 I have gone to the last three Ontario Rallys and
wouldn't miss one unless I was in the hospital (maby).
This has to be one of the best kept secrets going.
Phil must be trying to keep the crowds down to a
manageable size. We have the additional benefit this
year of supporting good judgment.
Having said all of that, I thought the National at
Virginia was one great rally and can't wait to be able
to go back again. We can discuss it at the Western
N.Y. Rally. Leon

 Leon,

I hate to be anti-Canadian (after all they did not
side with the US on the
Iraqi thingy...but we won't go there :-)) but we're
all going to Virginy.
How about you dial in the compas to point south with
a little east. We could
very easily have 20 Loops there.

rally
 that weekend. Leon Karlak

 Gary,

You going to get time to come to the Virginia
Rally at the end of June?
Why
 don't you and Tom shovel the snow from the
drive
 
 and ride down. I'll be
 there.....Andy Hill, Charlie (I think) too.
Should
 
 be a good Loop turn
out.
 
Ian

Leon and Allen , Email me your addresses and
I
 
 will send you some
 
 relays.
JC Whitney sells a REAL GOOD quality H-4
lamp
 
 assembly . It is sold as
 
 the one with a leaded crystal lens. I use
old
 
 Cibie H'lights and they
 
 are near impossible to find . The Whitney
light
 
 looks for all the world
 
 to have been made by the Cibie company or
FOR
 
 them. It has real high
 
 quality glass and exceptional silvering. The
light is priced well below
 
 the Hella lamp that is actually not as well
made
 
 (IMHO).
 
 
By all means do the relay conversion and
as
 
 already suggested a
 
 separate feed to the bat is a real good idea
.
 
 Since the control voltage
 
 for the relay coils is coming from the
original
 
 headlight supply there
 
 will still be no worry of leaving the light
on
 
 by accident.
 
 
Take the time to clean and lube the 169
switch
 
 in any event. Most of
 
 the 169 failures stem from dirty contacts
and/or
 
 a plunger spring that
 
 has lost it's strength due to rust or
heating.
 
 Clean all traces of
 
 corrosion and lube with a bit of anti sieze
on
 
 the cotact surfaces and
 
 pivot points. The 169 will serve many years
if
 
 maintained or it can go
 
 up in a whiff as soon as lack of maintenance
catches up with you.
