Re: 1965 Dream for sale 1019 miles!

I also have a '65 Dream and I'm having issues finding a modern replacement for the fuel petcock at the bottom of the tank.

Re: petcock bodies from thailand

I ordered one for our '65 CA77 thru Ebay (won't arrive for about 5 more weeks); "slow boat" from Bangkoc first, then UPS, then finally USPS I think. That's fine with me, I'd rather work in our "no A/C" garage in September than August. From what I've heard it's best to use either the round felt gaske...

Re: Set of Buco bags and mounting brackets

Re: Replacement for '67 CA78 old style battery?
