Thanks for a very informative video. I have the exact same issue and trying the same method. haven't been able to catch the release with the stick yet. With the seat bottom out i noticed a few torx bolts at the bottom. would removing those torx let me swing the seat back to give me some clearance to the trunk?
@@tlee64 Not sure, try using a flat bar instead of the stick. With the flat bar ,you can bend it then you can hit the seat release .
I finally got it and what made the difference was sticking an inspection camera into the trunk so I could see where the release was. But thanks for the suggestions and the super helpful video!
@@tlee64 you’re welcome. Inspection camera is a great idea 💡
If you help just one person, the video is worth it! In my case, I'm procrastinating doing more-or-less exactly this right now. Same color car, and same 12V generator conversion, only the previous owner didn't line it up very well with the belt height.
Thanks for the video! If you don’t have a wood clamp, I recommend the top half of a pool cue. Turned out to be the perfect length!
what is that you’re trying to hit when you stick it in there? is there a latch or something
great it does not show placement of the shoes primary and secondary my secondary shoes are short lining for11/2 inches do I have the wrong parts same floating wheel cyl and anchor points ????
I don’t remember if the shoes are different sizes. I believe they are the same size, I kept the original ones that came with the car , I will dig around for them and compare and let you know

A better way is to put jumper cables on your car turn on the ignition(don’t start the car) then hit the trunk button
My battery was so dead it wouldn’t take a charge,not even enough to voltage to open the trunk. It turned out that the computer on the right side passenger kick panel blew and wouldn’t allow any voltage to the battery . When I got the trunk opened and put in a new battery i still had nothing, that’s how I found out about the computer .
Hey dude , there is a cable JUST BACK OF YOUR IICENCE PLATE ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's the casual emergency system to open the trunk " MANUALY " without any energy .... Are you can take it under the little "LIGHT " for the licence plate .... that's the two logik way to make it .....
I’ll check it out. Thank you
Also if you could. Make a video on how to do that
haha only on the older models not the 2015 since
Was on tug with 4,12 567 A engines blowers had silencers so more engine sound. They sure are singing.
Sweet roots blower, dewd.
Yeah that whole registering battery thing is cray cray. It for BMW is has to be done.
Dude you can't seen anything you are doing sigh
Thanks for the videos on the MG!
Glad you like them!
Love it 👍🇦🇺
Classic EMD sound!
I'll check my rag bin
😂
I hope you got me a t-shirt😊
Hey thanks more than you know... so my son moved into college today. Locked his key in the trunk. Roadside got us into the car... but not into the trunk. Soo I drove upto him and stopped at a homedepot on the way for a 3 foot clamp. And saved the night. Thank you !!!!!!!
Your welcome
Also as I stated in the previous comments. I keep a string tied to the emergency trunk (boot) release,and run it through the seat
Dang, that blue vintage Porsche! 2:30 ❤❤❤
Thank you!
You’re welcome
it takes 1.25 pints...
Thank you. Being a British car I assume it’s Imperial pint ?
@@hammerandhatchetengineerin4967 good question., i never thought of that. i'll have to look it up! :) ... time passes... yep!, that would be imperial pint. :)
Thank you 😊 for verifying
Keep plugging man!
Thank you

Thanks for the video. My boot won't open on my 218d so looks like I need to go through the back seat.
You’re welcome. I now keep a permanent string attached to the emergency boot release, through the seat so I won’t have to take my seat apart again . Good luck 🍀
@@hammerandhatchetengineerin4967 great Idea. Thank you.
Sometimes lefty ain't so Loosy
Boy did I feel like the fool !

