  1. I've got those siding pins on the rear calipers on my Trooper. Subject of several threads on the Trooper forum. Extreme fix for trouble free operation involves drilling and tapping the bottom of the pin recess and fitting grease nipples...My n/s caliper is pretty well seized but the pins came out with no problem!

    How much were the saab seats? they go for silly money on fleebay.


    I paid £40 for the pair from a Saab breaker down near Romsey in Hampshire.  I think they now go under the name 'Paradise Club Classic Saabs'  Google them.
       Mine are velour but leather ones are more expensive...

  2. I've got 4 x 948 wheels with dubious tyres (loads of tread but unknown age, they are Czech 155x13 cinturatto copies) The wheels have heavy surface rust, but if anyone wants them they are here in East Sussex  Free to good home...

  3. It may be my imagination, but the hose in the second picture looks too long? I had the same issue on my Estate a couple of years ago, had to cable tie it away. Mot man not impressed. A shorter hose cured the problem...
      That aside, are there different length hoses for the Spits to cover the two driveshaft lengths?

  4. I've got the 3.63 in my estate. The rest is 1500 with 3 rail o/d. I've no idea what speed I'm doing, but it seems to keep up with modern traffic. There's more torque in the 1500 and because of that I swapped from 3.89 to the 3.63. I think you might be better off with the 3.89. Cheers, Mark.

       How you download them to a post on this forum, I do not know....

  7. Not often mentioned, but the other failure is the stripping of the threads within the trunnion and the subsequent popping out of the vertical link.  With a VERY strong strap or similar, you can tie it all together and SLOWLY make your way home/place of repair.  I think this is caused by COMPLETE lack of lubrication!
