    S5 Brake Booster Repair Kit

    I did buy one, but the "consumable" part I needed wasn't in the kit. The "leather?" diaphragm, was totally eaten up. Ended up taking the booster totally out and replacing the master cylinder, so I didn't need it.

    Valve Adjustment

    Thanks for the replies and discussion. I'm essentially building a "new" engine. I got a NOS block from SS and had the head rebuilt w/the vizard mod. So I'm pretty sure the valve stem top is in good shape. I've pulled the rocker assembly off, quite a few times recently, 1 more time won't make...

    Valve Adjustment

    Thanks, Dan, Beam and Jim. I appreciate the replies. Yeah, Jim, I think you may have had it too tight. Only want it tightened until you feel a slight drag. 65Beam did you mean 0,010 and 0.012 in, instead of 0.012 and 0.014?

    Valve Adjustment

    Thanks for the old thread, it answered my question about how hot is hot and adjusting the valves 4 at a time. It was mentioned above a technique for adjusting them, while engine is running. Unfortunately the link is dead. I learned a technique, for this, in the 70's while keeping 60's junkers...

    Back-up light switch

    Thanks Ken. For some reason I was looking for it, on the shift housing, around the shift lever.

    Back-up light switch

    I must be getting senile or blind. I had no problem finding where the back-up light wires plugged into the trans switch, when I rewired my SV. I remember them still being hooked up, when I removed the trans, for my engine rebuild. Now, for the life of me, I cannot find where the wires plug in...

    new shows - Sunbeam on Overhaulin' Nov. 4th

    I was disappointed. 1 it was a Tiger not Alpine, 2 other than a bunch of repairing previous bad bodywork, a "cobra" repaint and some nice interior work, nothing new was done on motor or suspension, not even a rollbar. And they bought their parts from Victoria British. I've seen some much nicer...

    Am I the only one that caught the new "Counting Cars" show the other day? There was a guy w/a 67 Tiger, Danny wanted to buy. He seemed pretty hot for it. Is the owner 1 of our members? Ron

    Body Shop recommendation in Baltimore MD area for welding in floors?

    Hi Paul, I only have Blair's personal phone # and don't like to put that out on the net, for any spaming. If you could send me an email I'd be happy to send you his contact info. Sorry, if this sounds peculiar, but w/all the black hat hackers and spammers out there I just don't feel safe...
