage the veneer peels off like that just from moving them sometimes.If it is water damage it will be across the whole bottom so you better take a real good look before bidding,Rick
Hey Peter Do one side with Tailboard seals and horz. seals so you can A-B them and let us know what you find out.When i put Grippers on my Scalas..per Andy...i didnt A-B them cause i was in a hurry and forgot i wish i would have thought about it more but i do think it helped.Rick
Yes you do need to seal the tailboard and the top of the bass bin to the wall.If you dont seal the tail board the presure will go around it and up the corner of the room.If you dont seal the horz. top part of the bass bin presure can go up the wall instead of out the flare of the wall.Rick
Welcome Julie,Do tell us what you have for a reciever i would recomend you try Harman Kardon 430 twinn powered reciever from the 1970's.You can usually get one around 80 bucks on ebay they sound very good with Heritage speakers.Rick
All that info. can be learned here in the forum,,,,are your oile finish?if so use boiled linseed oiland make sure you take rags outside...fire hazard,,,seal tailboards to corner,,,,need more info just ask,,,Rick Tate
The Grippers,,,,like HDBR--Andy said long time ago... pull the sliders off from factory and put the grippers on...i did it to my Scalas and i think it improved the sound,,,,was in a hurry so i didnt A-B them cant prove it.Rick
Not only does the twinn trannys make it like two amps in the reciever they have very low distortion in the first watt.First time i got a HK430 i said wow.. now i got three HKs ...lol...Rick
Brand new ones from place in Texas i forgot the name but i got new ones to build my ALKs ,,,thanks AL...ALK web site can tell you where to get them im sure.Rick
Before you pull it off try heating one half up with a iron and pushing it back together ,,,might need two people to push while you heat the veneer up.Other option is pull back halves off and re-do.I also like the router and inlay idea could make it look cool with contrasting wood strip or metal.Did it pull apart on the tops to?Rick
