    WTB Temperature Retard Switch

    Thank you for your response bmwski. Unfortunately, I went ahead and purchased one from WN after sfdon pointed it out (not sure how I missed it in my search). Hopefully I'm all set with injection components now. Best regards, Rich

    WTB Temperature Retard Switch

    I need for a 1972 3.0CSi, what I believe is called the Temperature Retard Switch. The photo shows the switch with the connector end broken off. A working used one would be fine. Thanks!

    Never seen that before!

    Thanks autokunst. I like the look too. Good eye on the bumperettes.

    Never seen that before!

    Thanks Chris! Could well be. If so, there’s no evidence inside the bumper of the patch. As Autokunst noted, the bumperettes do have the place for the rubber.

    Never seen that before!

    Front bumper without rubber corner strips and rear window shades that match the blue upholstery. This is on a 72 CSi originally delivered to Italy. If anyone has any facts about these as to whether these were aftermarket or only in certain markets or whatever, I’d love to know.

    Does anyone have any highly recommended mechanics in Connecticut (preferably Stamford/Fairfield county area) for a 3.0 CSI? Expect head gasket, plus tuneup and brake work. Thanks for any input!!

    Brake booster gasket question

    Thank you very much for your very helpful response, deQuincey. Sorry for the late reply but I just now was able to get back to the forum. I hadn't intended to pull it apart there, but that plate is sandwiched between the booster and the mounting bracket so when the nuts were removed it came...

    Brake booster gasket question

    Thanks you, Ohmess! I'll give it a try tomorrow. The mating surfaces aren't flat so it seemed like it could have made to permit air in thru the foam.

    Brake booster gasket question

    When removing the brake booster, the plate on the one end had a gasket that appeared to be a fine foam material that disintegrated to dust when disassembled. Can anyone shed light on the material used? I see no reference to it in any catalogs or manuals. Is it open cell, closed cell? Is it...

    That should hold it! The terminology for the parts is different than the manual I was using but I guess that's what I'm looking for. Many thanks!

    Stub axle to drive flange torque setting?

    The manuals I have say to tighten the flanged stub axle nut to torque spec but I can not find any listing for that spec in the tables. I am referring to the nut to the right in the cross section below. What should it be? Thanks!!

    Looks like early E24 calipers might be a drop-in replacement...

    I just did exactly what m_thompson suggests for a rear caliper. You will need to reuse two of the little internal o-ring seals when you add the spacers from your current caliper or purchase new seals. RockAuto.com had a couple of brands that were very reasonably priced. Rich
