chaseracer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Alright shiters. Tame Mechanic has encountered a problem with a PAS repair on a late-90s V70 and needs a steer (HA! ...sorry...) on a solution. The aluminium part of the hose between the rack and the special 90deg fitting has fractured; apparently this is not uncommon. Can it be repaired without replacing the whole rack?

Tamworthbay Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Could it be welded? Ally welding is specialist but there are a few companies around here that can do it. I used a place in the Lichfield industrial estate a few years ago, not sure if they are still there but could give you directions if it's of any use mate. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yes please, Clive.Do you know the lichfield road industrial estate? You need to come from the Lichfield end, so take the road up past the Fox pub and turn right into the estate. Then turn immediately right into a yard (there is a place there that does car stereos. Follow it round in a big U if that makes sense and it's the unit on the right in the corner. I can't remember the guys name unfortunately but he a fair bit of ally welding for me about three- four years back and his work was top notch and cheap to boot. If you need any more info just give me a call Dave as it's easier to explain one to,one if that makes sense. I will try and get a pic on google maps or something and stick it up. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Why does 'north' take you to Hong Kong? I was trying to get the damn thing to point to a place I know that exists called Northe the last time I went on, but it didn't want to play and only knows North which is a place in HK apparently. Not sure why it's still there! chaseracer and alcyonecorporation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
