Rather than going to Google and doing a search on my website, you will be
further ahead of the game by going straight to the website at
http://www.tompatterson.com and clicking on "Search Site".  From the
resulting screen you can be creative, just as Terry suggests.

The reason that I suggest this approach is that the  site Search engine if
both more current, and more comprehensive than the information in the Google
database.  With the change to a dedicated server along with an updated
version of the search engine, results are now very satisfactory.

You may want to look at www.corrosionx.com they have a good product that is
widely used to prevent & stop corrosion.
Has anyone repaired cracks in the ABS baths in the 80's Airstreams?
otherwise I am going to look into having it refinished.
Still looking for 1983 brochures, literature, etc.

Hey from Memphis,

I just want to thank everyone for all of the help with the back end 
dragging.  My suspension is shot and I will be installing new.

My question for today is the switch by the door.  I have researched 
http://www.tompatterson.com and figured out that the switch just inside the 
front door of my 69 Sovereign should operate the center light.  The power is 
on to the light at all times (even if the switch is off).  The wire to and 
from the switch appears to be a smaller black wire.  On the lights that I 
have taken down to work on it seems that there is larger white and red 
wires.  Is this switch supposed to operate through the information center?

Bill

In my '68 Caravel, the switch by the door runs the white spot light by
the door on the outside. Its not for an inside light.
