Rubber Renew Tip There is special grease for rubber. The one I got is ruby red and smells kinda nice in an old memory way. Anyways: Clean & degrease your rubber part. Liberally administer the rubber grease on the part, rubbing it over with a soft toothbrush. Hang in a place that will get warm and cool. Like a boiler hoouse, or a glass house etc. Leave for a few days, or if you forget for weeks it doesnt matter really. Remove and clean the excess grease off using newspaper and various tools and techniches that you'll figure out easily. Rub down with a dedicated lint-free cloth or microfiber towel. Sometimes I just use gloves and don't mind the part remaining greasy a little bit. Obviously for pedals and grips thats not a good thing so do use the cloth and clean all surface grease off until the pedal / grip is slip-free. The heat/cool period allows the rubber to expand and contract and obsorb the rubber grease - rejuvinating itself. It is remarkable how a stiff old piece of rubber can becaome very flexible again. Note: The longer you do the heat/cool period, the more flexible the rubber becomes. So maybe keep a check on the piece as the days go by so you don't end up with a really floppy piece which may not then suit it's application.

Excellent restoration

Thank you dude!

[@Albert87nl]

Just to add.. as a alternative... seeing i personally i like the OEM KTL Bath coating on gaspedlas and its mounting frames.. VHT Chassis and rollbar paint (satin) . really does a splendid job to match that. and being epoxy. . looks allot like OEM just as a tip :)

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you Albert I will save this comment now and talk to my paint guy. I need it. 👍👍

[@towlie911]

Unless that fuel hose is rated for hydraulic oil, which most fuel line is not, it’ll be destroyed in short order.

[@Samashtwelve]

If you ever want to borrow any parts for restoration, please look no further, hell you could borrow the whole car if you like :D loving the e30 vids man, don't know how you find the time for all this work, keep it up man!!

[@RestoreIt]

I might just hit you up in the future you never know :D Thanks dude!

[@mikejurisic]

Nice job but to make it seem more real next time, have an intro where you find it in a field you're ploughing and use your feet to hold some of the tools

[@miningbruno]

Why the "silicon remover"? Why not acetone or IPA? What sort of silicon-based residue are you trying to wipe out?

[@RestoreIt]

Thats just what its called it pretty much removes everything

[@xristoskoutsos9270]

that rod on the brake pedal it is because the car is right handdriven?

[@honda8192]

Hey mate what is the punch kit called that you used for the cork gasket? I need to buy a set.

[@Limeayy]

Just curious Restore It, but your titles for your playlist is so difficult to know which vehicle you're working on... I can't keep up, you have i think 3 playlists for 3 different vehicles... Wished it was easier... It isn't as easy to just read "Nissan GT-R build" and another is "BMW E30", just wished you were able to title it better because i can't tell which this goes in because I'm keeping a playlist but when i look at your playlist it confuses me. Other than that, i love the build progress.

Cheers again, Albert. I appreciate your comments!

[@chemact1285]

Fuel hose is not suitable for brake/clutch fluid. I suppose that you've checked the inner part of the cylinder for rust and pitting and change the piston. Great restoration job!

[@RestoreIt]

The hose was just for the video and I did indeed make sure it was good inside. Cheers!

[@Svensken8R]

Brake/clutch hose/tubing also has rubber inside of them?.. In a matter of way it's the same type of hose ..So why are they not suitable for brake/clutch fluid @ChemaCT

[@Svensken8R]

..Or am i'm totally out of it here?!

[@chemact1285]

@@Svensken8R Yes it's "rubber" but there are a lot of types of "rubber" depending on the fluid that run inside of them; for example, It's not the same a hose for oil that a hose for petrol, and there are two types of hoses for petrol, intended to be submerged on petrol and for external use.

Great work as always, your videos are very enjoyable!

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you Ivo!

[@mmhet]

As always very good video. The springs are replaced or restored ? Because they have a lifespan The spring fatigue worth some thought But for this application why not restore them Though the displacement of the spring is large, the load is low It's not easy to define the remaining lifespan

[@RestoreIt]

If I had fast shipping they would have been replaced and ultimately should be before it's installed into the car, yes, i agree :)

[@quickvictor]

Why not just get a new gas pedal, clutch and brake pedal pads? They are relatively cheap and would have brightened up the finished work!

[@RestoreIt]

I only didn't do it because of delivery times in Spain and lack of organisation on my part. Omaar may decide to replace them before they go back in the car as I would do myself.

[@SpikerDragon95]

Why the brake pedal has that humungus rod?

[@DavidScheiber]

If that hose has brake fluid in it you should use heater hose/coolant hose, fuel hose is not compatible with brake fluid and will degrade.

