Jon, I'll schedule your seminar for three minutes. You do have to cover diagnosis, location, prep, acquisition of said secret sauce, application, and the unique philosophical basis for pursuing a clean garage floor under vintage German cars.

If I could get Drei Bond single packs, I'd put them in the swag bags.

I've actually purchased Drei Bond 1209 on AutohausAZ. It's not cheap, but its not $30 either...

1-amp fuses are good swag bag items.

That's a different Drei Bond product....at least the tube color and descriptive name is different. But if the fine print on the tube says "Cures faster in presence of oil" ...then get it. EDIT: After enlarging the photo I see "oil contact speeds curing". I'd get it.

I took this photo this evening....It's a little difficult to see the hazy clear silicone, but it is obviously not leaking.
Nice work!!!

Default Question

how bad is it to run a late model auto S4 without the heat shield for the transmission reservoir?
(it is next to the rear muffler)

The ATF in the reservoir is sure to help keep the exhaust heat from melting the plastic right away.




I'd figure something out as a temporary shield while a replacement came from 928 International. Might be as easy as a reformed beer can and some safety wire.
