I have these Tie Rod End from Ed, and I need to change the nylok because i need to adjust my wheels and I can't use it anymore.
https://www.deloreango.com/fr/tie-rod-end.html
I bought some nylok at my local store and it doesn't fit, I guess its not the same thread.
i was wondering if you had them in spare, because I don't know which one to choose in the store?
Could you please give me link to order them?
Thanks again for your help :)

I'm pretty sure it is this one - https://www.deloreango.com/fr/nylok-nut ... joint.html - but I will check before sending it out if you order. I have Ed's tie rods ends here too so I can use new nyloks straight from them so they will fit.

Order received today, I've tried the nuts on another tie rod I have on spare and looks like it fits perfectly, thanks again :thumbsup:
Next step, fit the wheels.

Long time I didn't updated this thread, sorry.
I just took back the car from the garage to align the steering wheel and the front wheels today.
So, now it is perfect, the steering wheel is straight and I may drive the car fine.

On the other hand, the garage adjust the CO2 of the car and remove my little screw on the kjet?
I don't understand why because I always had this screw.
Same thing on the French forum, everyone is agree to keep the screw to avoid air leak

Yes, keep the screw/ make sure that hole is blocked

Yes, that's what this this thing is for: https://www.deloreango.com/fr/removeable-co-plug.html

Originally that hole is filled with an "anti-tamper plug", which you need to remove to adjust the mixture. Normally this won't go back in afterwards, and you must fill that hole with something else otherwise the car won't run correctly.

Thanks for the advice, the screw is back on position.
The engine start and idle at 900rpm
I drove around 15 minutes and it goes up to 1500 rpm
So, I need to drive it more and adjust it a little bit.
Nevertheless, it will take some time...
Just because, like my old cruising, I came back home with a problem!
This time I was able to drive the car back home just in time.
When I was driving, at around 5000 rpm, I was unable to change gear.
I locked the second gear to reach home, then no more first gear or reverse.
I think my clutch is dead, it smell burn...
Needless to say I'm a little bit disappointed.
I spent 2 year working on the car and was hoping to drive it, now the sun is here, but no.
I wonder if I may be able to do it myself with my own tools, I need space and I don't know if the height will be enough.
I think I need to take a break and get back some strength to work on the car again and again...

Ugh! Quel domage Domi!

Make sure your clutch has free play at the pedal at rest, and your gear linkage and cross gate cable have not simply worked loose? Even without a clutch, you should still probably be able to change gears (badly!) once you are rolling??

And if you have to, you can remove the gearbox to change the clutch with the car on axle stands. I did- you can too, for sure. Its not so hard! A busy weekend would see it done if you have all the parts??

Keep the faith! :thumbsup: :pray: And dont worry, we all hate these cars too! :D
