Well I have on hand Nylon, Acetal/Delrin, PEEK, PTFE. At work we get a few bar ends occasionally in various strange engineering plastics such as TecaPEEK PVX (PEEK with 10% of each of the following: PTFE, Graphite and carbon fibre) and a few others in smaller diameters that I can’t remember what they are called but have high wear and heat resistance. One is a grey plastic with graphite that’s quite interesting. I’ll try and find out at work next week as only one guy runs the smaller parts on our CNC turning side and he will know all about it.

There's a couple of new ones there for me viz PEEK and the derivatives of it. Delrin would work well but wouldn't be flexible enough for my idea of slitting it but maybe PTFE would do the job, failing that nylon. Edit - i have some Nylatron in the shed i was going to have a go with, there's also another that comes to mind, generally a sort of pale lime green colour that is a very good insulator, hard wearing but slippery but again my brain cell won't recall the name of it.

I'm afraid we have an example of "What were they thinking?!" from our beloved Volvo engineers. To have the Parking Brake cable hitched to the rear axle with a weld that breaks off easily (after 35 years! smile) and gives no significant confidence that the right rear is getting half the strength of the pull on the cable is simply dumb. Reweld, invent a better split, etc. Don't he 240s have two cables? Insuring an even pressure on right and left rear? How did the 940 get such a flimsy treatment?

Looks like there’s a fairly easy fix for this problem.

Best places to get one.👇
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286045159266 https://classicvolvoparts.co.uk/part.asp?pID=9806 To fine tune left and right sides, consider fitting adjusters to the shoes. Two types available, the one with longer ends might need to be modified. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...uster&_sacat=0 |
