INFORMATION ALL K-F OWNERS SHOULD HAVE

Jim's done a great job of scanning many of the parts books and literature we need to keep our cars running.

Parts Manuals and Service Standards are online and one lonely Shop Manual - Henry J.  After the 2014 National in Puyallup I will have time to get back on that little  scanning project.

I am new to the KF world and have found this post to be one of the most informative on reference material that I have read so far.  A shop manual came with my car, otherwise I would not know one existed and but for this post I would not have known many of the other reference material existed. 

When I first bought my Kaiser I came to the KF club website looking for information.  I did not see any manuals, parts lists or other reference material available on the site.  Perhaps it might be helpful to add a link on the webpage entitled  "information all KF owners should have" and include the list that is in this post.  What would even be more helpful would be to have electronic versions of this material on the website or to have links that would take you to a spot where you could find a shop manual electronically.   

For someone who has been around these cars for a long time all of this information in this post might be common knowledge but for us new comers its not.  I have found the list of manuals in this post to be very informative.  Some of them I did not know existed.

When I cant find info on the site or on the CD that was sent to me after I joined the KF club, the message boards are where I go to get information.  Once on the message boards I try to search for the topic I am interested to find answers to questions and if I cant find the information there I post a question.

Here's an interesting book that pre-dated Henry's Cars.

Unusual but outside the general scope for what's covered here.

[joefrazer]

Wow...I paid five bucks for my copy.

While perhaps not in scope of the cars, the book does offer insight into how Henry Kaiser saw business and manufacturing in general. I'm sure many would consider it a preamble to the whole Kaiser-Frazer experience.

[Jerry Wilbeck]

I would like to be able to see the listing of the cars that have been registered on this site.  I know it exists, but have forgotten how to get there.  Also, how do I add my cars to the list?
Help, anyone, please?

Here you go...

eskimo.com/hhagen/reg/reg.htm

[Jerry Wilbeck]

The website will NOT work with Mozilla.  However, it does work with Microsoft Internet Explorer.  I thought that I was originally logged into the site as part of the KFOCI site.  If not, who is responsible for the eskimo site, and how do I verify that it is safe?

[Jerry Wilbeck]

Please excuse me.  Mozilla will work if the http is included.  I still don't understand the relationship between Eskimo and KFOCI, though.

[joefrazer]

The website belongs to one of our club members. He owns and maintains it.

[Jerry Wilbeck]

Is it possible to contact the website owner directly?  I have a few questions and a phone call from or to him / her might be more effective than emailing, etc.

[Jerry Wilbeck]

Thanks, Jake,
