Re: Thinking About Making Bumper Tuck Brackets for US Bumper Cars

I agree with Bobbo, with the bumpers tucked in the side cover gaps are too large and don't line up.
In lue, most swap Euro or World Bumpers, Euro being the much more difficult swap.

Re: Wheel decisions?!?!!

16 inch I think offers the best size for ride comfort, depending on sidewall manufacture stiffness. 215x55x16 seems to be the highest sidewall ratio in 16's, although 225 comes in at 55 ratio.

Re: Wheel decisions?!?!!

The 17" RC090 is a two piece BBS wheel.
The 15" RS is a three piece clone.

Just so happens I have a set of RC090's I may be tempted
to sell. Let me know if you're interested.

Re: Routing wires from the engine bay into the cabin...

Best going through drivers side and across to middle.
Poke hole in grommet, then seal with silicone.

Re: Servotronic module

I would start looking around the steering box area.

Maybe you can find the location in the ETM.

Re: 1980 633 safari - front spoiler complete

Bobbo,

It looks like a second filter or it was moved to make replacing easier.
Doesn't look bolted to the firewall, just sitting there.

Re: Rear Spring Top Mount Angle Question

I can stand corrected, but I don't remember a difference in the rotation of
the guide support while installing the rear struts. Well I hope not or else
I got it wrong all these years.

Re: No ignition on hot days

Are you saying that on hot days you get clicking in the start mode? Then, if you jump
the battery the car starts? But not hot days the engine turns over and starts ok?

What temps are hot & not hot?

Try e-mailing Elias, he may have something for you. He parts out 6's from CA.

I think this is his e=mail. [email protected]. I usually contact him thru Facebook.
