Could I order a brake kit for a newer model c900 and expect it to fit properly? I have 18" 2008 saab Inca wheels. I dont expect I could get cad drawings of those? I would say yes, but do you have those 5 lug nut wheels? Did you leave the original axles. Is there some funky plate/stud converter...

The oil filter on the SAAB is the common as dirt 3/4-16 so there are lots of filters available that will fit on. The big filters used to fit great on the b-motors where the filter was down low with a lot more room around it, the H motor dosent leave much room for a larger filter. John Wirt told me ...

Don't worry, I saw he had that book "Welding for Dummies" so that should explain everything. But I'll remind him that welding makes things hot next time I see him. :laugh: Sorry , I was just being an ass. He uses a jig. Even with a jig, the order, location and direction of the welds will ...

Luke how are you keeping the plate flat? Welding only on one side has a chance for some warpage. I would think the gussets would add even more stress. Bottom line if the gasket takes care of the leak issue and does torque the trans all is good. Just a question. When I welded my 3 I bolted them to an...

You really want to do all the wiring yourself anyway, that way it's new and you know who to blame if it fails.


I'll be doing a standalone ECU, so doing the whole thing will be the right way to do it..

Why would raising you're ride height change you camber on a double wishbone car? Could the alternator problem be caused by belt angle or belt? Althought a four bar link the distance at the body and the hub are not the same lenght, so you still get an arc and thus a change in camber. Belt allignment...
