Rubber cover repair for the parking brake cable

I repaired the broken rubber cover of the parking brake cable that was attached at the connecting point with the rear hub.  I used the self-adhesive tape and the adhesive, which were same ones as I used to repair the rubber cover on the right side before. 

The rubber cover was completely separated.  The damage was severer than the previous right side one.



The self-adhesive tapes were pasted on the back side of the bigger piece.  I made some cuts in the tape to fit to the conical shape of the rubber cover.


The adhesive was applied on the surface to fill the gap.


Next was to connect with the smaller piece.  How should I do?


I connected two pieces with tapes and made the shape.


It looked okay.


Finally the adhesive was applied on the surface again to complete.  It seemed flexible and durable enough.

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #3

I was still struggling with the sticking piston of the clutch master cylinder.

When I was drilling the piston halfway , I didn ’ t have any specific idea , however , I thought to tap the piston to make the thread.  I started to turn the tap handle , and I felt the feeling that the piston was moved.  So , I tried to pull it , and then suddenly the piston was removed from the cylinder. 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 )
