My Ocianic Blue Ur restoration

[sal_s2]

Its a very tight fit as standard anyway so give it a bit more grunt

Thanks to Issimo over on the Classic Audi site, I have a few of the missing parts and was able to get the rear hatch wiring sorted.
I also got the clutch master all fitted, pedal box back in with all pivot points stripped down and re greased. Two new bushes on the throttle pedal cable end and finally the refurbished heater box back in. Now I used slightly thicker foam strip between the box and bulkhead and now I can't get the bar to engage. Happy days!

Good move, any space back there for more Deadmat?

Yes!

Clutch master was a pig. Got there in the end. It's not normally necessary but I dropped the pedal box. Someone has put a split pin at the pivot and it was impossible to remove. Dropping the pedal box gave access so I could remove the whole arm.


I had a spare correct pin and clip (right).


Everything cleaned up and re greased ready to re fit.
I'm going to grease all the other pivot points while I'm in there.

WD40 works as well

That would be cool
I'm wondering how to get the labels out of my original lid in one piece :think:

Try warming them up with a hair dryer

I could probably get some made from mine if you like. The place that made my Nothelle badges hopefully would

You want me to come down there with my unfeasibly long arms?

Has anyone replaced the master clutch cylinder on a Ur? Any tips appreciated
I'm half way through and even with dash and heater box out, it's a pig

My fuse box lid is missing a catch and the spare I have is from an 80 with different labels, would be nice to find some replica labels..

You can buy brand new heater fans on eBay if yours is noisy or bearings feel loose. Not expensive iirc.

The fan is good. I've just put a drop of oil on the bearing end.

Good work! I'm so glad my shell was bare when painted! ?
