I found a mechanic in Novato to do some electrical wizardry for me..... he was less expensive than typical.

I took the train to pick up the car...... it wouldn't start.

He worked on it again.....

I picked it up..... it failed after 15 miles.

There goes $1100.

...... Electrical is one the same level (for me) as paint. You want the best, or it might never be "right". But it won't be cheap.

Good luck with the search. It is becoming more difficult to find an air-cooled mechanic in the Bay Area.

That said.... I found a good, young, smart air-cooled mechanic in Santa Rosa. He runs a new, full-operation shop with some impressive stable of P-cars. And the shop is clean and organized. He has helped me to understand my electrical issues, and DIDN'T take my cash while we were discussing.

Call me if you want to know more. He's good people.
