DeLorean Repairs, Maintenance and Upgrades

The DeLorean needs routine maintenance and the occasional, more significant refurbishing.  Beyond that there are also a number of customizations and upgrades to improve performance, reliability and functionality. 

Adjustable Upper Link Arms

Joe Angell

In order to get the rear of the DeLorean aligned, I had to swap out the perfectly good upper link arms with new adjustable ones. It was not as easy as it should have been, but became much easier after I got a new, more powerful impact gun.

T-Panel Rattle

Joe Angell

Now that the exhaust noise is fixed, I have to hunt down all the other noises I can hear now. One of them was the T-panel, which was resovled with a little bit of 3D printing.

Steering Wheel Rattle

Joe Angell

My steering wheel started rattling and sitting low. I went through all the usual suspects before trying to twist the cage, at which point it snapped in half in my hands. A quick bit of welding and it was all set.

MagSafe Ashtray Puck Holder

Joe Angell

I need to be able to charge my phone in the DeLorean. I’m too lazy to plug in a cable and there’s no good place to rest it anyway, so I 3D printed a holder for the Apple MagSafe charging puck that replaces the ashtray.

Leaking Coolant Pipe from Bad Hose Routing

Joe Angell

I started noticing a coolant leak under the driver’s side of my car, to the left of the engine bay. It turns out that I had let a pipe rest on the frame and worn a hole in it, which had to be replaced. Bad routing from a former project also compromised the water pump hose, so that had to go to.

Replacing a Stuck O2 Sensor

Joe Angell

A quick swap of a bad O2 sensor wound up becoming a days-long process of waiting for tools, heating parts and finally removing the header and drilling out the bad unit. But it worked, and the new sensor is in reading good.

Broken Alternator Mounting Bolt

Joe Angell

A squeaking alternator on the drive home led me to a broken bolt on the alternator mount. Not sure how that happened, but I replaced it with a new bolt and installed a spacer I’d mistakenly removed from the Camero alternator, and now it’s good as new.
