  3. Vacuum nipple problem

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted · Edited by jamesw6810

    So, the plan is to remove the manifold i spent time putting on yesterday, fix the nipple back on with jb weld, once that is dry ill then coat it in some hight temp rtv sealent to stop any vac leaks through the welds, ill also probably lengthen the vac pipe so it sits at a deeper angle to put less stress on the welded joint, sound like a plan?

    Fitted my newly polished manifold today, all hunky dory until I the realised the nipple from the fuel pressure regulator into the manifold is missing, as in sheared off.....anyone any thoughts on reattachment of the vacuum line? It's sheared near enough flat with the manifold, slight lip left but not enough to attach the hose. Was thinking some h&b weld or similar?

    Yours looks good as it stands mate.

    I need to learn how to use a machine polisher as the paint on mine is shocking. There's no rust at all but the paint is awful, looks like it's had a blow over at some point too.

    Mulberry is by far the best colour we got in the uk, I wish we got Ginster yellow thou fans I love that colour!

    It does yeah but that has zero products, stripped bare with clay. It will look good when machined.

    Thing is when the mrs sees me doing it she bugs me to do her mg zt 260!! That is a big beauty to paint correct!!

    Right, got a few things on the agenda. No photos in this update at the minute i'm afraid though!

    Managed to locate the peice of under body trim by the rear bumper after a chance find on eBay. Still working on the highline wooden gearknob. I used some clear wood varnish but the finish was very soft and milky, looking for a better lacquer to protect it.

    Also received another cd player in the post today. Went for an old skool Sony head unit which is much more in keeping with the era of the car. Ideally i'd like to retrofit the Nokia dsp audio system, but can't seem to find them over here, only in Germany. Someone please point me in the direction of the setup if you see it though :)

    Plan on sound proofing under the rear bench still, waiting for some more dynamat after I stupidly threw the box away with it still in there. And i'm also still trying to secure a highline centre console, i've let 3 slip through my fingers now!

    Will have my days off from work next week so stay tuned for some more updates then. I'll be at Gti International tomorrow so hope to see some of you guys there then, i'll be on the club stand

    great choice on the old sony unit, good to see enhancements in keeping with the standard and age of the car;)
