Came out pretty good.

but Keith told me about Wurth rubber glue. It is expensive, but it is better than 3m. Very sticky. I have only found it thru mail order. Pelican Parts I think.

I also heard Blunt was his guide.

I just replaced all my accelerator linkage springs. I had ordered this one, but I can't find where it goes. The diagram looks like it goes on the engine side of the Krugelfischer pump, but I don't see one there.

Anybody know

my2002tii.com shows the position of #1 at 8 oclock march 2006

yep that it.

I believe it the one in the 1 or 2 oclock position that should be shorter.

I pulled all of mine and lined them up on a ruler. One was slightly shorter.

my memory is that its the bolts that hold the seal cap to the rear of the tranny. I believe its the bolt in the 1 oclock position has to be slightly shorter that the rest. If you mix them up , a longer bolt there keeps you from shifting into 5th. It is only a couple of threads shorter

Skip is a nice guy.

He is not a million dallar tool.

He is much cheaper than that.

Couple of Buds and he is a $2 tool.

He will fix anything for beer.

I bought a full set of those metric allen wrenches with a ball tip at Harbour Freight for under $10.

use a bead blast cabinet

Yes, It has happened to most of us.

I heard that he just finished his WWF tour , but he was 3-11.

His trainer told he that he needs to juice up in the off season and put on about 60 bs. Or was that kilograms?

O there is the collar bone label!!

I have seen several curves on the 008 that were all the same.

But I had never seen a curve on the 002 until this one.

I suspect the curve on the 002 is a measured curve considering the 4 points of data.

I got this from Ken at Vintage BMW racing who is currently recurving my Tii distributor.

How about this.

The main curve is the 008

The single line curve is th 002

Thanks, email sent

Did anyone ever find a source for Bosch dizzy springs? Mine are a little weak and so my dizzy advances a bit too soon.

There are two wire clamps that go under the valve cover nuts along the top of the cover that hold the wire to the tempt sensor. I think the part number is 61131359345 but they are NLA. Would some one post a close up photo of one of these so I can try to make a couple of them?

Thanks

Anybody got a part number for a fuel injection type hose clamp to be used for the 12mm x19 mm vacuum hose from intake to brake booster on a 74 Tii? It is also called a NORMA clamp. I am using worm gear clamps now except for one orginal type and there is no part number on it or on Real OEM or MAX.

Thanks

I am not an Ark fan but I bet they put a 10 spot on the Virgs.

So I predict 10 -5 Ark

Shouldn't you be for NC? What is your Virginia connection? Did you graduate from grade school there?
