Re: New permanent location
Congratulations on your new home. How many citicars fit in a 3 car garage? ;)
?
I bought a home on 2.3 acres with a 3 car garage. I will be more active in this group. I have hauled for members previously.

Hi All,
I'm getting close to having my Comuta ready to "daily drive" the 2.5 mile commute to work. At the moment however, it's unregistered and not insured, so I haven't driven it much besides around the block.
I don't want to pay full-on normal car insurance for it, since (especially for me, at 19) it's expensive, and I'll barely drive the CCar except when the weather is nice. My insurance agency offers a "classic/antique car" insurance option, with requirements that the car is in "decent" condition, is being or has been restored, and is kept in a garage.
What are your experiences with insurance on your CCars, and what would you recommend?

Re: Insurance for CCars: Your experience?
Congratulations on being almost road ready.? I use hagerty for my Citi and have been happy. Their towing is beyond the range of a charge, and they offer some neat events in their drivers club.? My father in law switched to Grundy with his mustang and is also happy. Neither of us have made any claim to date though.?

Re: Update on red top brushes
Good Evening Tom,
? ? ?The brushes and springs were good it was the dual brush wires did not fit well in the slot opposite of the spring. That was totally the issue. I had the spare set you sent in the box! That box had a lot of good goodies!? :o)

You may want to check the spring tension while you’re at it. Weak springs can cause excessive arcing, which will burn out brushes.?
