Nothing fancy.. Does anyone have a clever solution for a Weber carb setup -- using hardware store stuff for linkage...I would rather not spend 40-50 bucks for their "kit". A digital pix or two would help-- winning idea wins a free new surfers T shirt (winners choice of size) with an estimated MSRP of well under $50.00 taxes and other incidentals not included. Shipping however will be included.. The usable winning idea is solely at the discretion of the judge. Also..what do you use for the the coupla inches of brake line coming out of the reservoirs. I have an exciting little piece of fuel line with two little hose clamps that I am depending on to stop me safely. I told wife we have a redundant system of the emergency brake right there between the two front seats.. She refuses to ride in the car and has gotten me more life insurance --completely paid for.. What a thoughtful woman.. BTW if you drop in there is always a cool beverage on ice adult bev or otherwise here on ice in San Clemente, California..

Thx CaliforniaOldvo http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1307159&rss=1 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:05 GMT Here is a copy of a year old "Rolling Magazine" http://vcoa.org/resources/rolling/sample.php There are ads for all the major vintage parts dealers so getting a brake master and other parts is no problem. I have bought from-- vintageimportparts.com, SwedishTreasures.com, ipdusa.com, all three have given good service, fast shipping and expert advice. There are other parts vendors that folks on the list like. Look through the magazine linked above for other advertisers. Brakes are important so do a good job on your dual brake system. dual meaning the master cylinder for hydraulics and your emergency brake as the fail safe backup. Good luck with your project. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1306313&rss=1 Mon, 6 Oct 2008 21:34 GMT Hi--I've never done this, but it looks easy enough as long as the old pad os fairly decent and you aren't too sloppy with the glue or adhesive. This sell has a ton of positive feedbacks. Look at the negative feedbacks to get a feel. This sell does a huge amount of business on ebay which give me confidence. I've been ebaying for a long time and would buy from this buyer. In fact a lot of PV parts are now listed by me on evay. Good luck and take a lot of pictures.. California Oldvo San Clemente http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1305939&rss=1 Sun, 5 Oct 2008 02:08 GMT Hi is the 544 turn signal stalk the same as the one in the 122? Thanks California Oldvo San Clemente, CA http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1305076&rss=1 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:05 GMT Solid clamps are better than cheese graters screw clamps and more solid than zip ties. Whenever I buy a used car I deduct $100 for every zip tie I see under the hood. As far as solid clamps..the needle nose is the wrong tool. Look up on ebay or the web hose clamp pliers. They have a cable like the brakes on a bicycle squeeze the handle and the remote jaws squeeze the clamp. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hose-Clamp-Plier-Tool-VW-Volkswagen-TDI-Audi-T-D-I_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43998QQihZ008QQitemZ180290567885QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW beats knocking yourself out with needle nose pliers slipping.. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1302999&rss=1 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 21:42 GMT 1. IPD vs SWEM Alternator Conversion on a B18. 2. Are there any recommended alternators for the IPD since they seem to let the installer make the choice. 3. Any major pitfalls, caveats. 4. Estimated time looks like 2-3 hours tops. Will allow double that for suprises. 5. Any other alternatives including homebrew? 6. Looks like a 2-2 1/2 banana job. on a scale of 1-5 bananas. Thanks all, CaliforniaOldvo San Clemente, California http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1301882&rss=1 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:24 GMT Hi- for my money (extra) the Optima is far and away the best battery ever. I have NEVER gotten stuck with an Optima..you get what you pay for.. Dollar for dollar, I agree that a WalMart battery is very good value. I haven't tried Costco but absolutely trust their customer service and return policy. They are very easy to deal with and bend over backwards. Sears has been a let down and they make you wait and always complain when I've had battery returns. I finally gave that car ('94 Mercedes) up. BTW all the major FLAPS (Friendly Local Auto Parts Stores) i.e Kragen, Autozone will do a quick battery check with computerized battery testinq equipment. Autozone has an array of loan tools and a check engine light checker for free loan. They usually ask for a drivers license or payment that they return. Keep all your receipts for anything you buy at FLAPS. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1295203&rss=1 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:36 GMT Hi here is an experienced straight nose panel-- some light interior rust as well as a little wear and tear. 10 bucks plus shipping. I will ship Fedex ground as they seem to be the cheapest these days. You can also come and get it for the same 10 bucks and save shipping here in San Clemente, California.

You have bought one of the most fun, comfortable cars on the planet. (hyperbole). I know, I have one of those too. That is right after a PV of course.. Just look up all the Saab recalls and make sure you have had them all done. For safety and getting stuck sake, keep an extra Direct Ignition Cassette and the correct tools to change it. This is the only major glitch in the car and there is a lot posted all over the web. This part seems to have an early failure rate and can fail without notice. On my 2002 9-3 this $400. w/ labor part has been changed four times in 6 years and 82K miles-I'm at war with GM and the dealer. Three replacements under warranty now they are balking. Shame on SAAB and GM this is the third and last one I'm buying. Apologies to all for non Volvo content. Belinda has supplied more great info on the list that has saved me tons of time and trouble. Best of Luck in mile high Denver!!

One is on the road and the other one is just hours away from being ready. Any substitute for fender lace and modestly priced windlace.. Also what size is the windlace and approximately how much is needed. Last but not least is the headliner.. Looking to buy or trade or alternate route suggestion... These are not show cars...
