Thomas,

I got your PM and attempted to reply but keep getting "Some users couldn’t be added as they have disabled private message receipt." :banghead:

I have made several attempts and keep getting that message, even when clicking on "Reply" to your recent P.M.

Other than that, All is well.

The earlier post recommended flares for emergency roadside needs. While stationed in Germany we were required to carry warning triangles like the one pictured below...

I would also recommend a cell phone and roadside towing and emergency service coverage, such as that offered by AAA. Such coverage has bailed me out more than once -- and not pnly with my Corvair! I have needed such coverage with my Toyota Supra, a Nissan Maxima, and a GMC Sierra too! If you need it even once in a year it more than pays for itself!

Other useful products...

Compact jack stands. Never trust a scissors or hydraulic jack if you intend to crawl under the car. Also, unlike modern cars most Corvairs lack emergency flashers. Wheel chocks are a useful safety item that I first discovered bundled with my jack and lug wrench when I owned a Datsun 240Z. I always felt that was a thoughtful idea. Here are some examples...
