Rebound stopper strap replacement: Assembly

Painting the metal parts of the rebound straps with remained POR tank sealer was finished.



After drying the paint I started the assembly of the rebound stopper straps.


To connect the double layered strap with the metal plates and bolts was little bit difficult because the strap was very solid and difficult to align the hole position.


It was easy to insert 1st, 2nd and 3rd bolts.  However, I struggled to insert the 4th bolt into the metal plate hole.  After several try and error, I fixed the position of the strap and metal plate with tie-wraps and succeeded to connect the strap with 4 bolts.



The other side could be assembled smoothly with the same way.


By the way, these were the vinyl packaging with Alfa Romeo logo for the new straps.  These are just wastes for the normal people, but for me it looks nice and it is difficult to throw away always.

Finally I could extract the rusty piston! I observed the extracted piston.  It looked there was no risk of the leakage of the fluid because the hole I made in the piston was not penetrated.  Thinking the function that this part only holding the rod connected with the clutch pedal , it could be reused if the hole would be filled by the hard material. However , before repairing the holed

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #4

The overhaul of the clutch master cylinder , which I succeeded in the removal and repair of the piston with solder ( probably ), has been still continuing.  The master cylinder was disassembled and all parts were cleaned.  The condition of each part was not bad. In the last week the cylinder and rod were painted. Assembly started.  I checked the condition of the rubber parts originally used comparing with ones of the repair kit.  And I decided to use the original ones because the rubber was not deteriorated yet and the quality looked better than the repair kit ’ s one. Always the assembly is fast although I always struggled with the disassembly. Before After The overhauled master cylinder could be operated smoothly.  And I believe the appearance also became cleaner. ( My original blog was written on 26th Jul. 2009 )