my grandfather used to wash his car with a mixture of dry laundry soap, water and diesel (kerosene) fuel. i suspect he used it, in part, because the roads in his day (b. 1894, d. 1969) were heavily tarred and so were the cars. :)
We did it on the tugboats ,especially black paint,it would really shine!
Nice!! I have a 228i 2014 !!
Thank you: Check out my latest video of how to open the trunk when your battery is completely dead and will not charge. Sorry I’m not Martin Scorsese ! Lol
I'm doing this line replacement now along with the Wilwood disc brake conversion. Any tips?
Yes. Get a tube bender, also go slow and take your time. You can re bend the pipe if you make a mistake ( as long as it’s not kinked ). Also make sure the fittings are seated. If you are trying to tighten the fittings and it doesn’t seem to tighten, you have to make sure the pipes line up. I hope I explained that well.. good luck 🍀
What I mean is if the fittings are slightly off it will feel like you are stripping the threads, so you got to move or slightly bend the pipe until it seats.
@@hammerandhatchetengineerin4967 Thanks man!
BITD i found that the hand crank that came with my '61 MGA came in handy for turning over the engine in a controlled manner. but it looks like there's precious little room in the front of your TD at this time. :) anyway...congrats!! and looking forward to seeing the video of your maiden voyage.
Thank you. Yeah I don’t have a hand crank yet so I’m using my ratchet ,socket on a universal , & extension . So I’m able to turn over the engine before starting
you might want to think about adding a couple of in-line fuel filters. one before the fuel pump and one after. you'd have to cut the metal line of course...and leave it that way for a few thousands of miles. but a couple short lengths of rubber fuel line to connect each end of the filter to the cut ends of the line and two clamps (four per piece of hose) at each connection should keep it from leaking. i don't know how your car is set up from the fuel pump to the carbs, so you'd have to work that out. but it's a good idea on an old tank and lines that have been shown to have a lot of debris in them. ...just a thought. :)
Yes 👍🏻 I definitely will use extra fuel filters. I m on the fence about cutting the fuel line (for originality sake),But thinking about it and also put a extra fuel filter and the facet fuel pump (wired remotely for emergency) near the tank .
couldn't help but laugh when the bottle blew off.....sorry. :) to clean out the tank and the line, you might try throwing a gallon or two of diesel or gasoline in the tank and turning on the ignition. on my TD the fuel pump will run until the float bowls are full (i think), but if the fuel line is disconnected from the carbs it may run as long as there's fuel in the tank... just a guess. i've never tried it. anyway, if that works you might consider running the end of the fuel line back into the tank using a section of rubber fuel hose, that way, you can just hook up a trickle charger to your battery, turn on your ignition and sit back for a hour or two while the whole thing cleans itself. or, i suppose, until your fuel pump burns up, which ever comes first. :)
It got worse, after I was done , I looked over and my BMW’s hood was covered in rusty carb cleaner spots. I did the fastest car wash ever. Checked the hood this morning all good. Note to self move BMW out of the garage when doing experimental stuff
That’s a good idea 👍🏻. However my next project is getting a reliable fuel pump . Hmmm 🤔 I do have the spare facet fuel pump
i fear the cable will eventually get broken off inside the line. ...i'm on the edge of my seat! :)
be careful! you get your finger caught up in the twisted cable, like your glove, and you'll regret it! if the clog is right at the end, i would heat it up with a propane torch....
I f I did that , I might create the 2nd Big Bang theory !!!!
After the Norton, how’s about a ‘68 Guzzi?
My friend has an early td(51) and his didn’t have them. Like I said my car (1953)was missing them. I did get them on the driver side, but they just didn’t fit right , so I took them off . I later read on one of the forums that the aftermarket springs just didn’t fit. Since the early TDs didn’t have them and neither did mine, I just left them off. Hope this helps
I ended up not using them, I found out that a lot of people were having trouble installing the aftermarket ones as they are slightly different from the factory ones. My car didn’t have them on
How did you finally get that spring in - the one at the end of the video?

To squeeze (the teabag) or not to squeeze, that is the question...?
Hello Dollies!!
During the Great War we used our helmets as kettles and Dusty Miller’s false teeth as a strainer. Most of the leaves and dirt got through, but it kept the gravel to a minimum...God Save the Queen!!!
