Thanks for the kind words. I am going to try and hold the line on prices as long as possible. Already some suppliers I bought the original samples from are out of stock and others have increased prices, but I think we are seeing that in everything (wife and I just had a $100 date night that was one measly glass of wine, pizza and pasta ). Hopefully prices hold for a little while.

Right on!!!!!!! Small businesses like that are what keep the D2 flame alive! They are also the lifeblood of entrepreneurship in the US.
I just went through the site and I love it! Please keep it alive until we get back from Europe as I’ll definitely be ordering some stuff as I start in on the Giverny and finish off the Alveston.
This type of stuff is really what keeps me addicted to the D2 and glad to be a gear head.
EDIT: Something I really like is the attention to detail as it relates to key restoration components. There are a million YouTube videos and other hit and miss things throughout the Internets kinda half heartedly stating some of the issues. The restoration section clearly and concisely (and correctly) describes a good portion of the well known issues with the D2. It’s all stuff that took me a few years to learn, and it’s nice to see it consolidated and from a trusted source.

Take my money! A couple of questions -
For the coil relocation, why the two extra wires for 7&8? I have a new set of plug wires, so do I use that + two extras?
Vinyl / Leather restoration. My guess is this is cosmetic color correction more than repair. I will buy but do do you have a recommendation for vinyl crack repair? I have a couple of small cracks that need fixing before they get worse.
Thanks and nice stuff!

I'll second this question. Other than that question, the coil pack relo kit is a simple, elegant work of art. The hood (bonnet) clearance vid is clever. My only question is about whether or not the coil packs will be exposed to enough more heat in that location to shorten their life materially. I'm not asserting; just asking.
The sight glasses are beautiful too. My only suggestion for them is to clarify that the trans sight glass must be installed with the engine running; otherwise there'll be a big mess! Perhaps you say that in instructions that come with the item.
The site looks great. I did find a couple spelling/typo errors I will share with you privately via email. Great work!

On the leather /vinyl repair, the product will fill small cracks but any other vinyl repai will do for major tears, the permeated product sold at Wal-mart will work fine, use a heat gun instead of the iron the supply. I will add that as an option for folks convenience but I cannot sell it as cheaply as WM does.

Yes, instructions explain sight glass replacement.
Thanks for the spelling corrections!
