  1. The "strength" of Aluminium is much lower than that of Steel or Ti, so if somethings breaks / shears it will be the Aluminium and not the bolts. One less worry for the use of Ti bolts.
  2. There are some nice ones with holes in them for the use of lockingwire.
  3. The battery light is part of the alternator excitation circuit, if you take it out the alternator does not work anymore. Most likely there is a problem with one of the (rectifier) diodes in the alternator.
  4. Hi Glyn, if / when you take the alternator out can you measure the outside diameter of the pulley for me?
  5. Based on the numbers above I would only be a little concerned about the shear strength of Ti. Based on the little information I could find about the galvanic corrosion between Ti and Al I would not be worried. however I could be wrong. Some usefull information: Ti Bolt Information If I read the above correctly you can substitute the 8.8 bolts for their Ti bolts. (maybe worth to give them a ring / send email)
  6. @Jacques or @Glyn Harper, can you still measure the diameter of the alternator pulley? I would like to check if I have the right one. (former alternator was not an original one).
  7. that was my thought also Glyn, bigger pulley means lower RPM. I also had to fit a longer belt on my engine with the AL49X alternator. (still not finished and not running yet). Once we know the pulley dimensions we might have an explanation / cure for the problem.
  8. Hi Jacques, @Jacques can you measure the diameter of the pulley on your original alternator ?
  9. I'm also curious / interested. Thinking about using the Nitron dampers with the LOTAC Eibach springs
  10. As new tire options (Original sizes) for my SE are just above the freezing point, I'm thinking about replacing the Original rims by 3 piece alloy items. The plan is to keep the same tire width in order to avoid any clearance issues. Anybody had any experience with rims made by Image Wheels ?
  11. thanks Travis, forgot about the sticker. Your pictures are a great help.
  12. Can someone tell / show me the proper routing of the purge hose (item 35, 37 and 38 section 44.05C) from the front of the intake manifold to the charcoal cannister. Many thanks, Freek
  13. I guess one of those Siemens PLC Modules used in those chicken barn electronics cabinets will make a perfect window lift control module.
  14. AFAIK it is the control module for the electric Aerial. (follow the wires)
  15. thanks very much Travis, much appreciated.
  16. Hi Travis, A CAD drawing of the normal bush insertion tool would be much appreciated. thx, Freek
  17. Anyone got a drawing (or something similar) for making a Bush insertion Tool? I found one for the ARB on the forum but not for normal bushes.
  18. Permabond A136 sealant (or similar) for the Cam Towers. A silicone based sealant will form a film between the Cam Tower and the Cylinderhead which makes setting the valve clearances a guess at best. No threadlocking on the Cam Tower bolts or the Crank Pulley Bolt.
  19. How about using a Twinsert Helicoil ? https://media.boellhoff.com/files/pdf12/helicoil-kits-repair-solutions-en-0180.pdf page 38
  20. Looking good, but how much weight does it put on the scale?
  21. Hi Barry Any special tricks for the oil priming? How did you do it? I also need to do it with my SE, been sitting too long in the garage.
  22. Barry, Judging by the picture of your MEMCAL, it looks like to be Original. No resoldering of the EPROM chip. My bet is that it is an original chip/code.
  23. according to the partslist not.