[@RestoreIt]

Yes that was the wrong hose I just wanted it replaced for the video and thats all I had cheers

[@alanlane3869]

I woke up to the notification of this new video, and with three projects to finish on my house it’s just the motivation I need to get them done and done right. Awesome as always! ✌️

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you Alan!

[@omaark6982]

Fantastic video as always Steve! Amazing restoration! Can't wait to put the pedals back in the car. If you need anything else feel free to shout me.

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks Omaar! I will of course hit you up my man.

[@NyxNick]

About the hose? Are you sure this hose is resistant to dot 3 or dot 4? And original is braided as it is close to the exhaust headers. And also the grommet for the clutch hose i think it is in reversed direction

[@RestoreIt]

You're not wrong Yasnick. I wanted to replace it in the video and so i used the only hose that I had at the time that would fit. I recommend Omaar changes this for an original. Cheers.

[@henkvandeleur6872]

er zitten 2 plastic (geel/wit) bussen met kraag verkeerd om. de kraag moet aan de binnenkant anders lopen je bussen eruit. prachtig is de rest.

[@ozzyfreeman2619]

Looking good, but, how is the main part of this project going on. How is the car, any progress? I hope everything is well?

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks as always Ozzy. It's not going the best... The two rear quarters I need are being made right now and will then be shipped. The tail panel, skirts, and a few other smaller pieces are coming soonish. But it's all ground to a hault for the most part. I'm doing what I can to keep the episodes coming until the car is welded, painted and rebuilt by which point there will be too many episodes...something I can't wait for. I'm going to do some work on the BMW 1M Coupe to help me keep the videos coming... I know this isnt what people want but I have to keep the videos coming to keep everything going, its just the way my channel is on YT. Cheers dude.

[@ozzyfreeman2619]

@@RestoreIt OK, great to hear about the car, I know, some time everything is so slow, but keep going, move forward mate. You have a really cool content.

[@heimwerkerpriebe8799]

Electroplating hydrogen released on the surface of the part penetrates into the crystal lattice of the part, this leads to a decrease in the strength of the part. After applying zinc, the parts are heated in ovens at a temperature of 200 degrees. If this is not done, the part will lose strength by about 40%. This is important for springs and mechanically loaded parts. you can experiment with nails (galvanized and not galvanized), they will break in different ways. good luck with the construction. google translator sorry

[@clickireland1113]

Quick Tip At 3.15 regarding nut releasing - Prefer to use leverage rather than force. 1. Leverage significantly reduces the chances of rounding a nut or causing thread damage. By leverage I mean adding a hollow bar to your rachet , or spanner etc. 2. Leverage always reduces the stress on your wrist joint. I know we all shake these small things off but anyways. Thanks for another fantastic video

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

Life pro tip, if you’re ever cleaning your car and you can’t clean the pedals very well. Just take the rubber cover off (not on the accelerator, bc they don’t usually have rubber on them) I’ve been doing that for a while.

[@RestoreIt]

Cheers Joey!

These restorations inspire me to restore my E30, while at same time discourages abit knowing i won’t be able to achieve the result as good as this :D anyone feel the same way? Anyway, thanks for all the videos, i learned a lot :)

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

You should break the bolt using a T bar or fixed arm. My brother used to fix loads ratchets where they had been used to break whatever you call that first bit. Those little pawl’s can’t take a lot of stress over and over again

[@RestoreIt]

You're not wrong dude, I have a few broken ratches and am yet to learn my lesson haha. I'll try and keep it in mind for next time.

[@SteelBlueBody]

Definitely I enjoyed the build! Keep up the good work

[@sparkeyjones6261]

I noticed your clutch master cylinder has a metal ring on the end. I just purchased one from what was said to be an OEM manufacturer, and this ring is plastic. I wonder if I should return it and look for a better one?

[@wookievr641]

You can get that blue house online from German part suppliers. When doing similar build as yours on my Corrado I was able to source meter of hose and used it on 3 or 4 VWs

Brilliant attention to detail. Did notice at 20.49 you installed the guides in the wrong way.

[@Trinitrotoluol37]

21:15 Bushings are incorrectly positioned. They should be inside.

[@killersof10]

My ped box didn't have nearly as much stuff on it and I don't know why. I mean, it works fine, but still. Maybe the LHD and RHD ones are designed entirely different

[@RestoreIt]

I've only restored two RHD ones now. So it might be the case that there is less on the LHD models. Makes sense... the UK has to be different doesnt it!

[@NyxNick]

Nice video. Coincidentally i restored mine RHD too few weeks back, there was tiny play at the bushings at the right angle lever inside the box and also near the servo rod, i replaced all with machined brass bushings, man now the pedals glide with almost no play. I also machined tiny brass bushings for the springs holes. All the best mate. Cheers
