I have used the Precision Machinery Cis-jetronic kit and it was good quality.
The Salvox954 seems to be a new competitor. It was not around back when I purchased my rebuild kit. Looks similar in quality from pictures, but I have never actually seen one.

What part of the state are you located?

[E Sully]

About 20 miles north of NYC.

What sealant do you recommend, if any? Seems to be somewhat of a secret.

[Walt Fricke]

I don't think Bosch used any sealant. I have heard that a particular kind of varnish (Indian something?) could be used.

My problems with sealing have been more mechanical than anything - nothing like trapping part of one of the little oval rings where it doesn't belong. But I have heard others probably more dexterous than I am say they have had sealing problems.

Walt,

There was thread years ago on Pelican on the indian stuff. Some guy Grizzley?? I have a spare FD that i want to rebuild.

Anybody want to give up the secret?

[E Sully]

If the surfaces are smooth no sealant should be necessary. If you decide to use a sealant, be very careful not to block the small pinhole in the plate I circled.

[Dave Kost]

Thanks Ed.

I have been working on some mercedes CIS models. I have rebuilt a 6 cylinder FD successfully without a sealant.. Its a different animal the main difference is it has an elastomer diaphragm that would be self sealing. Many more parts too. Also, a couple Youtube videos on the rebuild.

I have a spare FD for my 81 sc, with no history and since I can't leave well enough alone, Im going to do a rebuild.

Il go with the Precision Machinery CIS-Jetronic rebuild kit.

Just a hobbyists that likes to tinker.

I did not use sealant and had no leaks

They are both good rebuilt kits and another one from Australia. Some of the works I am finishing:



Take your time and clean everything very well. Make sure it does not leak and pressure test the FD for an extended time. The longer you test it over a period of time, the better for your test. Two down and more to go.

We use a very thin coat of SuperGue for the best results.

[outsider347]

Thanks Gents!!

Tony, I like your brand of beer

[Dave Kost]

They recommend Hylomar M.

They have some interesting rebuild kits and they say with instructions. FD's and WUR's.

I made an inquirey.

Very nice looking rebuild kit!

BTW- I have no skin in this game of rebuilds, just want to pass along some info to the DYI crowd.

Has anyone tried this vendor?
