    M90

    I had a 1:3.07 diff behind my M90 engine.....was not happy with it so changed to a 1:.2.45.......far better driving (just my opinion) The 3.07 was more suited to Motorway driving....very long in the legs. 110 kph @ 1800 rpm in 5th gear if I remember.

    Heartbreak-broken rear shock mount

    I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the OD of shock tower as I don't have a set of calipers ( I did say approx as I used a g clamp) All towers should be the same dimension in my opinion. Regarding the welds inside the tower.......if people read my previous posts I did point out the difficulty in...

    Heartbreak-broken rear shock mount

    Continuing on here........attached is a sketch using a 90mm or (3 1/2" in the old world) sch 40 BW cap. welded internally. I am not sure exactly the OD of the tower I measured mine around 108mm. I would assume the material thickness would be no more than 2mm....so the cap should just slide...

    Heartbreak-broken rear shock mount

    In Markos's photos the bottom or last is the one to get.....and is the one I used. It is what is called a "Slip On" welded fitting and as I said fits over the tower with about 1.5 mm clearance. The other cap is called a "Butt Weld" fitting and is designed as it says to butt up to the tower end...

    Heartbreak-broken rear shock mount

    a 16"x 9" rim (which is what I have on my car) is actually 10" wide as a rim is measured across each lip and the outside of each lip makes up 1/2" either side so that equals 10". My question to others is........regarding the internally fitted reinforcement cap ....to weld the unit in is going...

    Heartbreak-broken rear shock mount

    I used a standard mild steel schedule 40 pipe end cap. 115mm od x 33 mm high. (any petrochem guy will know what I am talking about) from memory it fitted over the top of shock tower and had about 1.5 mm clearance all around. (which is ideal for welding) I had the end bored out to just outside...

    Manual windows to power windows?

    Well I wouldn't call 7 seconds up and down for front and 5 seconds up and down for rear too lazy. So many people in a hurry these days.:cool:

    Manual windows to power windows?

    I converted from manual to power..........you need to have 4 relays..... 1 for up either side and 1 for down either side. I used the sardine can motors and have no issues at all. Also went for central locking which is great.
