I believe Helm, Inc. produces the Service Manuals sold by Honda to their
customers. I went to the Helm web site

http://www.helminc.com/

and searched for a Service Manual for the 1997 Honda del Sol. The result
that I got was:

"1997 Del Sol Shop Manual Supplement" at a cost of $27.00 .

If I so a search for a 1996 Service Manual I get:

"1996 Del Sol Shop Manual (All)" at a cost of $62.00 .

The description of both of these manuals is virtually identical.

Based upon the price (and the title) I suspect the 1997 manual is not
described correctly and is a supplement to another manual... but a
supplement to what?

Does anyone have any information on these manuals?

Best regards,

Scott

Supplement to a 1997 Del Sol Shop Manual. I bought one of these.
They're nothing much, for me it's useless, I had it returned. The real one
is a 1997 Del Sol Shop Manual (All). Notice the word ALL says it's
thick and includes most or all information found on the supplement.

What is the supplement? I believe it covers electrical wiring drawn in the
"Chilton" style. It's not professionally done, so it may include errors,
etc. I'd asked the same question 7-years ago.

Just to clarify, I didn't find a 1997 manual (All) just a 1997 supplement.
I found a 1996 manual (All).

So, if I follow you correctly, the 1996 service manual (all) would be your
purchase recommendation .

Thanks for your post!
