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....

Brake master cylinder overhaul #1

I started the overhaul of the brake master cylinder after the clutch slave cylinder. This day ’ s work was removal and disassembly of the brake master cylinder. My “ onboro ALFA ” is early type ( Mk. I ) 1750GTV RHD.  The brake master cylinder is made by BONARDI and it is installed on the frame under the floor together with the clutch master cylinder ( this is made by BENDITALIA ) .

( These bolts were also fixing the clutch master cylinder penetrating the frame. ) ( 3 ) & ( 4 ) Separate the linkage rod from the brake pedal , and remove the brake master cylinder together with the linkage rod. ( The linkage rod and the pedal were fixed by a split pin. ) ...

Fuel pump (The original blog was written on 15th Aug. 2007)

Although the gas was refilled , the gas didn ’ t come to the carburetors.  The electric fuel pump was working , but it still did blank beating.  I replaced the pump soon after I bought this car…but it was about 20 years ago!  So , I decided to replace the electric fuel pump to new one , and to change the location of the pump from the engine room to the trunk room ( because for the electric fuel pump to push the fuel is better than to pull the fuel ) . I bought the Mitsuba electric fuel pump , fuel hoses and a fuel filter by auction and installed them in the trunk room.   ( The wiring is tentative.  But I am ashamed because the trunk room is so dirty… ) However , even the new fuel pump was working well , the fuel didn ’ t come.  I guessed that the inlet of the fuel sender unit in the tank was sticking.  I remove the unit from the tank and found the rusty unit and its inlet was perfectly blocked by the rust ( I forgot to take the pictu...
