Bravo! Bravo!
Pop the champagne!

I just watched an interesting video on youtube where a fellow used a Cricut to make gaskets for his chain saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hejUzvfGuY8 I would image given the profile, you would have to make this out of several layers of thin neoprene (such as a mouse pad) and glue up with wetsui...

No LPG cars in the USA. Or very very rare that someone imported or created. I think warehouse forklifts may run on LPG, maybe a lawmower. You have Gasoline or Diesel. In the rural US where I live there are no emissions inspections either. Only a safety inspection every two year to make sure your si...

Just paid $2.49 for regular and $2.79 for premium at Costco in Riverhead NY. You got a deal!

I installed a Curt trailer hitch on my Lexus RX350. Just so I could mount a trailer to pick up another E24.....

For those everywhere, we here on this side of the Atlantic celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday. Secular to be sure but we are grateful for having our family and friends close to us, either in body or in spirit. One of those communities of shared interest is BC and we are happy when newbies join us and ...

Pressure test your cooling system?

From my experience, the groaning could be a wheel bearing. Let us hear if you've solved the problem with the new bushing.

You may also want to check if you have any oil leaks that may vaporize hitting the hot engine and then getting into your cabin.

That setup certainly simplifies the plumbing. Lots less tubing and snaking.

Don,
Many thanks for the waxoyl tutorial. I remember the days of Ziebart but never saw it applied to a 6'er. I guess this is the modern equivalent.
Cheers,

Done. Glad to keep you in Champagne and steaks!

BTW, if you are a numbers guy, what was last year's average donation and did you go over what you needed?

It is always amazing that advances in science can be so personal in their impact. I'm glad that you are on the positive side of the trial with clear benefits of longevity. Back when I was in elementary school (1950's) I was part of the massive Salk vaccine trial in the US while my sister (7 years ol...

re waxoyled in those deep, hard to get to cavities

Is there a diagram of the access points for the waxoyl?

Also:
Bavarian Restoration

Burndy (A Hubbell Company) also supplies ground straps.

It still saddens me when I'm going over some thread where Dean had contributed his vast knowledge.

Although Quickjack is owned by Bendpak, these do not seem to be certified by the automotive Lift Institute (www.autolift.org) while their Ranger scissor lifts were certified. Maybe never submitted? Maybe failed? Maybe not engineered sufficiently? Dunno. Suggest a bit more research before you put you...

Nigel,
Best wishes and if there is anything on this side of the pond that we can do, just ask.

There are a number of polyethylene repair methods (if the tank is indeed, poly) using a mildly heated soldering iron and some filler stick. So you may want to hang onto that old tank and experiment with it. If it's metal, well, nevermind.

+ 1 Definitely need metric flare nut wrenches. You may find yourself bending the steel portion to make up the connection. And be VERY careful against cross threading the flare nuts.

Pod,
Thanks. Now I need a little warm weather to get to it.

Added eyelet leads for my CTEK battery charger. And worked on the Leatherique for the back seats. I guess if you leave the Prestine Clean too long, it gets gummy. So my next step is to re-do the Rejuvenator oil.

I need to access the rear speaker and hinge bolts. How do I remove the upper carpet panel that covers them and the shock towers?
Advice and pictures would help immensely

Soooo many shiny cars. Great to see spouses and children in the event.
