Bottom of rear window channel attached with oval head screws, as per PET. I went back to the right door to correct this, too.

And then a new door weatherstrip. Again, a decent press fit without adhesive.

Left door done for now. Final alignment will have to wait until I get my targa top back from the paint shop.
But it is nice to hear both doors close with a solid "thump". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

I started to track down my problem with the oil temp. The gauge seems to work (it flicks up slightly to indicate "cool"), but I have never seen it register any "heat".
I understand the sender should register about 1000 ohms when room temp. But I read a wide open circuit. (How do you like my custom probe extension?) Attached thumbnail(s) |

While I was pondering the oil temp sender, the Fedex driver delivered my new brake master cylinder. This one is genuine ATE.

Since I have been burned by bad warning swtiches, I tested the new one--and found the circuit closed. i.e. it would trigger the warning light.

I pulled the new switch, and reset the plunger by pulling it out. Now the circuit is open.

But I want to use my new dual-connector switch. I checked it again, installed it, and the circuit is open, as it should be.

Just a photo to remind me that I did not forget the washers!

Meanwhile, in the car I detached the brake reservoir and pushed it down.

This lets the lines project out the bottom, with enough slack to work the lines into the MC.
