Vacation started

The roof leak on rear window shield rubber strips would be repaired today with black silicon sealing material.
This working must be done as soon as possible because the rainy season is coming. The inconvenience to parking outside must be overcome at any rate.

The big hole would be closed with 0,4mm thickness plate from the back cover of washing machine holding tapping screw and transparent silicon sealing material.
Some piece of flooring rubber sheet in beige colored for insulation is prepared and this same rubber material may be utilized for more insulation on floor surface of the cabin is prepared for later working.

Minor parts are come from Tokyo already and genuine Bosch distributor with vacuum advance diaphragm is arriving from Mybows in Tokyo also today.

I'm not satisfied with the function of 009 distributor without vacuum diaphragm advancer because of the dead zone of acceleration that should be much more linear and smooth.
009 is useful but not so comfortable as the combination with vacuum advancer and centrifugal governor mechanical advancer.

The original double vacuum diaphragm distributor would be disassembled and the diaphragm case would be cut and separated in two pieces to replace the diaphragm sheet rubber.
Judging from the outside observation of the diaphragm case, it may be possible to repair the defected rubber parts and re-obtain the original functions, very special functions in specific production period, together with advancing and retarding.

As an experiment, also see what will happen if the retarding function only would be killed, probably in that condition too much advancing angle may be observed?

Thermostat functions must be checked this morning, bi-metal should be in shrunk figure and after that the length would be increased to open the cooling air intake doors mechanically. Even now I feel some hot air flows if I do accelerate manually standing behind Beetle, so actually the doors are activated and opened but on closing function for cold starting stage I'm not sure.
