demco32 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I understand the thought about that spring, sir. so it's not an original part. Sometimes there is no other option if parts are missing on the car an can't be found. Duplicate is the only option left but still drawling's and exact measurements are necessary if a perfect duplicate has to be made. If you have the measurement for the linkage on top of transmission for the free wheel unit it would help, I assume you have it because you made it. OCPNW.com I sent an email for the transmission kit. Steele Rubber , sent an email for catalogue and order parts. Thanks for info, Ted. I agrie with you , about the Chevy idea but it is personal taste I believe. Owners of a Chevrolet like there cars also. They look similar to Oldsmobile but personally I think the Oldsmobile is better build and equipped. I think Chevrolet was more profitable for GM to sell than Oldsmobile so better advertisement make better sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demco32 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Dimensions for the oil filter would be of great help as I'm going to duplicate a filter with replaceable filter inside. But I would like to have an original look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chistech Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 It’s coming out tomorrow.. what front lock? Do you mean the catch for the hood latch wire? Dimensions for the filter, 4 1/8” diameter and 5.5” high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demco32 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Yes sir, for the hood. On a photo I can see how they look like and the exact position. Ok, now I know how the filter element should be is size. 4 1/8'' = 10.47 cm and 5.5'' = 13.97 cm. Thanks. What do you think about the pilot ray lights, sir? I've seen on an Oldsmobile pilot ray lights but only 1 light was on the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demco32 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 what is the diameter for the oil lines on the oil filter, Ted? I'll start working on the oil filter with a interchangeable filter inside. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demco32 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 There was some slack in the king pin in the hole of the front axel. Not good, and the only way to repair would be replace the axel or bore out and place bushings. Not easy to keep the axle in correct way on the milling machine. Next step with reamer to have correct diameter for king pin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demco32 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The interchangeable oil filter is used in an Audi A6 TDI from 1997 and later. I recessed the filter in the lid so it is in center. When I have the parts for the oil lines and know the sizes I can drill a hole in the center bolt so clean the oil can leave the filter back to the engine pan There is some space between the upper lid and the filter so oil from the engine can enter the filter. Question for Ted. Do you know the sizes and name for the connection parts that are used on the cupper oil lines, sir? I'm not so good in these sizes. We have metric and I would like to have as original as possible. The oil filter will look almost like original and because original filters are not available anymore I believe it is a good solution to have an oil filter. I don't like having the engine running with no filter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demco32 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 A question for Ted. Do you know the sizes and name for the connection parts that are used on the cupper/ brass oil lines, sir? I'm not so good in these screw thread sizes. I'm used to metric. There is like a brass or copper tube part in the middle of the filter where the small oil line go in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demco32 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 7 hours ago, JV Puleo said: Demco, What is your technique for bending copper tubing? There are tools that have grooves that the pipe fits into to bend it into the correct bend. If there is no tool with the correct tube diameter, I make a mold into which the tube fits on the lathe. a bit like the thread but much wider and deeper to fit the tube. With a thin-walled copper tube I fill it with fine sand so that the tube does not bend flat when bent around the die or tool. tools for bending brake lines are also a good tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Puleo Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 That is about what I had in mind. I have a bending tool but I also have some to make that will require a smaller bend than the tool makes. I'll have to bend 1/4" and 1/8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to bend 1/4" and 1/8". 1/4" = 6.25mm is like a fuel line 1/8" = 3.12mm is like a brake line. There are tools on the market for bending. https://www.remleidingshop.nl/product/remleiding-buigtang-tot-90-mini/ https://www.remleidingshop.nl/product/professionele-remleiding-buigtang/ If these tools are not sufficient you have to make your own bending tool. I would go for a metal rod in diameter that you need for the bend, mill the spiral grove in it so it is possible to get you bend tube free from the tool. We have fine white sand that could be used to fill the tube and prevent from become deformed during bending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV Puleo Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) You may be able to buy the balls and replace them in the ring. I don't know the construction of that ring but not long ago I sold a friend two or three of the original bearings from my car. He'd made new races and centers but needed the rings with the balls. The balls were readily available but he needed my old rings to mount them. Edited October 10, 2023 by JV Puleo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
