    That's a great offer! Thanks for that! I better not, I'm too slow already because I have so many projects already
  2. I would say those are original wires. They may actually work fine. I definitely wouldn't chunk them. Someone might have an interest even just for shows
  3. That's quite the project! I'm not sure I'm that adventurous...
  4. Who'd a thunk it!!
  5. Would the 12v in still be 12v after a 2.2KOhm resistor? Wouldn't it be lower?

    This was at the end of February There was some hardware that needed plating. So I had to get my bench back up and running. Didn't wanted to use ugly hardware on a new engine 😉
  7. Start at post #597 p24 The bottom screw/pin retains the cylinder in the bore. You will need a sacrificial pin or a bolt for that hole. I had a corroded one that I cut off so I could plug the bottom. Tapped the reservoir. I agree, I have several Nabco clutch master cylinders and I like the idea of having the original Nabco part. The finished rebuilt part is shown in the following pages
  8. I'm leaning in the direction that Steve was leaning. I think you have too much resistance somewhere. Your new wiring is too small, bad connection, corrosion, something. When the load spikes the flow drops momentarily. Then it recovers. I'm no "Sparkie" but that is where I would start digging. I suggest if the Captain or Steve recommends a path, that you take it. It's one of the things they're experts at!

    I have a soft spot for Beetles. At least old ones. I learned to drive in one. I still have it, although it needs a lot of love now. My dad bought it new in Germany in 1956. Basically a one owner car
  11. X1/9 with a Honda transplant! I bet that's pretty quick...

    I miss seeing you Jim and all my other Zcon friends... 😞
  13. Yes, my feed is new content you haven't read. So they all show up but I never look at what subsection a thread is in. I also assumed they were accidental duplicate posts

    52 years!!! Amazing
  15. You're very welcome. Glad to help
  16. That's interesting all 4 of them show up in my feed
  17. Ernest, You're killing me! I feel like I'm sitting still 😉 Looks great!
  18. Love the heated seats! That's great. I like the contrasting stitching too. You'll need to add to this thread your wiring details for your seat heating when it happens
  19. Quadruplets
  20. Triplets 😉
  21. This is a duplicate

    I would like too but won't be able to make that happen. If I had a running car, I might have made it an adventure but won't happen in time
  23. I'm afraid he is probably looking for a very rare part unfortunately. He probably aught to look on the Japanese auction sites. I suspect the rest of the world got the Euro / JDM model
  24. I have found that on many locations the harnesses already have small bands of tape at the junctions. I also believe the original loom tape had some adhesive on it. The residue is on the wires, the ends didn't have additional wrapping to prevent raveling and it makes a noise when unwrapping that sounds like old adhesive.
