Yes, the 1/10 mile or km gear slips on the axle; it needs instead to be secured to the axle on which it rides. This has been discussed a fair number of times; I've done it with 2002 and 3.0CS instruments, they are largely the same. Briefly: first you have to take the instrument from the...

Have a look here: https://metricmechanic.com/engines/ You're welcome But note the very recent post which I quote here "For those of you who know Jim Rowe I thought I would give an update. Last week he had open heart surgery and is now recovering at home. Give him a ring or send him a text if...

I learned long ago the First Rule of Parking in Suspicious Places: Never carry more than you can afford to lose. For me that meant driver's license only (no wallet) and no credit cards (learned that the hard way).

Bolted to the wall? NOT. Mount on a go-kart chassis and ..... Hmm, will need "some" brakes.

IDK if that purchase from Maui leaves me with the only running CS in Hawaii, or not.... I haven't seen another CS here in years. Only know of a 2000CS, semi-parked, nearby. However just got back from a visit to my daughters, one in San Diego, and the wife insisted we visit La Jolla Independent...

Right beautiful car; I love the air dam look; who made it?

Got some fiberglass on mine. I did a lot of glassing surfboards back in the day. It probably needs a bit of "refresh" now.

Yes that's what I was asking - where/how is the connection between body and dolly.

the green car doesn't have a trunk that opens? or does the rear window lift up, leaving one with a helluva lift over the "tailgate"?

But you gotta have a safety factor, so a dolly for holding 1000 pounds ought to have an ultimate capacity of 3000. Doing so will resist flex if you have an uneven floor... and (hint, pro tip, not mine) might keep distortion limited so you have an easier time reinstalling the windshield.

How do you address the points at which the body "perches" on the dolly? I see holes through the subframe, for instance, that would make a good place to set a stud, so the body can't be shifted on the dolly without lifting it more than the length of the stud... Do you pad the perch points with...

Looks real nice, very warm, very "wood" classic. Please provide some description of the wood work, veneer or solid, species, type of finish and how applied, and so on

Fire extinguishers have been the subject of significant discussion on this forum in years past. You can sit back and let others gather the information for you, or use the Search function. I've been close to several car fires. Cars (and bikes) burn quickly! I was able to put out two of those...

Y'all are very quick to condemn what you haven't seen in person (neither have I). From the BAT ad "The seller notes that the passenger-side front strut screws have been slotted and a steel plate is being used as a washer." There may/not be strut tower rust, we really don't know. It's odd...

I leather wrapped and stitched the stock wheel on my first 1970 2002a. Not with a fancy stitch, natural latigo leather color, some kinda woven fishing line, using a hammer and nail to poke the holes through which I ran the line. It's long, long gone, but it was fun and rewarding for a patient...

Isn't the cancel tab supposed to be opposite the little finger that pokes out of the turn signal apparatus, so you have to turn the wheel a certain amount for it to work? I've had trouble with mine... OTOH could you move the turn signal switch?

The "Old Pro" taught me that the clutch release bearing can be taken apart using two opposed screwdrivers, and the grease cleaned. If the balls and race are not dimpled or scored, regrease, reassemble and on you go. On the other hand, you have to remove the trans to get at it, no small...

my '69 2500 sedan had the greatest, lightest, smoothest brakes of any of the couple dozen older bimmers I've owned. It beat my wife's '73 Bavaria booster hands down, all my 2002s including '72 and '74 tii, 635CSi, 3.0CS, 2800Cs, all of them. All I can remember, nearly 40 year later, was that...

I've pulled my CS mirror on and off though not lately. I have an E12 mirror now, it's bigger and gives better situational awareness. They can be difficult to spring in and out. I found that making sure the spring loaded ball in the mirror mound actually slides back and forth like it's...

mmm, later style switches. IIRC with the earlier switches, the upper chromey bit latched onto the black rectangular housing below. You could pry them off and clean the switch innards, but risked breaking the little tabs that held them together. Once those tabs broke, your options narrowed...
