some other tech articles "discovered"

Post by PaulC »

While searching for a fix to my squirrelly hazard switch (not staying in) I saw the "fix" of sticking a toothpick in next to the button to keep it in :roll: (guess that's one way, I may actually do that)

More to the point, there was a link on how to repair the switch but it no longer worked. But as they say, nothing ever disappears from the internet. Plugging the link (flumichigan.italian carclub.com) into archive.org I was able to find the missing web page and article (yea! :mrgreen: ).

There were a number of other articles that I have not seen before that could be of interest to others: such as the switch fix and one on installing the control arm bushings, as well as several others.

For those unfamiliar with archive.org, when you plug in a URL it comes back with a page of dates of snapshots of the web page organized in a calendar format.
For those interested, pick the 23 July 2008 date to get the last web page before they transitioned over to facebook and then disappeared altogether by 2016.

Aha! Try removing the space between "italian" and "carclub". Just tried it without the space and it works OK (but not with the space).
