Seems to happen about this time of year... I should start seeing the classified ads coming in soon....  short timers  :D

But it's all good, if nothing else, people that find their clippers on the website already know about the club.

I'm almost embarrased to say.. my clipper hasn't been out in about 6 months...

Tch, tch Shayne... crank that puppy up and head for someplace with a heated pool, jacuzzi, and a good bar for a weekend...  :D

The Tech Forum's pretty active, I've been posting there.

Hey dumb question guys.  I can NEVER get my ('76) doghouse back on right, esp on the driver's side!!!  The clamp just won't catch.  Once in a while I can get it, but can never remember what voodoo it took.  From the floor clamp, it looks like it oughtta go forward another 1/4" or so, which I guess is what the clamp's supposed to do... but darned if I can get it up there.  Tips?

Andy,

Just don't put the floor screws in first. That way you have a little wiggle room.

And make sure that there are no wires hanging down from the radio.

Good Luck!

doghouse not seating properly

1) as noted, check for wires
2) look carefully at the rubber seal (on the clipper) for bumps, warps
3) check your doghouse insulation, sometimes it can hang up on stuff, like a manifold shield, air cleaner, etc.
