Subject: Part Needed - Neutral Safety Switch
On my 58D I need a Neutral Safety Switch which is located on the
intake manifold at the back left corner of the rear carburator. This
switch is
vacuum activated and prevents the starter from running when the neutral
switch is
pushed while the engine is running. If anyone has this part or knows of a
source please let me know, I haven't been able to find the part locally.
Thanks
for your help.

Subject: Shocks for C300, 300B
Hi,
IMHO the problem is the use of air shocks to begin with. I have put them
on a couple of my cars, and when even a moderate amount of air is
introduced into the shocks the ride gets very bouncy. I don't think air
has the damping qualities that the sealed oil or gas shocks do, and I now
believe that the air shocks are good for increasing load capacity but not
for much else. I would use good quality gas or oil shocks for OEM
replacements.
Bill Huff
He you minority, Anybody know of a source and correct numbers for front
and
rear shocks. I went to my local NAPA and they sold me a pair of rears that
they said were correct. Unfortunately I acted in faith, painted the shocks
black and installed. They are air shocks and I noted a much larger
diameter. Turns out they are way to stiff and now the car bounces over
bumps. Thanks for any help.

I've some problem with AOL members (my provider is "blacklisted"... so
i receive but can't answer !!) so i reply through the list to Jack:
like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2432888851&c
ategory=10076
I remember also that Andy Bernbaum had some of them.
When you order from him, mention "intake manifold safety (vacuum)
switch" because ther's also a "neutral safety switch " on trans.
I've made also a page about these switches:

Subject: DARK BROWN WRINKLE PAINT??
Hi, Gang. Does anyone have a source for dark brown wrinkle
paint....preferably in a spray can? I want to do the heater exterior in
one of my '30's-vintage cars. I've always respected the knowledge and
resources possessed by the members of this group over the years, and I
thought someone might have a lead for me. By the way, the brown wrinkle
paint sold by Eastwood is way too light for my needs. Thanks, John in
Wisconsin drjjkoot@xxxxxxx

> I've found that short of replacing the rear springs, use of coil over
rear shocks is a pretty good solution to sagging rear ends. Some catalogs
call them load levelers, but they have a helper spring mounted to the
shock that provides just a little lift in the rear without the negative
effects of air shocks. I think I got a pair from Pep Boys (don't like
going there for much else) about a year ago under the Gabriel brand.

Subject: 300D --Neutral Safety Switch
I want to thank everyone that responded to my panic call for
information on the Neutral Safety Switch and a supplier. Fortunately I
was able to
order a Switch from NAPA and it will be here in the morning. I am now
very well
educated on the problem now and hope it never happens again. Once again,
thanks for everybody's help.

If the above link does not work (I am far from a cyber guru) - look up
ebay
item number 2432196131.
I am moved to pity this old girl and very temtped to bid for her - even if
she is not the young beauty she surely once was.
But alas, my woman and my local county ordinance inspector would likely
take
turns flogging me if this ever showed up in the driveway to sit amongst so
many other projects.
But I figured this may have illuded the registry folks and may add to
their
data.
And of course I'd love to hear that someone saved her from the
crusher.....
Strange things keep us up at night.
Sean.

JACK!!!!!
Paper CLIP!!!!
works real well if you unbend a paper clip and rebend it to fit into
the top side of the 2 wire terminals that goto/come off that switch.
I had one that only acted up every now and then. It was real easy
to keep that modified paperclip in the glove box and when the switch
was acting up, just pop the hood, plunk that clip into the terminals
give it just a little push to make sure it was touching the terminals
and then start the beast right up, remove the paper clip, store it away
and drive off after shutting the hood.

Subject: 300C Front Brakes
Greetings 300 Club Members:
The RIGHT FRONT brake on my 300C is not working correctly and the car
pulls to the left when brakes are applied. It could be as simple as weak
brake return springs. The worst case is weak return springs along with a
bent brake support plate and/or bent shield cover. The springs have air
spaces between the coils when off the car. That seems wrong. The wheel
cylinders are clean, the pistons move freely, and they don't leak. I just
had the drums turned and installed new relined brake shoes. The front
brake shoe just won't adjust properly. Initially I solidly lock the brake
shoe in the drum by turning the adjusting cam in the forward direction of
wheel rotation. After that, the adjusting cam needs to be backed off 1/8
to 1/4 turn to remove drag from the brake drum. This is excessive compared
to the left wheel that is adjusted easily by backing off on the adjusting
cam a fraction of a turn after solidly locking the wheel.
NAPA does not have any return springs older than 1963. Does any one have a
set of 2, 4, 6, or 8 NOS springs they could part with? Does any one have a
backing plate and/or dust cover for the right front wheel they could part
with? I suspect one or both may be damaged. The car can not be driven as
is. I am happy to pay for the parts and postage.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks much,
Mark Schueller
300C,F
