Hello out there....my car has been dying after getting a good warm up but starts the next morning. The tell tale symptom is that the fuel pump does not run when the stall occurs and even after hours of cooling off it still does not start...but it does in the morning....???
So talk on the street is the relay board is too old to work properly.....the description of 914 LTD's improved and rebuilt relay boards matches the symptoms of my car perfectly so as soon as I scrap up the money I will buy one.....meanwhile I have two spare relay boards and one looks really good. Is there a way to bench test the relay board before I swap the boards ?? These cars sure keep you on your toes and a relay board with fresh soldered connections sure sounds appealing so Brad is holding one for me. So back to the swap out....I hate to go to the effort just to install another faulty board. Look forward and appreciate any and all comments and help....thank you very much!!!! gg |

The word is 'swaged', not swagged.
But I dont think they are swaged, just riveted. |

The word is 'swaged', not swagged. But I dont think they are swaged, just riveted. Indeed you are correct. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) The swage is the tooling used to cold form the metal into what becomes the “rivet” head we can see. Either way, the result is a sound mechanical deformation that drives the post outward within the hole and compresses downward onto the copper trace. |
