Re: Baltic Sea Circle 2025
Sounds like an interesting and challenging adventure. Nothing for my Interceptor but I really have to think about if i could volunteer as a co-pilot.

Re: International Weekend 2024
Our international meeting is approaching day by day. I guess meanwhile most of you finished the trip preparations in terms of the mainland europe energy certification. I was lucky to pass it in the first attempt and got it on April 1st.

Re: Chrysler 383ci restauration ... some issues
Hi catolard,
here is a link for freeze plugs but you may get all engine parts from that company as well. Very informative website.

Re: Foldable engine hoist - recommendations
Fully agree. This „chinese crap“ is definitely tough enough to handle a 440 engine. Should be up to the job for engine plus tranny of a 4 cyl Volvo.

Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration
In really desperate situations you may use a grease gun. A bit more cleaning effort is the downside and finding the right adapter to connect the gun with the caliper might be a challenge.

Hi Catolard,
try to see it positively. The blue seal might be an indication that the previous owner changed the failure prone nylon cam sprocket by more durable components.

Re: alternator V-belt
My Interceptor has the Mitsubishi alternator, and currently wears a "Pirelli SPZ 1147 LP 1160 LA" belt. 1147 would be the length but why 1160? And what would AP and LA mean? To give you a concrete answer - LP means „length on pitch“ and is a kind of „effective length“. This length can not...
