I just used www.gotbelts.com for 75 inch Beams Classis Chrome flip type. They were under $50 for the pair with shipping and hardware. Good quality and lots of colors.

JD in KC: I just installed seat belts in my 49 Deluxe Eight (23 Series). I got them from www.gotbelts.com. They are Beams brand Classic Chrome flip type, 75 inches long. (less then $50 with shipping and hardware) Good quality and lots of colors. I'll try to post pictures on where I put them, but chances are you probably have I lot better ideas then I did. (mechanically challenged!)

Amanda: I just put a new set of Diamond Back Radials
(Classic Fury - 225/75/15 with 2 3/4 inch white walls)on my 49 Deluxe Eight - A much improved ride over old radials and great service. No problem with having them shipped, mounted and balanced locally.

The Battery Brain (Gold) Type III arrived last Tues. from Bill Hirsch - no problem with them.

I have called the Tech at Battery Brain 3 times now to work out the bugs. He has been very helpful.

Its a good product but I don't know how well it adapts to positive ground and generator instead of alternator.

They are sending me the vibration plug in to keep the motor from cutting off if the voltage drops too low. (about $16 more). This wire is included in the Platinum version.

If it works right, it will be nice to cut off the battery without opening the hood and also acts as a thief deterrent.

Has anybody else tried it on a Packard?

I sent for the Battery Brain III from Bill Hirsch last night. It is suppose to arrive on Tuesday,(April 13th). I'll keep you all posted when I install it and try it out. Thanks for all of the replies.
I also put on a new set of Diamond Backs as the old white walls were from back in the day when Diamond Back re-capped old Police car tires. So a little bulge around the rim on one tire ended up costing almost $1000 with the new tires, shipping,mounting and balancing. OUCH!

Has anybody tried this Battery Brain Type III that Bill Hirsch sells for 6 volt? ($58) It seems like a lot of extra connections when a 6 volt car has to have perfect connections to run and start well. I bought a "Kelsey-Seers" (Dave C. help me with this name) starter switch new in the box for $1.00 at a swap meet. ( the guy said he had it since the seventies.) It has a small key that you can remove for safety/security. I was hopping to use it as a cut-off switch but I'm not sure how to wire it in.

The Packard Club has been out of the larger red hexes
(1 -15/16) for quite some time. They list them, but when you click on it, it comes up "sorry, can't find item". I recently ordered them from Max Merritt for the same price ($10 for 4)and they work great!
They look just like they have been painted but with real crisp edges, not too shiny, or reflective,either.

Back to the projector: I have a Eumig Model:Mark S-802D
and it states: Super 8, Single 8 and Standard 8. It has a built in speaker and I used it to play Super 8 movies with sound. It was made in Austria and I bought it in 1978. It works as far as I remember but might need some minor adjustments. I could check it out if necessary. I would love to find someone that can use it. IM me with any ideas or interest. ( I just found the owner's manual and original receipt)

6 volt fans are available from Fifth Avenue Internet Garage
at www.fifthaveinternetgarage.com This is also the place that sells head light relays to use to install fog lights.

I just got a set from Max Merritt and they fit perfect on my '49 Deluxe Eight (23rd Series). (Much easier then trying to paint them or trim the material to size.) I tried to order from PAC, but it took forever to figure out that they were out of them and then to get a refund off my credit card.
