That ain't filth, that's gold paint. Bead blasting is surprisingly effective on oil filler caps, just make sure you shake all the beads out of the insides before re-installing.

Thread specific content: Today I built a 9293 tool:

Mount the roll cage on my track car and begin to re assemble all the electric components. Should order the polycarbonate windows

I've also been toying with adding a strut at the side to prop it open. I removed it of course for serious work, but anytime you have to pop the cover for a quick look it is a pain that it doesn't stay all the way up (at least on my car).[/QUOTE]

=================================================

Yes, 1/4" should work too.

Martin, no need to prop up cover. I installed a 2" wide velcro (backed up with glue) on the cover and underneath (where the cover hits when open). Works like a charm

Cool Fred - hadn't thought of that.

Still trying to remove the rear shocks pins...

I'm still on the passenger side and as the pin doesn't want to move in the hub, I'm at removing the hub from the car.

A lot of fun.

Just applied leather another brand of Leather Restoration goo to the interior. This version was Voodoo Blend from Surf City Garage. It definitely did a better job than the Armor All Leather Care Gel goo. Not perfect but looking better.

Finally found the source of my right front suspension noise (popping/knocking when turning at low speed.) The upper ball joint finally has enough movement that i could see. Time to buy a rebuilt Upper Control Arm from 928 Intl.

I did finally come up with a way to pry on the upper joint without damaging the boot. With the wheel off I used a bottle jack to load the suspension and take tension of the upper ball joint. I was then able to get my 12" bar inserted vertically with the toe of the walking foot slipped under the RDK wiring and under the edge of the joint housing on the control arm and the heel resting on the top of the spindle. From there it was easy to see the slight vertical movement of the control arm relative to the spindle. Below is a picture of the type bar I am talking about.

Replaced the OE twin horns with a Thompson's Air Horn.
Sounds awesome

Got my repaired drivers seat back from upholsterer - new leather and foam on bolster (http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/...h/IMG_1692.jpg). Starting to test if Leatherique products can do what is claimed for leather restoration.

Cool Fred - hadn`t seen that before. I like their tagline: `The best solution to being heard by those huge SUV's who drift into your lane.` Reminds me of years ago when I was passing a truck in Peugeot 304 (something that took miles and minutes to accomplish with a 1.3l engine) and was run off the road when he pulled out - despite the fact that I `stood`on the puny horn. I replaced it with air horns, but they always took time to spool up, so I wired then in parallel to a standard electric one. It looks like these Thompson`s should not suffer from `horn lag`

Cam covers coming off. Pictures this evening.

How about a video of the sound (if that makes sense)
