WHAT A WAY TO GO! PAUL CICHON’S FANCY ’49 FUNERAL CAR, MORTICIA, STILL IN USE IN HAMPTON, CONNECTICUT MORE ON HOOKING UP HEATER HOSES Chapter member Daniel Parker of Palmdale, California sent in the diagram below and wrote that he thought it “might help the next time someone asks how to route heater hoses”. To aid in using Daniel‟s diagram, members may want to refer to the June ‟09 issue of the Times, in which there appeared an article describing in text the routing of these hoses. 1949 CADILLAC HEATER HOSE ROUTING `
DAVID COSKY OF HADDON HEIGHTS NJ WITH HIS 6169 AT THE ’08 CLC GRAND NATIONAL A BETTER WAY TO REMOVE YOUR STEERING WHEEL By Art Gardner If, like lots of us, you don‟t have a steering wheel puller, I‟ve come up with another, if not better, way to remove your steering wheel. Besides doing away with the need for a puller, this method spares the horn button contact from possible damage. Refer to the drawing below, which shows the top of the steering wheel after the horn button is removed. First, remove the large nut which holds the wheel. Using a small diameter round file (no, not the trash can), file “half-moon” slots into the middle of two opposite sides of the nut to line up with the threaded holes in the hub of the steering wheel. Now, refer to the drawing on the next page. Go to a hardware store or other supplier of fasteners which sells 3/8-16 “washerhead” bolts, sometimes referred to as washer-head screws. (These are bolts or screws with an integral built-in washer as part of the bolt head.) I suggest that you buy 6 such bolts: 3 pairs or 2 each, in lengths of ¾ inch, 7/8 inch and 1 inch (1.9, 2.2 and 2.5 cm.), if available. You can see two of them in the drawing.
