Default Refurbishing Turbocharger fixings.

Bit of weak sunshine earlier so got the tools out to make a start on the "Project SHIM" ZT-T 1.8T.

All set up and big black clouds assembled overhead from out of nowhere to spoil my plans ... again! Those things are definitely out to get me in recent days, correction... years!

Over those years, have accumulated a few worn K-Series I.8T Turbochargers... usual stuff... worn shaft bearings. Have bought some T25 CHRAs ready for rebuilds.

Despite those clouds, decided to be productive before the rains came so out with the Electric Drill, Rotary Brushes and tackled the corrosion on the various original Turbocharger Coolant Tube Fixings. Using a Mini-Vice, half an hour later all seven items were looking much better with cleaned up threads and hex-flats. Tried some in the new CHRAs and they smothly became fitted using just fingers.

These images show the before and after condition after the wire brush treatment in the old Black and Decker now approaching its fiftieth birthday... Made in Sheffield.









Started to rain quite heavily as I put away the tools... A small victory for me to beat the weather... still a sweet victory though...

Default Black and Decker Drill

Morning

Slight hijack here but I to have a fifty year old B&D drill same as the one above.

Mine is in need of a new mains cable. I want to order one from B&D but trouble is, the sticker with the model number vanished from mine years ago.

Any idea what the model number is (assuming a sticker is still attached to yours)?

Cheers

Likewise, I too have the same drill, it still works but is in need of a new mains cable. I've yet to investigate if it's possible to make a new cable.

It is. Apparently the first thing my father did to his. But he had got it when serving his time (as a spark). And only a couple of years ago he stopped using it due to the bearing getting noisy.
