Collected the wheels from being refurbished They look ok I think. I was torn between wet paint (in the original EVT colour code) or powdercoat in a close enough colour. Went for the powdercoat in the end as it was a one-stop-shop with blasting and coating. Look better with some light on them.  Really happy with the overall picture of wheels, calipers and bolts.  The refurbished wheels are a set of the Speedline versions. In thier finished state they're 8.1Kg. I'll need to weigh one of the French versions to see if there's any difference.  Also, bought the relevant tap to chase the threads in the hubs. Don't want my new bolts ending up like the old one's!  ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

I've had a rattle can made up before to do a quick refurb on a wheel and it's the right colour.  ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

Hope this still works.   Bloody nightmare getting it out and then back in again. Had to get inventive putting the two halves back together as the giant spring was trying to push them apart. Removed the clutch and brake pedal for access, could've done with moving the steering column too really. Back in now so just need to bolt up master cyclinder and bleed the brakes. ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

Why did you take it apart? And how easy is it to seal up again?________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Couldn't get the paint out of the join so opened her up  Had the two halves powder coated, after tapping out the seal/guide bush in the back. Reassembly was tricky. Drapped a primed ratchet strap over a bit of drainage pipe, lifted in the two halves (top bit waving about as it was balanced on the big spring), bit of card to protect the paint and ratchet away. Knocked the crimps in, that hold the two halves together, with a bit of plastic (small wire brush handle) and a hammer. Praying it still functions as they're unobtainium. ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

That sounds like a lot of work, I take it it needs to be an air tight seal around the crimped edge otherwise it won't work?When I took mine out it was pretty rusty in random blotches but I was able to sand it down, treat it and spray it but the edge kinda annoyed me a bit as I couldn't properly get into it. It is still available by the way at Peugeot Museum.....if you think it's worth 179 euros ________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

I will be interested to see how you get on with this too. Mines looking a bit worse for wear and probably full of brake fluid too. Top job for giving it a go and fingers crossed it works  ________________________________________ How to do a clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

The seal is the black rubber bit bottom right of 1st pic. It sits over a metal disc on the side you can't see. Day off tomorrow and I'm intending to bleed the brakes so we'll see if I've got away with it. ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

How do you rate the ACF-50? I was looking at it myself but wondered if it colours or otherwise stains the nice vapour blasting you've just had done? My steering rack housing is off just now getting vapour blasted and wondered if this stuff might protect it longer term________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

My steering rack housing is off just now getting vapour blasted and wondered if this stuff might protect it longer term It's the first time I've applied it so I'll keep you posted The chap that did the vapour blasting recommended it to keep the finish for longer.Doesn't colour despite it being purple. It's quite thick and comes out of the nozzle as a jet rather than a mist (which would be more usable). Spreads around easily though. Apparently a product called Sharkskin is more durable but I've got a litre of the ACF-50 so multiple applications aren't going to be an issue for a while! ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |
