DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Recent video on M539 channel was interesting. He took his seat covers to a company that makes the repair products for BMW & such like. They used a silicone product to take a mold of the leather grain then after it set, they heated up the silicone disc & pressed it into a repaired section to ...

I imagine it’s a small exemption for ex-police cars & similar, where they are modified when new?

For anything else, you’ll need proof including receipts from the workshop that did the work (diy good luck).

Smells like a scam to me!

That looks suspiciously like a VW beetle driveshaft (laster version has the pair of ridges to locate the inner end of the CV boot). Those are 415.5mm long and 33 splines. They take a CV with a 24mm wide inner cage so total length of spline is 27-28mm.

Not sure about this particular coil pack….
But “typically” modern coil packs fail due to overheating and often that’s because the spark plug has a wide gap (silly long service schedule) and the coil is straining to fire it. Last time I had a coil pack go, the plug was definitely due a replacement.

The instructions say it fits 365a and 365b?

You fitted the shim & spacer in front of the bearing?

Step1:
Check what the DVLA will say if you send them a V5 change to the capacity & cylinder count, and then if you think it’s likely they will ask to inspect the car, will they consider it a non standard chassis (welded engine mounts) and a modification under the rules.

I’d personally add the vac signal back and add advance where you have light throttle cruise. The charge is less dense so burns slower. One method is to optimise so you have the highest possible vac at a certain repeatable speed/location. This means you have the least amount of throttle to get the re...

Another design & print. Needs a slight revision as the air filter base plate has to be removable for access to fixing hardware. It was going to be bonded on. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230509/a4001848a3ba89d9b95afa958ab40f6f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230509/a2076c10fe4a15ea...

Poor layer adhesion. Either the printing temp was too low or the cooling fan running to high. Looks like it was printed with 100% infill which would be the right setting but the mounting flange shouldn’t have been brittle. Although if you torque down hard enough on plastic it will crush. If I need t...

I found some rods with matching left / right threads but only up to 90mm. A bit short for you. Another option is a turnbuckle like this (M5x80) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254544164511?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fE0Y93HTQce&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Q3lD0sWGQXu&v...
