why don't you rebuild it, instead of replacing it?

Probably lots of fun with power like that!

What does worn mean? Pictures?? It will not change the temperature in the radiator at all! It will boil at a higher temperature but then you might bust hoses at the higher pressure or have leaks. "If it's not broke; don't break it!!"

I believe all the newer BMW manual boxes use a "lifetime" atf for lubrication. It's red and feels just like ATF. I believe it was done to help increase mileage and reduce parasitic drag

I use liquid sealers very often. I recently used it on a bmw valve cover. Its not recommended. They are notoriously leaky.

Gonna have to be skinny to hide in that shadow these days!

I would think you could fabricate a bracket pretty easily if you have one to copy

Yes, yes!! Exactly what I was thinking

yes, potentially. Depends how hard it is to get out

Yes

Oiling can be bad for the clocks

Are the aftermarket ones LED or incandescent?

Very pretty! Xmas in October

very informative

Well there's a project for you Chris!!!

Or you could contact one of the better panel fabricators. They could probably supply one

I have 2 different style vacuum bleeders but I still prefer pedal bleeding. I dont know if you've noticed but air can come in around the threads of the bleed screw. That can't happen with pedal bleeding. Fluid can come out but air can't come in

I sometimes run ½ a quart through before I'm happy with how it looks. Mainly because a I want clear fluid coming out. No black. The bubbles normally go away pretty fast unless the line is really empty

Update: They appear to have found my missing hardware, hopefully it's all there Thanks Jim I love Texans so that might be a good option. I also did some wiring of small parts prior to plating. We'll see what I lose and what I don't Chris, Thanks for that! I can get pretty good results with smaller parts. Larger parts can be more problematic. It is also very time consuming to plate in small batches. It would take 100-120 hours to plate a whole car's worth of hardware, that might be low. I was hoping to find a solution for bulk parts and then do some plating at home to fill in around that. It's bad when your DIY plating looks better than the professionals. Sort of disappointing...

I am wondering who everyone is using around the country and how do you feel about the results? It would be nice to find a plater that could handle the Datsun hardware and make it look good but wasn't irritated at helping the hobbyist out. Distance is really irrelevant because the difference in postage is insignificant to getting good plating. I have been trying out a plater in Phoenix who will for the immediate future remain nameless. I have been less than impressed!!! I sent a package out weeks ago. Got strung along with they're almost done, almost done for the last couple of weeks. They called and took payment last week and I received a box today. The parts are ok looking and will probably work but the bigger issue is I'm missing about 25#' of miscellaneous nuts, bolts, washer, etc.!!! We'll see if they find them...If they don't I'm screwed

I would think $100 is more than fair but I'm unsure a out the interchange...

I would think in a support role the electric pump would flow even more because the mechanical is helping pull somewhat

You can unscrew the bleeder all the way and hand thread a small drill bit in and clean out any gunk that way

Not worth the effort. I dont believe you would be able to tell the difference even on a dyno
