Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
My build date is 9/84 so would the Wylie bracket fit on the sanden? If i understand the thread, its a no-go. Regarding the TXV, is there a video or tutorial about taking the a/c blower fan box out?. I have another pair of brackets I can't recall where I got them (either failing memory or been collec...

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
Song, I can't believe it's been over 6 years on the thread. Way back in 2017 we chatted about the TXV in your a/c refresh. So I've got most of the parts and a dedicated a/c tech to do the work although I am trying to identify the best 7 piston genuine Sanden compressor. I've got a cross flow condens...

Curious why you don't use a Sanden compressor?

Toyota makes a 2 part cleaner. Part 1 is a pressurized can with a long tube and cleaner. 2nd can has a deodorizer. I had seen it on Amazon but more likely found at a dealer.

Suggest you talk to a local trimmer for edging and backing.

Re: My 6'er
Wrenching season has begun. So far, it been about $1k to replace a badly rotted muffler with an ok used Ansa rear muffler. As we don't have emissions tests on cars this old, and the cat was rattling, they installed a 1 into 2 pipe. Here's the program this summer: 1. Fix broken bolt in the right rear...

Re: And you wonder why the front sills and floor rust ?
Minor add to the solution: put a ss hose clamp where the hose exits the bottom drain to prevent it withdrawing back into the cavity.

Re: 1985 EURO 635 CSI Diamantschwarz
I wonder if there is value in designing a new, larger heat sink for the blower transistor. I think the original is steel so an aluminum one might be more effective. Plus using silver, heat transfer paste is another upgrade.

Do you need a measured drawing of Ed's steering kit? Mine is a 100 miles away but I could rough out the dimensions.

Song,
Isn't there an injector for the cold start system? And did you change the fuel line to that injector which others say imperils the engine as it could leak?

Buy a 10 pack of plastic ponchos on Amazon for about $12. I use them when I am under my cars doing degreasing or other messy jobs. Use it once or twice and them toss them.

The strategy for collecting parts cannot be linear as rare parts are a randomly available. If found or offered, grab them and stash them.
