When I bought a sheet of rubber from DMT, I overlooked the clips. Their pre-cut shields come with clips, are they the same as these? Did they come from the factory looking like that? I guess I'll get some. I wish they were black. But they are stainless, so no rust I guess. I was thinking...

I recently did this for my '67 Monaco front drums, probably looks exactly the same as your '65. Separated the hub from the drum, pressed in new studs (could have used the old ones, but the new studs were like $1.50 each). Removed the bearing races and installed new races and bearings and...

If you're buying new 7-leaf packs when you're car originally had 5 or 5.5 leafs, then the argument about obtaining "properly" heat-treated leafs that match the original factory specs is thrown out the window. You have no argument that you end up with a better or longer-lasting or more proper...

https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenance-and-tech/re-arching-leaf-springs-a-lost-art/ An article written in 2006, so almost 20 years ago. In it, they say: "Few companies have the equipment and know how required to heat-treat a spring. This makes the process much more costly than cold...

I can't believe that something as structurally simple as a set of leaf springs can't be remanufactured / refurbished locally. Especially when you're in Europe. I fail to see where getting a new set of springs made by some certain special and unique company is that much better vs having your...

Austria

Type F supposedly has *NO* friction modifiers. I asked earlier if the clutch disks and bands are immersed in or surrounded by the ATF but nobody has answered that. How the ATF works in the valve body or the torque converter has got to be nothing compared to what the oil is doing at the bands...

Type F was around in the 60's yes? The late 60's, early 70's ? So why wasn't Chrysler dealers using it back then on mopar's ? Or were they? ------------------------------- Valvoline Type F ATF is an automatic transmission fluid that has been uniquely engineered to meet and exceed the...

I own several capacitance and inductance meters, but not an ESR meter. I am scratching my head over your use of it here. ESR is more important for caps that handle large current flows, such as in power supplies or speaker cross-overs. If you suspect that an electrolytic cap is bad, test it's...

When operating (ie driving around) are the bands and clutch disks immersed or surrounded by the ATF oil?

In early 2022 I took some deep dives into waxes, seeing what people were talking about. And the ceramic stuff. That took me to some forum sites focused only on detailing. Regarding ceramics, I came away with the impression that to do it right, the car must be insanely clean first, so prep is...

The 25% tax on cars (and certain other vehicle types) older than 25 years (HS code 9966.00.00) and cars older than 50 years (HS code 9989.00.00 - anything other than spirits or wine between 50 and 100 years old) went into effect on March 4. Anyone checking with Canada Customs before that date...

Up until 1973, the vast vast majority of bars would have been .96, and even police 440 packages were "only" .98. Imperials (50" length) were 1.02 / 1.06. HD suspension option always seemed to be 1.02 / 1.06. In 1972, Polara / Monaco went to 44" bars (?). Fury was always 44". In 1975...

Wow. FM - in 1966?

Yea don't connect anything to the base. Might need to just cut it right off so it doesn't pick up stray static. The options you're going to have with these are where the peak wavelength sensitivity is, and the radiation angle pickup, and that's a bit of a guess here.

BPV11 Data sheet: https://www.vishay.com/docs/81504/bpv11.pdf Digikey PN: 751-1003-ND ($1) I'd buy that for a dollar.
