murena restore

[GP]

Some brace bars are mounted inside the wings. Pictures attached.

I have a couple of rusty spares if you want them?

Thanks.
I found the bars among the galvanised spares. Now I know how to install them.

If I could speak French....   

Of course, but I just wanted to show you the font type. One of the pictures shows it quite well.

I have attached a PDF File which shows the font type and a photo.

The 2.2 shown is not a good reproduction but the murena and TALBOT - MATRA are pretty spot on.

Length and height of the TALBOT - MATRA is 520mm x 44mm.

Hope this helps.

There is almost no character with the same width size.
I think it's best to order this with the specific dealers to get it right.
I have seen more copy's that are a bad reproduction.
Especial the M and O are different.

Csaba the beer arrived and it made me smile.
The last time I was in hungary it was before the fall of the iron curtain.
This luxury beer was not for sale as far as I remember and most of the time I got Tuborrg witch I didn't like.
I always went to the local beerhouses and drunk the local misty beers.
I liked them very much.

Thank you I will wait for a nice day with good weather to drink it.

Cheers.

Thanks GP. Yes, it helps.

I have a friend who has equipment to reproduce the decals. I think it will cost some beers so it worth a try.

You are welcome.

'before the fall of the iron curtain' - That time I was a child, but still remember the old beers (only the bottles, not the taste).
I hope you feel much better.

Cheers.

Today I installed the small part in the headlight, tomorrow I will seal the glass. Thanks again.

Does the roof antenna have equivalence with any cars?
Otherwise I have to revive the original...

[Oetker]

This looks pretty close to the original.

Thanks. Today I saw some cars with similiar antennas so I will do some research before buying.

Some pictures of my project. Wiring is a bit tidy but getting better...

[Oetker]

Looks nice and tidy.
I filled my connectors with vaseline acidfree.
It makes the wiring water resistant.

Then take a piece oft bike tire.
It will prevent corrosion wich is a weak point in the connectors.


Some other pics of soldering new spades and relais.



Because of always back coming problems I did this.
Perfect solution.
No more probs there.

Took the connectors off and soldered the wires on the print.
Therefore I drilled holes and sticked the wires in.
On the upper side of the print I made tin bubble so there is no stress on the print itself.

Thank you for the tips.
I have already read some of them on the forum. The bike tube is a pretty good idea to replace the old shreddy rubber.

I got the engine mounting bushes at last.  
Those were the most difficult things to get so far...

I have a question concerning the gearbox mounting point. What should be there exactly between the mounting plates on the chassis?
There are inserts pressed into each side of the inner ring and I have some spacers with different thickness. But I can see something in the parts catalog, 'spielbegrenzer - 02021'. What is it?
