Well done! Keep it up

 

[Old Iron]

I love how thoroughly your going through this one! Keep up the good work. Good save.

 

[76RA24]

think your done with the welder.... nope.
Left.

Right

3D printed the front speaker housings for 5.25" speakers.

didnt have any heavy poly for the water sheilds things on the doors so used more foam stuff.

and brace all the old speaker holes with more 3d print
should have printed a bit thinner but ohwell...

fronts got some aluminum braces

Might have to look for door cards in the future.

Dont remember if this came from the volvo or not?
any one have ideas?

looks to be a dead pedal... maybe from the wifes mk4 VW

Goes left of the clutch pedal, covers up all the wires that run down the firewall under the A pillar.

Just got it fitted last night!

carpets and adash are back in ... progress.

 

[76RA24]

back on the road.

now I am playing with a spare shifter I got from +Kardboard+ a couple years ago.

also working on 3d printed shifter cage bushings.

Also got the Shifter Pins and Collar
381526 1 Gear Selector Joint.
381528 2 Pin.

Will post the measurement pics, and install pics.

Hell yes, 3D printed cage bushings. I've done swaybar and endlink bushings in TPU and they're holding up great!

 

[76RA24]

I feel I was true to TB by not changing the rear housing gasket.

havent moved it off the ramps yet but feels great while setting the reverse gate thing.


I did change the pins and collar... will post pics later after I create another imgur album.

also made new foam insert for around the shifter... hope it helps.

when reassembling leave the spring collar attached.

its a bastard to put on after.

 

[Old Iron]

Still doing lots of good work. I too had to figure out how to remove that shifter/collar. I couldn’t get the engine and trans into the car with it all assembled and the pin at the bottom of the shifter was seized.

 

[76RA24]

car seems to be working great!

those 3d printed cage bushing are still holding up.

wish i could say the same for the trans... 3rd and 5th are whining quite loud.

managed to collect a spare M47 from pietercc here on TB.

gonna upload pics of the tear down, and seal up.

[76RA24]

looks like it was re-sealed at one point.

thats as far as I got.

will look at the manual about next steps to get the rear housing off.

 

[76RA24]

m47 tear down pt2
wrong... should have pushed on the spline bit, not the shaft inside. no damage done though.

5th gear syncros look good

Seems good...

another sign that someone else was in here.

paint marker for me.

syncros seem good

maybe...

tub o bits.

I think I will just re-seal this box back up and put it in car...

then tear into the whiner M47

old trans out.

the 3D printed shifter cage bushings seem in great shape!


casting numbers are different on my 1990 M47ii trans
mine

replacement

All seems fine though

really dislike the reverse switch... Soldered some leads on the switch.

and then I broke the Crank sensor bracket.
JB Steel Stick epoxy.

Failed.

Attempting a 3d print currently.

if not will grab a chunk of Aluminum and start cutting, drilling, filing.

Pete

 

[76RA24]

Print turned out pretty decent.

Might just drill some aluminum angle for the bracket.

Not sure PETG would hold up bolted to the block.

 

[Khrrck]

Not sure PETG would hold up bolted to the block.

Google says it starts to soften around 85C, so probably not. Might as well just machine it if you have the tools.

If you want to get fancy you could try lost PLA casting.

Love it when the 3D-Printer is used, good job so far!!!

But do try to get away from PLA and PETG for the long run.

The filament I use for chemical and heat resistant applications is a 58D TPU printed with 100% infill.

But nothing would be better than getting a new old aluminium bracket.

I gave up on PLA... didn't seem like I could use it for more than things that sit on a shelf in the house.

PETG is my standard, but have also used alot of ABS in the past.

What is the transition temp of the 58D TPU... did a quick search.

upgraded the printer to test out some PolyLite PC filament.... have not tried it yet though.

gonna make the bracket out of some aluminum angle I have today.
