Re: Anjo goes 343! the daily project
imo there's nothing wrong with the Renix, i like it 10.000x better than traditional points.
the saloon is Frits's daily:

Well up to '82 or whenever the Renix came in, you could fit Pertronix Ignitor instead of points. Going Renix is one step further as it also puts the advance parts of the dizzy in a black box.magnumpi wrote:Can we not fir Petronix Flame thrower points to these then because of the Renix setup
Too much work in this weather for me. Hats off to Anjo for just getting on with it.

Re: Anjo goes 343! the daily project
and the renix is wired, and working :
positioned it in a way i can just plug & play back to points if nescassary ...
after that, nice shiny bits! brandnew chrome mirrors and MY76/77 shields for on the front wings, like the 343DL 1.4 about a million times better than "volvo"
frontspoiler, original MY79, 80, 81 from Richard Grant. i know only 1 other 300 that has this one, very rare piece of equipment .
lighted bumper back on,

Re: Anjo goes 343! the daily project
Are those new reproduction mirrors? I've seen some the same on that dark grey 343 on the Dutch Volvo 300 club forum. They look just the same, very similar to the original '76 mirrors. If so where can I buy some . Nice spoiler

Hi Anjo.
That 343 looks fantastic. I would love to get my hands on a set of those wing mirrors.
Cheers Mark.

Re: Anjo goes 343! the daily project
When I bought my DAF 44, it had a 343 black plastic mirror on the driver's side and a DAF Spitfire / GECO chrome mirror on the passenger side.
So I bought a new pair. Not exactly the same mirrors, but they fit on the exactly the same hole spacing (103.6mm - which is the same as the 343)
They were bought as a pair and the driver's side is flat glass and passenger side is convex. €68 and €9.90 post from this French eBay vendor - auto6t - HERE
Here are the CIPA references for the FLAT and CONVEX, in case you prefer a matching pair. They are not handed.
HTH,
Rich

Re: Anjo goes 343! the daily project
cheers lads
last weekend we had a braking course with V3C, i got some pics from that (not the best resolution but it's all i have ) wish i'd have snapped a few aswell
on the way home the exhaust suddenly desided to give up
with the CVT and me doing 130kmh it was LOUDD, i still had about 50km of motorway left to get home so i slowed down to 80kmh wich made the noise a little bit less loud and made it back home.
ghettofixed it at work;
and welded it after that, she's quiet now, much better

It is a low friction polymere. It a bit like Nylon, but has better stiffness and wear resistance.
The whole facade (it will have only one expansion joint!) of this museum which I helped develop will be gliding on POM bushes. This is to accommodate the thermal expansion of the facade (several inches). I had to research this material to see if it was fit to withstand the weight and the wear of the moving facade. It is a great material. (ofcourse it is... why would Anjo use anything less than great? )
Delrin is the Dupont name for POM (Polyoxymethylene) It is manufactured by many chemical companies like BASF (as Ultraform), DuPont (as Delrin), Ticona Hostaform (as Celcon), Polyplastic (as Duracon) and Mitsubishi (as Lupital).Hell Driver wrote: whats a Delrin bracket?
