Steve,

Thanks so much, that's all I need.

Kind regards, Manfred

My ’72 2+2 is equiped with a manual metal sunroof “Sky-Top (Hollandia) EZ-Glide”. The pictures below have been taken before starting the restoration. https://i.postimg.cc/26jf287Y/RoofOld1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RZc5mnP9/RoofOld2.jpg In the meantime, I have disassembled the sunroof, detailed every...

However, it is quite straight forward to construct the foam from scratch.

Colin, that sounds correct. In my application, ('72 V12) the line extends to the engine bay and feeds the gas through a charcoal canister (which you don't have)

Yeas, copper is what I have, too.

I have used the specs below for my calipers. I can't recall where I found it and I have to reject any resposibility if you use them. - Manfred +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The torque values specified by Volvo for the P1800 calipers in 1961 were: Tig...

Does this help?

Dear, I need to find out which o rings I need to seal the axle shafts of my '72 S3. I have ordered o rings P/N 12473 according to the jag parts list. However, they are several mm smaller than the old ones and don’t fit in (fill) the groove in the diff housing. https://i.postimg.cc/cJBCJdjP/ORing1.jp...

Again, thanks for the replies so far. I have decided to fabricate my own lines since I have some experience from the past restoring my Mustang. I have even ordered a flaring tool that can do the required SAE bubble flares. Next thing is to order the correct junctions/brake line nuts. I can find 3/8"...

Thank both of you for your replies! So it looks like building the lines myself is the way to go. What confuses me is the necessary fittings and flare. As far as I understand, it is 3/8"-24 with SAE F flare. However, I have read that the DIN F flare which is more common here in Germany can also be us...

Hi,

I plan to replace all brake pipes as part of the restoration of my '72 2+2. Problem is, the usual suppliers only offer Cunifer brake pipes which (as I read) are not accepted by the German TÜV.

Does anyone know a supplier offering brake pipe sets made from steel pipe?

Thanks, Manfred

Hi Drew,

to my knowledge, the motor is a Lucas 15W and you are looking for LUCAS 54704696 brush set.
Try Google with that part number, it turns up some hits.

Rob,

don't forget to check your exhaust manifolds for a leak. It can sound much like what you describe.

Mark, below is a picture of the wiring of my '72 S3, maybe it helps. On first sight, I looks like someone has removed the black/white wire from the rightmost switch and replaced it with the black wire. Also, the isolation on that wire looks different from the rest. - Manfred https://i.postimg.cc/Dwv...

Hi Bernie,

not normal. PO has either bridged the otter switch (or OS is bad) or the AC radiator fan relay is continously on which again bridges the otter switch, makes the radiator fan relay which then runs the fans.
