Photos from the winter event

Better late than never! I took my time uploading these, but here we go – some images from the Saab Club of Finland winter event 2009. Saab Club of Finland displaying a few cars at “Talviheikki 2009” event. Some footage of setting up and of the cars. For example: Saab 95 1961, Saab 96 Monte… Continue reading Photos from the winter event

Part 60. Electric fan for the stroker

We installed an electric fan for the ’64 today. We found a small enough unit from some Huyndai. Making the brackets was pretty easy and we put some mounting rubbers between the fan and body to minimize noise and to reduce vibrations. We were able to make the installation so we used existing holes. So… Continue reading Part 60. Electric fan for the stroker

Part 58. Making brakelines

Since all the brake parts on the car are new we decided to go for new lines also. So, new piping all the way through: New lines, but they have no flaring or nuts yet. Flaring tools – look complicated but actually very easy to use. First the end of the line is cleaned with… Continue reading Part 58. Making brakelines

Talviheikki 2009

We had little event in Turku last weekend. I was part of the team that set the display up and also spent sunday there telling people about Saabs. Here’s a short clip I filmed; setting up, the cars and then leaving:

Part 57. Rear brakes

A bit more about the rear brakes: Pretty much “everything” new here (piston, shoes)… (Oops! As “Saab 95” reminded in the comments – the springs are on the wrong side of the shoes in the photo… They have to be on the inside! I remembered it as I put the hub on – installed this… Continue reading Part 57. Rear brakes

Part 56. Miscellaneous

Ah, the snow 🙂 – – – – The brake lines are almost done (new lines and hoses all round). Although I’m still waiting for the front brake hoses from Sweden – they should be here in two weeks time. I decided to fix the fuel pump. It looked like a mouse had made a… Continue reading Part 56. Miscellaneous

Part 55. Alternator, temperature gauge, wiper motor & heater fan

Fitting the Saab 99 alternator took a little effort. None of the mounts were directly usable so we had to make a new lower one and modify the top one: The lower mount was too far back so we made a new one that moved the alternator forward about 5 centimeters to line up the… Continue reading Part 55. Alternator, temperature gauge, wiper motor & heater fan

Part 54. Steering column & misc.

I found some nice parts for a V4. I think they will go to the 95 when it’s time. A 1.7 crankshaft and NOS timing gears. I got both at a very very reasonable price, so ofcourse I had to have them… 😀 Also, new front fenders for a V4. I decided it’s quite enough… Continue reading Part 54. Steering column & misc.

Part 53. Miscellaneous

The heater blades now have new “arms” for the cables. They were made from brass tube and steel rods that were soldered together and then glued to the blades. Works really well and was actually pretty easy to do. A little something about the wheels: The front suspension is now pretty much assembled. The driveshafts… Continue reading Part 53. Miscellaneous

Part 52. Miscellaneous

I got the engine room wiring mostly sorted out. There isn’t that many differences after all. I had made pretty good drawings when I took the car apart and I also have the wiring diagrams from the workshop handbook. All in all very simple but somewhat time consuming. The ’66 fuse box has a few… Continue reading Part 52. Miscellaneous
