Thanks for a very informative video. I have the exact same issue and trying the same method. haven't been able to catch the release with the stick yet. With the seat bottom out i noticed a few torx bolts at the bottom. would removing those torx let me swing the seat back to give me some clearance to the trunk?

If you help just one person, the video is worth it! In my case, I'm procrastinating doing more-or-less exactly this right now. Same color car, and same 12V generator conversion, only the previous owner didn't line it up very well with the belt height.

Thanks for the video! If you don’t have a wood clamp, I recommend the top half of a pool cue. Turned out to be the perfect length!

great it does not show placement of the shoes primary and secondary my secondary shoes are short lining for11/2 inches do I have the wrong parts same floating wheel cyl and anchor points ????

A better way is to put jumper cables on your car turn on the ignition(don’t start the car) then hit the trunk button

Hey dude , there is a cable JUST BACK OF YOUR IICENCE PLATE ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's the casual emergency system to open the trunk " MANUALY " without any energy .... Are you can take it under the little "LIGHT " for the licence plate .... that's the two logik way to make it .....

Was on tug with 4,12 567 A engines blowers had silencers so more engine sound. They sure are singing.

Sweet roots blower, dewd.

Yeah that whole registering battery thing is cray cray. It for BMW is has to be done.

Dude you can't seen anything you are doing sigh

Thanks for the videos on the MG!

Love it 👍🇦🇺

Classic EMD sound!

I'll check my rag bin

😂

I hope you got me a t-shirt😊

Hey thanks more than you know... so my son moved into college today. Locked his key in the trunk. Roadside got us into the car... but not into the trunk. Soo I drove upto him and stopped at a homedepot on the way for a 3 foot clamp. And saved the night. Thank you !!!!!!!

Dang, that blue vintage Porsche! 2:30 ❤❤❤

Thank you!

it takes 1.25 pints...

Keep plugging man!

Thanks for the video. My boot won't open on my 218d so looks like I need to go through the back seat.

my grandfather used to wash his car with a mixture of dry laundry soap, water and diesel (kerosene) fuel. i suspect he used it, in part, because the roads in his day (b. 1894, d. 1969) were heavily tarred and so were the cars. :)

Nice!! I have a 228i 2014 !!

I'm doing this line replacement now along with the Wilwood disc brake conversion. Any tips?

BITD i found that the hand crank that came with my '61 MGA came in handy for turning over the engine in a controlled manner. but it looks like there's precious little room in the front of your TD at this time. :) anyway...congrats!! and looking forward to seeing the video of your maiden voyage.

you might want to think about adding a couple of in-line fuel filters. one before the fuel pump and one after. you'd have to cut the metal line of course...and leave it that way for a few thousands of miles. but a couple short lengths of rubber fuel line to connect each end of the filter to the cut ends of the line and two clamps (four per piece of hose) at each connection should keep it from leaking. i don't know how your car is set up from the fuel pump to the carbs, so you'd have to work that out. but it's a good idea on an old tank and lines that have been shown to have a lot of debris in them. ...just a thought. :)

couldn't help but laugh when the bottle blew off.....sorry. :) to clean out the tank and the line, you might try throwing a gallon or two of diesel or gasoline in the tank and turning on the ignition. on my TD the fuel pump will run until the float bowls are full (i think), but if the fuel line is disconnected from the carbs it may run as long as there's fuel in the tank... just a guess. i've never tried it. anyway, if that works you might consider running the end of the fuel line back into the tank using a section of rubber fuel hose, that way, you can just hook up a trickle charger to your battery, turn on your ignition and sit back for a hour or two while the whole thing cleans itself. or, i suppose, until your fuel pump burns up, which ever comes first. :)

i fear the cable will eventually get broken off inside the line. ...i'm on the edge of my seat! :)

be careful! you get your finger caught up in the twisted cable, like your glove, and you'll regret it! if the clog is right at the end, i would heat it up with a propane torch....

After the Norton, how’s about a ‘68 Guzzi?

My friend has an early td(51) and his didn’t have them. Like I said my car (1953)was missing them. I did get them on the driver side, but they just didn’t fit right , so I took them off . I later read on one of the forums that the aftermarket springs just didn’t fit. Since the early TDs didn’t have them and neither did mine, I just left them off. Hope this helps

I ended up not using them, I found out that a lot of people were having trouble installing the aftermarket ones as they are slightly different from the factory ones. My car didn’t have them on

How did you finally get that spring in - the one at the end of the video?

To squeeze (the teabag) or not to squeeze, that is the question...?

Hello Dollies!!

During the Great War we used our helmets as kettles and Dusty Miller’s false teeth as a strainer. Most of the leaves and dirt got through, but it kept the gravel to a minimum...God Save the Queen!!!
