Resto of '78 124 Spider

The horn button comes off by slipping a blade or thin screwdriver under the retainer ring @ the metal spoke area then pry it up carefully to pop it off & then the wheel is held on by a big nut, 15/16" socket works great, then wiggle the wheel off off.

Thanks, Doc! Did exactly as you suggested this weekend and it worked like a charm. NOS wheel installed and looking good!

Sorry, saw you asked a question about the gas tank and rear bumpers. There is a way you can remove the tank anchor bolts and use a jack and a piece of wood to lift the tank to gain access to the bumper mounts on the drivers side without removing the tank or disconnecting the fuel line. You want to raise the tank just enought to gain access.

SNIP:

Next item: Rubber bushings on front anti-sway. One side has slipped out. Looks a bit ragged but I think it will still function until I get around to doing them all. Can I simply loosen the bracket under which this bushing lives and shove it back in, then re-tighten? Or does the whole bar need to come off? (In which case I'll just replace them all).

TIA as usual!

Anyone have any info on this?

I got all kinds of seat pieces, bottom foam, back foam, mechanisms, and a lower console too. Send me an email matt.scarton@gmail.com

Matt:
Got your package today. Seat foam and back adjust mechanism all look good. I know what I'll be doing this weekend! Thanks!

yes you can undo the tow nuts that hold that bushing and move it around also tow other nuts hold up the other bracket on the same side . it also helps to have the car on jack stands and have a jack under the balljoint to move the A-arm up and down.joe
