KUDOS Fantastic jobs. And it is easy to not like Megasquirt. You have to dig in really deep to understand it. But for me MS1 and EDIS has worked great on a SBC in a Cobra replica and also 454 in a very hot Pantera 1972. We busted the ZF transaxle. After we got hold of a almost unused ZF...

Riverrat. Sorry abt that. I am almost sure there is no English ( or German) version. Up to the mid nineties Sweden was very isolated. Ola

I use the old fashioned " NOKORODE" brand. Bought a large tin in the 1960´s and it is still perfect. Soldering standard steel parts, non galvanized, goes perfectly. Use 60/40 solder and a 1200 W soldering iron Stainless-- impossible. Ola

Steve , We were harness lucky. Just had to renew a small part of the engine harness to the MAF The W140 has a load of component rich subassys. And most of them are complex but repairable. Worst offenders; Boot lid lock assembly Reverse "antennas " on the rear wings Hoses, couplings and central...

A family car with about 150.000 miles on it. Over the years we have maintained it , has a nice hobby shop. The most irritating problems: Ignition module died. Engine also has poor quality distributor caps, they die every fourth year. 2021 we replaced all suspension bushings, shocks and...

Irrelevant for yáll, however. A Swedish supplier of small and large metal work machines, KARLEBO, published a biannual book, about 450 pages. Covering everything mechanical, electrical and data sets for even the most advanced 60s workshop. I have one we got in 3rd year in High School, That...

I had a friend that was a Rolex Certified Master Watch maker. He could do anything, big or small. He lost the use of his left arm when he was 67, and started collecting small UK Moris cars from the 50s. Made complete rebuilds, made them much better than new. Had about 15. When he was 86 he...

I worked in a large iron ore mine in West Africa for > 10 years. Most of our machines were D9s and 966. Caterpillar service was perfect and so were their tools. However Using D9s in iron ore stockpiles involved lots of reversing, which used almost as much power as pushing large piles of ore...

The best way to up your number of spanners, sockets, and everything thread-cutting is to buy a dilapidated 1955 LandRover. Make a complete restoration. Has every kind of thread and nut/bolt head sizes ever existed. ( All metrics excluded, we won the 2nd world war!) How about British Bicycle...

Nice! Make sure the wheels are all metal and bearings, bolts are good. I restored a 1969 MB 280 SL. When I should lift the engine over the front clip( swedish nickname cyclop) which also has an expensiv chrome part, one of the front wheels on the new 1,5 ton lift ( engine was 210 kg) split and...

Four cycle. Thanks a lot. The radio is a Blaupunkt Köln series X, which in Blaupunkt lingo means it is manufactured 1968. This was the Blaupunkt top of the line radio, found in epensive MBs and even some BMWs. And the part I am looking for is the little permanent magnet DC motor. Including...

Bill. The entire commutator assy ( OD appr 1/4", l appr 5/16 ") had disintegrated due to some bonehead that had drowned the entire unit so that the 5 small commutator segments became loose, glue was dissolved. Two of the very thin rotor wire assys had lost all insulation. Way beyond my...

DOGDOG wrote Well, don't get into any fuel-injected vehicles ever again; they're full of push-lock fittings. Spot on. A friend had a small accident with a VW POLO 1998, front to tree. Not hard. The fuel injectors sit totally exposed in front of the engine and the fuel manifold has the plastic...

Thanks to all. Tried all of the above and several more some weeks ago. Big Fat Zero. Given up We had an ace radio guy on this forum some years ago. RADIORON He did incredible work. But not here anymore. I have tried to contact him, no luck. Ola

Repairing a top of the Blaupunkt line 1968, a Koeln series X self seeking car radio, LW, MW,SW and FM. Radio works perfectly, replaced all electrolytics in speaker driver part Some specialist has sprayed the entire radio with loads of some kind of "cleaning spray " that has also enered the...

The designer of the exhaust gas analyzer in the big SUN units were active on GJ maybe 10 years ago. He was also a really nice guy! I restored a big Sun, the one with one ignition CRT and the other CRT dispalying all measured values. My gas analyzer had both sensors shot. Impossible to find, but...

Ultradog You are right about the navy. Great way. But can not stop myself citing an old navy joke " I joined the navy to see the world. But they put me on a lightship in Bremerhafen" Ola
