Installation
questions are GLADLY answered on your "Rallye" parts!
We've been able to see our 39th year in business by
providing service AFTER the sale. When you purchase a
part from us you are not "alone".
If
you need installation help with your Rallye part,
we've probably done the job "once or twice" ourselves
the past 43 years, and are happy to provide help. For
many years we operated a roadster-only shop. The parts
business just buried us and filled the shop floor with
boxes.
People
constantly indicate in a conversation that they feel
they are "bothering" us by asking for after sale help.
NOT SO! I won't ever "talk-down" to you or make you
feel your question has no merit.
My
big fear is that you will ask something that I DON'T
have a clue about! I have other vehicles I know little
about, and I have to sometimes force myself to ask
someone's help, so I know how it feels to be on the
other end. So ask!
Be
sure to email your VIN# and the invoice number of the
part(s) in question. That will allow us to do two
things; verify EXACTLY what part was sent to enable us
to give you a good answer; and to know for sure what
car we are dealing with.
For
Tech Help Email Me 24/7 and I'll try to come up with
an answer.

P.S.
Please don't ask me solve a problem you have with some
part you bought someplace else that won't help you.
I'd be shortchanging our own customers who have orders
waiting; and you'd be chiseling away at my good nature
and meager mental
resources.
If you bought the part from us I've got all the time
in the world for you either by email (usually) or
phone or sending pictures or parts blowups back and
forth to see what's what; or whatever it takes.
We
had a roadster only* shop before the parts end of the
business flat overwhelmed us; although I still have 10
fingers; I've completed most of the service jobs on
these cars.
*Except
for the occasional Z or Brit Sports car whose owner
convinced me to take on something that would typically
make local customers ask "How did that thing get in
here?" My experience with different cars is pretty
limited but I managed to solve the problems. Sometimes
the same good-guy shops that I had helped in the past
helped me back.
My
history is 62-67 MG Midgets and Austin-Healey Sprites;
57-58 Plymouth Furys and Belvederes, 58-63 Daihatsu
Hijets and Trimobiles, 65-67 Dodge Darts. The last 43
years I seem to be stuck on a track with these Datsun
Roadsters; except for the RX7s, Honda Preludes, Toyota
Supra Turbos and more mundane vehicles that stay for
awhile.
