  1. 66 - here is the write up I will refer to when I get to this task - the plan and could also be used with the multi tool for clean up
  2. Being from the South I think this offends me = How much do want for the one with the best teeth? Sorry couldn't resist
  3. Karl, You may want to go back to Oregon DMW and give them the plate number as a cross check. Since their record is 2017 and the plate is 2016 it may exist before and someone may have transposed/fat fingered the VIN when registering (and could go back to 07 per Les pix) Just a thought
  4. Slightly off plumb but I find it curious German environmental controls are associated with animals but maybe that is just me The heater blower can suck the lips off chickens German A/C - "a hamster blowing over a snow cone"
  5. Still on even if rains? chance of rain may free me up from family reqs to come as a spectator Is it on the other side of the train tracks from the Crossing restaurant or on the restaurant side?
  6. “The pursuit of rust and patience” “They saved BMW, they are saved here” “From a time when BMWs were interesting”
  7. Were you able to measure the rubber seal from the non-perished unit?
  8. Agree with Les - becoming more annoying- frequently I have the banner and must sign in again (however first login in screen fails and I have to go to retry (same info and told to remember me)
  9. Steve K, Each time I open the site, I get the privacy selection banner even if I have saved my settings previously. Is this planned behavior. Please advise if I am missing something. Thanks
  10. Steve K, Appears to be back but only on Slavs post right now - I did not see when checked some other threads - weird correction - I see on some other posts now
  11. Steve, Do you know what the cast R means? Jim has one of each for his pumps - Just curious
  12. Is the "man-bun" required to get that shine? I need to know before I grab my buffer ...
  13. Steve, Is anyone else getting this error? appears randomly Thanks
  14. In addition to Larry's guidance - I did two sets of Spitfire calipers and it is fun to do. In the Triumph world you go to the 7th circle of hell if you split the calipers but you will be ok. I am a fan of new pistons if available I used a dremel and a brass wire wheel to clean up the bores I used red rubber grease in the bores and when repacking the seals Tape over the bores if you are going to media blast the calipers The piston popper tool saved me filling the recycle bin Now is a good time to change bleed valve and chase threads This is also a good time if you you are planning a change in brake fluid type if that is an issue (but that is another thread)
  15. The air pop did not work on a pair of rusty calipers from a Spitfire so I used this Piston Popper KD-2105 (like one here https://www.ebay.com/itm/K-D-Tools-pn-2105-Piston-Popper-Disc-Brake-Stuck-Caliper-Piston-Retractor-USA/303544941278?epid=732619622&hash=item46acb03ade:g:YEAAAOSwV7ZenImQ ) Worked great - unique tool but was the only thing I could use to get the pistons out - no lost fingers, no spray of fluid and only minor swearing
  16. You could plate at home at your own pace Watch this guy plating parts for a 67 911 It is addictive to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTupOgImpWo
  17. Mike - they let the Brits screw them up first. My 71 Spitfire has a PDWA (pressure differential warning activator). While in principle it sounds good (govt mandated?), when one activates due to loss of pressure you already know it. It really is just another thing I need to consider when overhauling the system or using caution when bleeding brakes. The Brit version also get jammed at one end and likes to corrode in place. Good times.

  19. Ray, You can now use a YOM plate up to '89 in Ga - Form T-224 - just changed mid last year
  20. Brake calipers can be 3d printed - not cheaply but can be https://www.bugatti.com/media/news/2018/world-premiere-brake-caliper-from-3-d-printer/ Not mine, don't own a Bugatti
  21. It has been a couple of years since the rush of 2002 boards were available. This one is more art.
