I think the original tape was narrower. Why do you suppose #6 fuse is missing? I recall painting mine black, so I suspect they were black to begin.
-
are we counting the missing air cleaner cover?
-
In 132? I guess to be consistent with 138, I should say 2 in 132
-
I see two things in 138. And 1 on 132

Hi
Do you have access to your car now? I was wondering if you could measure the diameter of the rear shock rod (connects to upper mount).

Does anyone have a rear shock off the car? Preferably a Bilstein?
-
I did some research on the steam powered prototype. It was to be called the H2O 02.
-
Steam powered 02?

A local fastener store can often supply these; bigger stores may sell by the bolt.
-
I seem to recall some comments about production variances. I ended up recycling my old O/S oem ones. But any updates from QSC buyers?

Engine support - is there a correct way to sling the engine?

The better quality links are rated. Be sure they are tight. -
Like Mike says. Find out the general health of motor first. If you haven't done so already, change ALL fluids to establish baseline for maintenance. You don't want to embark on engine rebuild just for fun. Then review status of suspension, steering components, wheel bearings, drivetrain, etc.
-
Which brings me back to my question: why do you think it needs to be rebuilt?
-
Get a piece of coat hanger about 6" long. Bend a 90 deg angle about 1/2" at one end. The idea is to poke the 90 deg stub thru the hole in the back of the knob to push the center cover disc out of the knob.
-
Hard to say until you get it apart unfortunately. Depends on whether you need new pistons, whether head is salvageable. What leads you to think you need a rebuild?

Art gaĺlery stuff.

A handy upgrade is the adjustable lift bar that allows engine angle to be changed going back in. Harbor Frt. I expect. -
8.5 to start. With gasket. Try to get reading off bowl, not the seam.
-
Although I've seen 29 mm for another car application.I think I'm running 27 with Spanish foam floats. You have to be fast to get in there right after shutting off motor. But mostly I recall seeing 25 mm.
-
I think it's more like 25 mm, but YMMV.
-
8.5 mm comes to mind for brass floats. Plenty of guidance on FAQ. Make sure the floats aren't leaking.
-
Did you say the donor engine is out of the car?
-
Looks like an NK idler arm. There is a spec for capacity, #80 gear oil sounds familiar. Let me know if you can't find fill spec.
-
Those sealing rings are news to me. Now I have to go look at my car to see what's there.
