F40 Turtbocharger waste gate test
This is a pressure operated waste gate was sent to us for checking-after the catalytic converter melted down. The diaphragm was claimed likely damaged using smoke check, and a leak was diagnosed. With chunks of molten alloy in close proximity, they wanted to be sure it was operational. We disassembled it completely, and cleaned to finally verify that it is all functional.

Chronometric tachometer movement-duplication
Просмотров 177 часов назад
After not being able to make the delicate escapement mechanism parts in a ancient SMITHS chronometric tachometer movement in a 1934 Peugeot Dailmont, we were looking for a replacement movement that would duplicate the unique "Stepping movement" of the needle mechanical chronomeric tach's movement. Our close friend and electronic GURU came up with this. This fits as a 12 v 4 cylinder version rea...
Fuel gauge and sender 6V Pos gnd
Просмотров 61День назад
As per description, this fuel sender and gauge are not matched. To bad. The resistance needed on the sender to get full sweep on the gauge is 140 okms. This sender is only 125 ohms. ANY SOLUTION? This is the second unit we have tried .

We have tested all semiconductors on the board. Some we had to remove out of circuit for testing. Customer concern was "No Blower Motor Function". We mocked-up the assembly, and found all parts good and operational. There is ONE single white wire that we know little about dangling off the circuit board. We advised our customer to trace it back. We SUSPECT it is a thermo sensor. THAT could be th...
Toyota 2000GT wiper motor test
Просмотров 101Месяц назад
This dual field wound two speed Nippon Denso wiper motor is quite complex in design. The rotating clock motor switches on this unit are dual track whereas most wiper clock motors are single track. The second field winding is a "Shunt" winding that is engaged in addition to the primary forward field winding to oppose magnetic force and operate slow speed. Customer reports only "Humming noise" wh...
246 Dino windshield wiper motor variable speed
Просмотров 68Месяц назад
We have been repairing these versions of Magnetti Mareli wiper motor for many years as both a variable speed, or two speed version. This specific motor was "Toast" inside- requiring total rewinding of both armature and fields. Even a new brush support was custom fabricated due to its need-and otherwise unavailability. The variable speed of these motors is more pronounced and visible when wipers...

500K Mercedes Wheel Covers in our custom press
Просмотров 3582 месяца назад
These spun aluminum wheel covers have been dry and wet block sanded on our rotating "potters wheel" using progressive grit sand papers to flush and even surfaces, then buffed with Brown compound using our 3 phase polisher seen in background. Now, we are fitting the chrome plated thrust plates which sit in a recess that you see here as we apply these dies and spacers on a 20 ton hydraulic press ...
1959 Cadillac trunk closure motor assembly
Просмотров 1482 месяца назад
After prior repairs to a 50's Caddy trunk opening/closing motor, a critical plastic insulator phisically broke, likel from age related weakening- yet not in our hands to verify. Our good customer actually researched and FOUND a 3D duplicate plastic insulator from Shapeways on line! GREAT INVESTIGATION! However, other related components were installed incorrectly as addressed here in the video. ...

Aluminum refinishing of spun wheel cover PART II I have heard it said that wet sanding with anything less than 60 grit paper will not necessarily " cut the mountain tops off to the level of the valleys" so -to-speak. Finer papers tend to "cling" to the valleys due to a sort of "hydraulic vacuum" created between the paper on the block and the wet surface. So, when dealing with only thousandths o...

We re-cast the mushroom shaped plastic caps that originally "Snapped" onto the one clamshell side, was cas-in around furrells on the steel axel pin on the other side of pin. By design, the central steel axel shaft is swaged into one arms steel hole, and axel freely rotates on t...
Maserati Reverse consol testing
Просмотров 94 месяца назад
This is only ONE of several similar reverse consoles that use the same internal components used on both Ferrari and Maserati. Their common failures are related to shrinking plastic that puts the micro-switches out of range of the lever action of the T handle. Frustrated users pull harder and harder on the T handel- to gain function eventually breaking internal components that render the switch ...
BCD electric fuel pump restored
Просмотров 6204 месяца назад
This pump is used on Ferrari, Lancia, and some early fiat 124's. Is is not a "Wet " pump- as are so many fuel injection pumps that are cooled and lubricated by having fuel traverse directly through the armature and windings. It is a low pressure (5psi) pump having isolated pump chamber from the motor. It is typically used as a pump for carburetor supply or primary lift pump supply to main for f...

Lou arrived, joined us, accepted a burger and listened to our discussion. Then, In perfect Lou 'boolean logic', "if the engine has the correct parts and what you say is correct, you will find the needle valve seat has moved up slightly". That was 2014, I still ride that old BSA often and aways smile and think back on the day Lou Brero fixed my bike. Thanks Lou :-)
