HLEP -- Looking for Warmup Regulator for Tii


hdaraee

Recommended Posts

Folks, apparently the warm up regulator for a tii is harder to find than "hen's teeth!"  Anyone know where I can find one or have one rebuilt without having to donate a kidney first for either?  

 

Thank you in advance.

Check Jaymic (UK) and Walloth & Nesch (Germany).

 

For some reason, warm-up regulators are rare and expensive in the U.S., but less rare and less expensive abroad....

 

My experience? In the U.S., a complete used Kugelfischer pump (with warm-up regulator) sells for $500 but a used stand-alone warm-up regulator is $1,500.... ? How does that make sense? And let me emphasize that these numbers are not for rebuilt units; they are for used units.

 

Good luck,

 

Steve

Just looked at their sites.  No cigar.  Are they hiding them or out of stock?

 

I’d call them, Paul. I’ll bet that the WUR’s come and go.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

For this reason, my extra WUR will stay in a save place!

 

Maybe you’ve said too much, Tom! ?

 

Well, your new electrified fence should at least slow down the WUR thieves. And you can watch ‘em fry with that new video surveillance system... ???

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

 

Oh, yeah, back to business: Do I recall that you had a WUR professionally rebuilt and were happy with the outcome?

This is where I sent my WUR - they had rebuilt the Kugelfischer for the PO.

I didn’t recall that!  They’re certainly one of the best Kugelfischer rebuilders.

 

(People will argue over who’s cheapest, who’s fastest, and some might equal, but none exceed, P.A.R. in the quality of their rebuilds.)

 

Thanks and best regards,

 

Steve

Thank you for all of your responses.  They are much appreciated.  as a prologue, I called all of the names folks gave me, along with some of the other usual suspects like Top End Performance, Korman even Coupe Kings.  Other than Steve at Top End, I never heard back from Koram or Coupe Kings, even to say, "sorry, can't help you."  The folks over-seas in England and Germany responded promptly but could not help; they were out of them (new & reconditions).  Maximillian Imports claims they can rebuild them with all new internal parts for around $600, with a 4-5 day turn around.  Wes Ingram can rebuild it, but said he was 6-months out.  I called Precision Auto and spoke to Dave.  He indicated that he can rebuild mine for around $300-$400 but it would take 2-3 weeks to get it back.  Dave suggested I call JF Pro for whom he'd built 4-5 of them a year or two ago.  JF Pro's answering machine is full so I sent them an email today.  All-in-all, I'd go with Wes since he is the proven deal, but I don't have 6-months to wait.  I think my "Plan B" is to try Dave at Precision.  I got a good hit from him and folks think very highly of him on this board.  In any event, I am very grateful for all of your responses.  I'll post a final follow-up once the car is back on the road.  Oh, and sorry for misspelling "Help"-- I blame fat fingers.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
