The recent get-together was well
attended and we all agreed that rust-proofing is an important addition which must be
conscientiously installed. The Tuff-Kote folks were great! Bill stamm's Omega is next. We
had the pleasure of examining Ben Edelstein's Apollo. What a dandy car! Mr.Vos is
sending out new windshields. Buyers should let me know how they're working out.
Corrections
Spring Rates - Late Model Front End
Ronald Avington reports that his
springmaker discovered a rate of 430 lbs/inch. This is so different from the 350 rate
which worked for Drew Hamelink that those members wishing to replace front springs had
better wait a bit until all is clear. If you can shed light on the subject, please do so.
Vacuum Booster

suggestion is a probable, not confirmed.
Other Items
Have almost enough new data for a
newsletter -- including David DaCosta's report on installing Valiant ball joints and Hawk
A-arm bushings in his early Italia. Newsletters will be written by me, typed by Frank
Wiggins, xeroxed by Jim Shoemaker and mailed by Steve Olson. How's that for Club spirit!
Also, Bill Stamm will handle xeroxing and sending of literature and Steve Olson can
reproduce car pictures.
Please note that 1976 dues are due.
Newsletter #13 will be a 'Spring Issue'.
