I drained it and filled it with the Lucas power steering additive. some of that leaked out and I topped it with HD brake fluid. It's still operating with not so much as a peep. It still uses a small amount of fluid, but I just top up with the lucas and I'm good to go. It's a 91 V'ger so it don't get to much TLC. It belongs to my cousin who is hell on vehicles and short on cash. I hear Ya on cold weather wrenching on cars. I just cut the hanging end off the exhaust instead of replacing it in 30 degree weather. It'll get a new pipe as soon as the warm weather takes hold. It's got a distinct but quiet rumble from the catalytic converter now and the mileage improved.<br />Here's a funny story tent related. When drawing up my ideas, The first was a Tipi on a catamaran and the second was a yurt on a trimaran. The trimaran idea has some merit with a boxy covered wagon type tent amid ships, with a mod crab claw sail plan. I'll have to blog on that as it still makes me smile.<br />Lastly, Velomobiles, look up N55 space frame trike and get some coro-plast and duct tape and wing a body on it. I use coro-plast on my wheel covers on my bike and it works wonders. Use a 36 volt hub motor in the back tire for a motor assist. It uses a nickles worth of electric about every 40 mile. My problem now, is how to fit the trike on the boat.<br />Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127473453909413019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-65792667858158321942013-03-06T21:31:37.804-05:002013-03-06T21:31:37.804-05:00Velomobiles, baby! except, as far as I can tell, ...Velomobiles, baby! except, as far as I can tell, the only way to get one is build it yourself... from your own design!John D.
