Hiya Uncle Art!

It is a Motive pressure power bleeder compatible with 240.

Pumped the thing up and maintained 15-20 PSI in the 1990 li's red 240. All went well with new DOT-4.

Closed the last bleed nipple at the driver side front, stood up, and was about to release the pressure chamber pressure, and and poof with the DOT-4. The entire engine bay. Soaked with water as I had no hose in the terrible Kirkwood, MO slums under rotting trees.

I started to seek a replacement section of clear vinyl that is unrated for rpressure. Motive (Motiv?) sells a replacement for a dear price. A short search for replacement clear vinyl line was useless. Not rated for the pressure or not the proper ID.

A recent search for adhesive to re-secure the passenger side mirror on the kittysgreyvolvo 1991 passenger door mirror assembly backing plate was useless.

I called these stupid stores like AutoBone and UnAdvanced Auto Parts, I passed on O'Reilly's. "Duhhhhh, the rear view mirror glue, we got that." "No," I says, "the glue used to re secure the glass mirror to the flexible backing plate on a Volvo 240." Stupid me, two hours later, got Loctite Marine PL from Lowe's or Home Despot in stupid Longmont in Toilet-rado.

The auto parts store are ever more staffed by dumb dumb knuckle heads that don't care and don't learn. I'd been trying for a quality autoparts store retail job since the 1980s and well, screw me.

Judd's Parts Barn in Brentwood, MO closed in the 1990s. Whyen Beck Arnley had quality parts and you could get all this quality cool stuff for your 140, 164, and 240. I had that 1975 240 DL with B20 and M40. Got some upgraded sealed beams, and way better lighting than on the 9004 240 headlamps now.

I may take Bill B.B.'s suggestion and go for LED. I have that wire harness from the Waggonmeister yet have not installed it for fear the stupid-rado HOA gesh-tapo to take ownership of the host's house I'm in. Want to try the 80/100 9004 bulbs he includes in the kit. I get blinded repeatedly by over-powered headlamp bulbs.

So much for the mountain states of Murika and the celebrated no longer rugged individualism.

Nazi-rado, terrible, and Nazi, like Kalifarnia, OR, WA and you name it. MT and WY may resist yet they list for the tax revenues.

Also, the auto parts stores are all merchandised the same. Same products, all useless.

Maybe the NAPA store is still okay?

Sorry to go on so.

Time for CAD models and illustration. I ask them to make 1979 Volvo 240 and 1972 164. No reply.

David Bellow advances on his 1972 164 M410 conversion to EV with the M410. Wire harness install! I'd miss the toppity-toppity B30.
