Greetings All!
I've been lurking around this message board for over a year now and
have posted maybe two times. I've always enjoyed reading the huge
amount of information posted on this board, but never had a vehicle
to put it to good use until now.
I just purchased a red '88 Manual with 88K on it. Definately not a
show car, but not a beat up road pig either. Just used enough for me
to drive around, tinker with the engine and not feel guilty about
reducing the value of a rare automobile should I want to bolt
performance parts on it.
I've spent the past few weeks going through all the messages posted
before I joined and copied information relating to my vehicle into a
word document so hopefully I don't ask anything that has been
answered several times before. I do however, have a couple of
questions for the group.
My car has a Ford horn pad, but it did include the McLaren horn pad
in a box or parts. The first day I got it, I tried connecting the
stock horn pad back in place and found out that it has a short. I
did read that this results from the springy foam internally in the
pad drying out and the metal contacts end up touching all the time.
Should I just bite the bullet and contact Hank about a new one? Or
has anyone ever tried to repair their horn pad and if so what
procedures should I go through to avoid damaging it?
Second question is a recommendation for a good car cover. I live in
the scorching Arizona sun and am concerned about the sun eating away
the top. Anyone recommend a good cover for these cars?
Thanks in advance!
Jeff
