Italian car touring in Hiroshima (The original blog was written on 11th Nov. 2007)

Today (11th Nov. 2007) I joined the touring event with Italian cars held in the mountain area in Hiroshima.  
It began to rain on the way unfortunately, however, due to the effort of the organizer lots of Italian cars were gathered from Hiroshima and Shimane area.



By the way, it was really nice to watch the Alfa Romeo running in the autumn leaves.


It was a pity that I joined with Renault 5 because my “onboro ALFA” was not able to run yet of course.  I would like to join with my Alfa as soon as possible!
But I enjoyed the exciting driving of Alfa Romeo and Lancia by my eyes, ears and smell.


I was also surprised that there were lots of Alfista living very near to my house.
It would be really nice to be able to keep in touch in future!

Finally I really appreciate Mr. GTA and Mr. Duetto for giving the fabulous time to me.

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #2: tough match

I disassembled the removed clutch master cylinder. And I found that the piston was heavily rusted. I tried to hit it with a hummer , Pushed the piston using the vise clamp like this.  However , the piston was heavily sticking by rust and it could not to be moved today. The brake master cylinder was replaced in the past , however , the clutch master cylinder was not.  Therefore , the condition of the clutch master cylinder might be worse. Tentatively , I would spray the rust-penetration lubricant from both sides of the piston and try again in a few days. If it doesn ’ t work , I would give up the overhaul and order the new part.

Tip to repair rubber parts

I disassembled the rear axle before.  There had been no progress on it because I started the repair of the fuel tank during my summer holiday. While painting the fuel tank , I repaired the torn rubber boot of the parking brake wire. I guessed it didn ’ t cost high because it was small rubber part.  But I wanted to try the repair method I read on the magazine article before. This was the condition before the repair.  The rubber was torn apart and separated almost. I used this self-adhesive type butyl tape.  I pasted lots of small pieces of the butyl tape on the back side of the rubber boot.  As time goes by , these tapes would melt and stick together.  After this I applied plenty of adhesive “ Super X Black ” on the rubber boot.  On the magazine of MOTO MAINTENANCE , I read the article that the motorcycle seat was repaired with this method.  So , I wanted to try it. After drying 1 day , it became like this....
