Re: Cooling Fan Rebuild or Replacement?

I replaced the fans on the 99 with 2 x 10" Davis Craig units. Found the newer fans cool better and draw less current so hardly know when they turn on :thumbsup:

Re: Ducktail spoiler 99/900 hatch

Hi Dennis

Sorry to threadjack but if you are getting creative with carbon fibre I wouldn't mind a set of these made for the 99 / 900.

Re: Broken Saab 99 Turbo Pistons – Options?

Thank for the replies.

The suggestion of getting a local manufacturer to make a new set was a great idea that I did not think of. Luckily one of the pistons is still OK and could hopefully be used as an example to remanufacture a new set.

Broken Saab 99 Turbo Pistons – Options?

Hi All I finally got around to investigating the poor running issues of the 5 door 99 Turbo. A compression test revealed the following results: 1. 120 2. 140 3. 140 4. 70 Pulling the motor out and inspecting the pistons revealed that 3 of the 4 pistons were cracked! Unfortunately, I do not have any ...

Saab B Motor engine stand bracket drawing...

Hi All Does anyone have a drawing with measurements for the special engine stand bracket that is required to mount a Saab B motor to a generic engine stand. Now that I have most of the parts to put the engine back together, it would be easier if I could mount it on the engine stand - hence the reque...

Saab 99 Water Pump Impeller substitute material?

Hi All. Julian mentioned in another thread that Saab possibly replaced the cast iron water pump impeller on the factory 99 16V with one made of aluminium. This raises the question as to whether there would be any real world benefit for existing 99 owners to replace their existing impellers with one ...

If you have any of the chrome bumper trim strips to suit a 1978 Saab ( the one that has the rubber insert), I would be interested in that !!

Thanks

Re: Motorsport Shifters - Group Buy

Hi Drew Neil, do you have a photo of how close the A-pillar reinforcement tube comes to the steering wheel? I will probably have to add that to my cage eventually, along with a tube along the sills, and it looks like a very tight fit to me just eyeballing it. Sorry for the late reply but I had to pu...
