Much like my grandmothers recipe for Amish oatmeal chocolate chip cookies would have been lost forever if someone didn't take the time to write it down, it is similar that many of those on the site who comment or watch from a far have common sense low cost solutions to building a type 4.
Not really asking for your trade secrets or any self promotion, just common sense solutions that over the years have worked for you. Primarily want to hear folks low tech, low cost alternatives for repairing or rebuilding the type 4 or the 914. Anything as a permanent approved repair fix to a Macgyver fix that can get you by. Anything that works well in combination that you figured out on your own or with someone else's help. Again primarily looking for a dialog on low cost common sense technicis to type 4 repair and rebuild info. Cheap tricks. Thank you |

Anything as a permanent approved repair fix to a Macgyver fix that can get you by. Old trick from my dirt bike racing days: If you run lean and burn a hole into the piston, you can temporarily fix it by using a round flathead bolt and large washer and double nut it from below.
