Meanwhile, I charged the battery on the 240D, which has been sitting next to th driveway for over amonth with a flat tire. Then got the plywood and roof-panels off the TD, cut the pane;s to size and stored them on the porch. Then back to the 240D for some Fix-A-Flat (new non-flammable formula), and the required drive to spread the stuff inside and finish filling the tire. Still need to figure out why it occasionally rattles in front when I brake or shut off the engine, and why the left-rear power window stopped working.
And of course, get a working alternator in the TD.
One of my spares looks like a 100-amp. Physically a bit larger than the original 65, but it might still fit the bracket, And I may need to run a thicker cable to the battery.

Happy Motoring, Mark
