Decided to "figure out" how to disassemble and reassemble the seat frames so I can get them powdercoated and the spring and arm plated.
Once this little roll pin comes out, it's all easy. Getting it back in with the spring compressed is a bitch! But I was able to figure out how to easily do it without damaging the rest of the frame. Reassemble the parts with the spring clipped into the hole in the back of the crossmember. The trick is to use a punch and get the pin in further than normal with about 3/16 exposed. Now take some electrical wire (about 20 inches), 18 gauge works, loop it around the bend of the spring. Tie it together and make a big loop you can pull. Place the frame on a secure surface (or on the floor with a rubber mat underneath) and pull the spring over the pin. Now take the punch and pop it out from the backside so the spring has more pin to grab. Note: If you send of the seat frame to get painted or powdercoated, there is a plastic bushing that easily taps out with a socket. There is also a black hard plastic bushing where the adjuster arm goes initially through the frame. Pop those out, media blast everything, powdercoat, and you can have a new seat frame.

I have the MGA and the TR6 sideways in the 3rd bay... the MGC-GT is coming out of storage in a week or so and it will take my winter parking place in the garage.

Met with a potential new body/paint guy today. Discussed the work I wanted done and repainting. Discussion went well, but he is 4 months out. No biggie.
Took some more photos to document what I want done to the body (welding, repair blemishes, etc.) Dissasembled my 2 seat frames to get parts to the plater and powder coater. Restripped my dash frame. (removed the new dash top pad, and bottom pad). Cleaned and treated the vinyl. Spent 2 hours removing all the double-sided tape on the dash face. Did you know that your Chassis number is on the bottom inside of the dash frame?

Stripped some 1970 911 axles, that I scored from a dismantler.
These have the rare 40mm thick CV joints (69-71 years only). Combine these with some Sway-aways axles and you have a REALLY strong axle. Around October 71, they switched to "lighter" 32mm thick CVs. All replacement CVs are 32mm. These are hard to find. I've cleaned up the races and balls on 2 so far, and they are clean (no pitting or scoring). Yippee! Bad news is that one of the Boot flanges is a mystery part? Looks like someone turned it or banged it with a hammer to make it fit the stock boot. To complete this, I need 2 moon washers and a clean straight 108mm boot flange. Can anyone help?

40mm is not rare. It is 930 turbo. Easy to find.
Parts you need here at a good price. http://www.pacificcustoms.com/porsche-930-...moly-axles.html http://www.pacificcustoms.com/cv-joints-and-axle-boots.html |

The '69-71 CVs are 4 bolt with the 2 roll pins. (I realize the others can be adapted). |

CV boot Flanges at Pacific Customs are also 6-bolt. I need 4 bolt. See the pics.

I realize that... or I'd just buy one.
But it's not impossible to find someone with a used one available that they aren't using... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

You could do one of these and weld up the unwanted holes...

If I can't scrounge one up, I may have to. I've seen these and other 6-bolt loose flanges on evil bay.
Thx, Q |
