Re: Replace Water Pump - Still Leaks

That was exactly the problem, the impeller didn't need to go down all the way the second time. Second one I only brought down enough to clear, works like a charm. I'll let you know in 22 years how that replacement one held up, because that's how long the one in this guy's engine lasted since the las...

Re: Replace Water Pump - Still Leaks

Fixed!

Old (guy bought it years ago) carbon graphite upper water seal shattered inside the block when I pressed the impeller on.

Tore it back down, replaced with a later style rubberized seal I got from a Triumph supply shop. Works like a charm.

Best,

Replace Water Pump - Still Leaks

I'm kicking myself for not posting this this morning after I finished the job, since a lot of people will miss the post now. '78 EMS came into the shop, owner had a new in the bag Saab water pump kit, with the impeller and drive shaft to replace his ailing one. He sometimes had leaks out the weep ho...

Re: 99 Ansa dual tips NOS

I am signing lease paperwork for new apt in LA tomorrow, and it's gonna be tight for me for a while, thanks for the offer though. I'd love to have it.

Maybe list on SaabCentral, lots of the UK 99 guys would go nuts I bet.

Re: 99 Ansa dual tips NOS

Really, no one bought it?

I think it's awesome, and period correct all the way home, but shipping from PA would kill it for me.

You wouldn't happen to be going to SOC?

Re: Wanted: cheap / junk early C900 E-Code *housings*

One's a start, and would at least tell me if they'll fit. Sometimes single lights pop up on eBay, or I can troll around at the Owner's Convention if I make it up there. I should have had you wait to send my shirt and thrown them in together!

Re: Wanted: cheap / junk early C900 E-Code *housings*

The part you want reflective slowly becomes not-so reflective. Well, they all do that slowly but without protection from the elephants it happens at an accelerated pace. Sprightly elephants would be bad. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on them. My reflectors are in great shape, so hopefully I can get some...

Re: Wanted: cheap / junk early C900 E-Code *housings*

Thanks Luke! Make sure you seal the cuts in the buckets when you're done. Leaving those open to salt/humidity destroys the reflectors. It's a good thing I'm moving to LA!!! :fuckyou: <--- (Always wanted an excuse to use that one) Thanks though, I will try to figure something out. It messes up the ba...

Wanted: cheap / junk early C900 E-Code *housings*

I have a set of cherry e-codes to put on my modified '85 900T, but I have my FMIC plumbing routed behind the headlamps and had to cut into the stock buckets to get them to fit. I don't want to cut up my nice (and only) set of e-codes just to find they won't fit. I'm almost positive the reflectors cl...

Re: Pin Mount Jackstands for Rally Service

Thanks! That answered my question. I've only really been around weenie tarmac-only cars in the paddock, but those look nice and simple (and cheap).

Re: Pin Mount Jackstands for Rally Service

Luke, How hard can you push/lean laterally on the car with it up on your pin stands? Is it just a tube receiver that they slide into, and all the weight of the car shears against the base of the pin (where it presses into the stand) and any lateral load bends the pin? Do you have a shot of the recei...

Re: Window Seals and Speedometer Cable

Check the catalogue on http://www.skandixusa.com , they are carrying reproduction outer window scrapers in the 'body' section, $25 per side though. Not sure where to look for speedo cables, I'd try all the usual parts suppliers, and maybe East of Sweden, Elkparts, Elite (pricey), or any local yards ...

Wanted: Sport & Rally Logo

Does anyone have a vector graphic file or high res black & white graphic of the Sport & Rally logo they'd be willing to share with me? We have a little laser cutter at school I would like to use to cut some vinyl graphics on before I graduate. If no one has one I will just scan one or tweak ...
