Ok so i need to put a self adjuster in my caddy till the manual one on order arrives. Does anyone know how to slack the self adjuster to install it?

OK I will do that. I found a source for some containers for the adhesive I just need to verfy for the activator. It is solvent free but i dont know about plastic cause it came in a glass vial.

I hope so because I had to order a pretty large amount. Now I need to find some small containers to put it into single use quantities for distribution to VeeDub owners.

SOLUTION FOUND!!!! or at least I hope but it looks good so far. I unclamped the hinges and played with the window a little, then a little more and then pushed so hard against the hinges i thought I was gonna break the glass. :shock: Time will tell for sure but I will repeat what the adhesive manufa...

Finally ordered the seal kit to fix mine cant wait to burn my fuel instead of oiling the asphalt

of course the cylinder one and two are such a pain to get to, when i resel my pump i will change them all.

I glued the windows last night and have them clamped right now. the manufature said working strength in about twenty minutes and full bond in 24 hours. so tonight i will know if i have reached an end to the frustrating task of sticking the windows.

After contacting several salvage yards and walking through weeds up to my arm pits in another, I have put that idea on hold and will now work up the parts for plan B. B is to continue along the idea that works quite well now for the drivers side window. That is a small stick/tube with a soft sticky...

The glow plugs in my 81 caddy have been in it since 1985 if that helps. i think glowplugs are like drive belts. you dont think about them untill they quit working. BTW I think the service interval on the injectors is 60,000miles, but with clean fuel and correct fuel pressure i am pretty sure you can...

Good to know. I need to get my kit ordered so i can reseal my pump. it is leaking from the cold start lever and the governor cover now. i think it is leaking more when it is running than that little engine burns.

just curious, what ebay user did you order the kit from so i knwo who not to order mine from.

I did mine last weekend with the snap ring. I drilled out the shaft hole in the gear then I put a peice of sandpaper in the crack of the gear and used the gear to pinch the sandpaper while i slid it thru the gear to make it a little snugger of a fit. i put a 1/4 inch external snaprings on both sides...

I got the glue today so i might give it a go tommorow. maybe this weekend. we shall see. so excited about getting it fixed just to wore out after work.

Yeah thats where my issue is. I use mine so i need something strong because i push it past 90 degrees so it rams air up my leg. My pasenger side is stuck with rearview mirror adhesive but it does not get used, vibrates open sometimes but never any pressure on it. I do need the lock tabs though if an...

Yes, someone said to make a little mold and fill it with JBweld :roll: . I wanted to slap them so fricking hard. I told them to look at my car (81caddy) and look at your piece of shit (~92~ cavalier with paint falling off) and tell me why I would want some rigged up bulls :shock: t that looks like i...
