I have an idea to help new member Mary Shortridge, People within driving distance of Garden City KS read up Options

[rick 918-S]

Any local World people who are driving distance to Garden City KS and can assist this new member I would appreciate it.

With Mary's permission I suggest a cruise day to her location. As part of this cruise I would suggest the locals inventory the parts she has and help her get what she needs to complete the work on her brothers car.

If you haven't read this you need to.

I hope I haven't over stepped my bounds by suggesting this Mary. But I really think you need a good start here. This is a very helpful group. Don't be shy and we will help.

Mary, I'm sure you feel compelled to thank us a million times. Please, it is really our honor. If you feel comfortable enough to share some photos of your brother we wouldn't mine seeing them. Truthfully, this is how 914 people roll. No need to feel anything but happy. We have lost a few others around here. some real good generious people that shared with us and always had time to help others. It's our way of honoring our friends and paying it forward.

Now, Speaking of paying it forward. I didn't have any good used parts on your list. So, I though I would buy you a new alternator harness. Wiring is real important with these cars. Good connections make for trouble free driving.

I contacted Jeff Bowlsby. He is one of our wiring gurus. He builds new harness parts for us. Well, Jeff is sending the harness out to you and would not let me pay him. As usual, Jeff, We luv you man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Mike or Carrie or Mary, Is there an old harness? Jeff stated we will need to reuse the plastic connectors off an old harness for the new one he is shipping. If not I'm pretty sure I have an old alternator harness with good ends.

Hi Rick,

We really have you to thank for getting this thread started - it was (and is) a great idea - thanks!

Also a special thanks to Jeff - he does the 914 World such a great service with his harnesses and knowledge.


Carrie can tell us more about the harness - or the pcitures on the website might help too. Does Jeff want to rebuild the existing or just need it as a core for a future re-build?

Cheers!
