Hey all, Last spring I redid the 3 fiberboard panels in the trunk area of my Sonett. The original glue had let go and the boards were falling apart. I went...
Wait!! I know the answer! It just dawned on me- you probably can't get a bolt in the bottom hole once you move the exhaust header into place. Especially if...
... Actually, I've seen several cars with the MSS exhaust on which the bottom studs were replaced with a allen head screw. the origianl V-4s came with with...
Any one out there have any leads on a 1967 (or other interchangeable years) Sonett V4 chassis? I recently found #310 for sale, but the chassis is almost...
Eric, Taking out the studs is usually pretty easy. I just run 2 nuts down the stud, tighten them together and then unscrew it using the inside nut. Sometimes...
One thing you might consider, is after heating the stud melting wax into the threads. It wicks in and helps lubricate the threads. An old trick a Chief...
... _If_ you should have the misfortune of breaking a stud, we used to remove them from MG cast iron manifolds by using a very small tip on an oxy-acetelyne...
Or the Flying Wings. B-49 Flying Wing The YB-49 evolved from the unconventional XB-35 "flying wing; its development being prompted by a 1944 study of the...
I understand that the switch from driving on the left in Sweden to driving on the right was done over a weekend. Trucks switched on Friday, buses on Saturday...
It seems to me that on Saturday the trucks and buses would be having head on collisions. Would not all traffic have to switch at the same time? paul galanti...

A friend of mine has a 89 C900 with the 16v turbo. He's done some performance mods, and has since chucked 3rd gear in 2 transmissions. He's procrastinating...
... He needs to learn how to shift a non-Japanese transmission. Speed-shifting is not recommended in any SAAB transmission. Pause between gears next time. ...

... I've had four 99s. One belonged to a kid who had trashed the transmission before i got it, but I managed to nurse it along for three years. One didn't have...
... It would be interesting to know what the status of George Celedinas' '67 Sonett V4 is. I don't think he's driving any more and his son wasn't too ...
... As far as I remember, everyone switched side at the same time. But I was only 10, so wikipedia has to come to my help here. It says that it happened the...
... Thank you for that hint, I think. If I understand right what you are speaking about. One of the studs, that holds the exhaust pipe, in my SAAB96, has ...
It was a tired old joke, but nice to hear from someone with some memory of the switch. I can't imagine something like that ever happening in the US even when...
Hey Jonathan, Thanks for your advice. I would like to know the size (length) and thread pitch for the bolts. Eric in Vermont ... I have a bag of ... pitch....
Tom, I like that idea of using wax. Seems like I've heard it before. I've had people tell me to apply penetrating oil, then heat the part and the penetrating...
Well, I've had a tough few weeks vehicle-wise. First, I was doing some brush-hogging up back with my 1949 Ford 8N, and drove a stick right through the...
Interesting! His is #309, one number from the one that I found. Chip, do you know if there were any chassis changes from 1967 to 1968 that would prevent them...
