How does one "locate all of the newsletters"?

I am would like to purchase the brake conversion kit.

Is there a commonly available seal replacement for the oil filler cap on a 16v motor? I would like to keep the original chrome cap and just replace the seal.

There is no gravity, the earth sucks!

Any chance I could have the same PM? I need to empty my reservoir also.

Not sure if cross posting from Craigslist is a problem, but these are just South of Jacksonville. I would offer to take two and move them to Ocala.

Have you looked into a rebuild kit for your calipers? About $8 on rockauto. I just did two (actually 4, fronts too) on my car. It is a set of rubber rings you replace on your existing calipers. You can find posts or YouTube articles showing how. Hardest part is probably getting the piston out. Fairly easy with a compressor, but can be done by carefully twisting and pulling with channel locks. Clean well and use a hone or fine sandpaper (600 or finer) to polish the bore. Lube with brake fluid and reassemble.

Location, location, location.

What I was pointing out is you don't pick a refergrant based on flammability. Even R290 (propane) isn't really any more dangerous than R12 or R134a when the oil mist is present in a large leak.

To be clear, if an R12 system has a catastrophic release of gas it will be an atomized cloud of mineral oil, which would be very flammable.

Nice car, good luck with the auction.

Thanks Jerry, that is just the information I need.

Can someone post a picture or wiring schematic showing colors of the wiring to the tin can relay on the pull-down drive for the top? My wires got disconnected from the three way plug and I don't know how to properly reconnect them.

I found this TSB page, https://workshop-manuals.com/chrysler/tc_by_maserati/l4-135_2313cc_2.2l_sohc_turbo_vin_p_fi/relays_and_modules/relays_and_modules_body_and_frame/convertible_top_relay/component_information/technical_service_bulletins/customer_interest_for_convertible_top_relay/080290/mar/90/battery_dead_intermittently/ Which shows part number 4318800 for that relay. Which I searched for and found one NOS on eBay for $29 (I already bought it so it won't help you), but gives another search option.

Yes, I am with you on this. I can be #3, or maybe #2.5. If you can find a picture of the tools I might be able to machine something. I am going to fit an A568 to my car while trying to fix the 284. I expect it to take a year or so. I found a reference to the detent mechanism being difficult. It shows a cover inside the bell housing that prys off to expose balls and springs that mate to grooves in the shift rail shafts. Keeping track of these is very important. The input shaft seal is also an issue. It gets destroyed removing the retainer. It looks like a new retainer could be machined to hold a traditional seal. Then the parts that need replaced, the syncro rings/blocker rings might be able to be built up with metal vacuum disposition or plating. Or just machine new ones. I have to believe that some other Getrag transmission has close enough parts to work in the 284, but finding them would be a chore. Anyways, I would love to share information going forward.
