Thread: Followed Me Home II

The work on the roadster has been kind of hit & miss lately with more misses than hits with the frigid temperatures. Been working on the wiring and it's close with the headlights being the biggest part left. Of course when I started messing with the headlights I realized that they had not come out of the box when I was finishing the painting, so they're still black primer..... Arrrrgh! Plus to get the SoCal mounts bolted on the frame requires the radiator and grille to be removed to have room for a small breaker bar to swing.... Arrrrgh x 2!

With the grille shell off I decided that I ought to mount the grille before putting it back on, and Jim Robinson gave me a great tip of using strips of cotton t-shirt material to protect the paint instead of tape! What a deal! It pays to ask the guy who's done it many times before. "The T-shirt material is as thin as tape, but it's a lot stronger and easier to remove. Anything left behind can be trimmed with a razor blade." Thanks, Jim!!

I'd made myself a note, "Wire Neutral Safety Switch" and went out today when it warmed a bit and removed my tranny hump panel. After a long look I Googled "Neutral Safety Switch GM 700R4" and found that the NSS is not on the tranny, but is found on the linkage! My TKO600 manual on the '33 has an integral NSS but not an auto? And the LOKAR Shifter doesn't include the NSS? Back inside I find that LOKAR has a nifty High Zoot switch that functions either as a reverse backup light switch (one arm on the rotating actuator) or as a NSS (two arms on the rotating actuator, park & neutral). Now wouldn't it be nice for them to mention this when you buy their shifter? Wait! Wouldn't it be nice for them to INCLUDE the NSS with their HIGH ZOOT SHIFTER?? Nooooooo! Let's wait until he's wiring the car and figures out it's not there!

Amazon is bringing a nifty High Zoot LOKAR NSS on Monday! Might actually try to start this brand new 2007 ZZ4 some day!
