Coker tells me their T rims are to be finished with a top coat and were not expected to be installed as is. So this one is going back.

I ordered one of the Coker rims and it just arrived. Unfortunately, the rim has cad plating damage from improper handling. Not shipping damage. The lugs are welded on. Otherwise it is a heavy duty piece but as you suggest, the cost is too high to be anything less than perfect. I have also...

Thank You. Went there. Lots of info on how the system functions. Unfortunately I could not find installation instructions, wireing diagrams or anyone that overhauls/rebuilds these units.

Where can I find installation and troubleshooting instructions for the Bendix Startix system?-----Is there anyone who repairs/restores these units? Thank you

I would like to contact the company that does this work. Can someone provide their website name?

I bought a new radiator from Brassworks for my 34 a few months ago. I asked for an original looking show quality radiator. That is just what they shipped me. 8 week delivery. I would do it again
