Installing two low cost UPS batteries into a 1972 & 73 Porsche 911 tiny battery pockets Dave Mathews 2025-09-19 | On the 1972 and 1973 Porsche 911, they used unusually small battery compartments (sometimes called “battery boxes” or “battery wells”) up front, one on each side of the trunk.You can use a pair of 12 volt larger sized Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS batteries with 40 Amp hour which in parallel configuration goes up to 80 Ah. For reference an optima yellow top battery is 72 Amp hour. This video shows how to use 3/8 Stud Posts made of lead Super Start #01347 to solve the connection difference. #911restoration #aircooled911 #porsche911 #vintageporsche #electricalgremlins Sizes: • Each side was designed for a small 6-volt style battery, but by that time Porsche fitted two 12-volt units in parallel (one in each side box) instead of a single large battery. • The wells are roughly 7 x 7 inches (about 180 x 180 mm) with limited depth, so only a very compact 12-volt battery would fit. • The group sizes that most closely match today are around DIN 41/42 (European small case), or in U.S. sizing, something near Group 22NF — but even those can be a tight squeeze.Why Porsche did this: 1. Weight distribution: Porsche was chasing handling balance. Two small batteries, one in each front corner, offset the rear-biased weight of the flat-six. Spreading the batteries apart improved front-end balance, especially for the 911’s tendency toward oversteer. 2. Packaging constraints: The narrow “long hood” front trunk of the ’72-’73 didn’t have much spare room. Splitting the battery into two smaller units allowed Porsche to use existing chassis geometry without enlarging or reshaping the front tub. 3. Electrical load at the time. The cars didn’t require the same cold-cranking amps as later models (smaller alternators, fewer accessories), so two small 12V units were enough.By 1974, Porsche redesigned the front structure (with crash bumpers and a different inner tub), and they moved to a single larger 12-volt battery tray on the right side that are easier, cheaper, and more compatible with modern batteries.
Porsche 911 Turbo 930 & Turbo Look DIY Removing Wheel Spacers & Rear Brake Rotors Step-by Step Guide Dave Mathews 2025-09-11 | Porsche 930 911 Turbo and Turbo Look has a spacer over the rear rotor vs a regular 911. Here’s how to deal with both the wheel spacer and the rear brake rotor:1. Wheel Spacer Removal (rear hubs)930s came with factory 21 mm rear spacers to widen track and fit the Turbo flares. • After removing the wheel, you’ll find the spacer sitting over the studs. • The spacer is just a slip-on piece, not bolted. • Often it’s stuck in place from years of corrosion and dirt. It will be hard to see that it is aluminum if it's oxidized like the rotor. • Spray some penetrating oil (PB Blaster, Kroil, etc.) around the hub/spacer joint. • Use a rubber mallet or dead-blow hammer to tap around the spacer evenly while turning the rotor with your hand. • If really seized, use two flat pry bars 180° apart and work slowly to walk it off the hub. • Clean the hub face with a wire brush before reassembly.2. Rear Brake Rotor RemovalThe rotor is held in place by one or two small screws with a Phillips #3 head.Steps: 1. Remove the wheel and spacer as per above. 2. Unbolt the rear brake caliper (two 19 mm bolts at the back). • Hang the caliper securely with wire or a bungee — don’t let it dangle on the brake lines! 3. Remove the screws and pull the rotor off the hub. • If it’s stuck, spray penetrating oil around the hub center. Also you can put a screwdriver into a slot at the rear to un-expand the parking brake. • Tap gently on the rotor hat with a rubber mallet to break it free. 4. On the 930, the rotor is integrated with the rear hub on some years, but most ’78–’89 cars have separate rotors. If yours doesn’t budge, it might be pressed/rusted to the hub flange.⚠️ Note: Behind the rear rotor is the drum-style parking brake assembly. Be careful not to damage the shoes or springs when removing the rotor. You can find the slotted screw and turn this with a flat headed screwdriver to compress it.3. Tips • If you plan to reinstall the rotor, check for cracks, rotor thickness and runout. • Always torque wheel lugs to spec (94 ft-lbs on 930). • Consider applying a thin coat of anti-seize on the hub face before putting the aluminum spacer back, so it’s not a pain next time.Thanks for watching!

How to fix random Indmar GM 350 engine overheating on a lake cooled boat with a raw water pump. Dave Mathews 2025-06-24 | If you have a MasterCraft or other ski boat and have random overheating on your boat, which sends it to limp mode then do this:1. Check your raw water pump on the PTO (the opposite of transmission) to make sure the rubber pump splines are intact.2. Check the bottom input side of the transmission cooler with your fingers to feel if there is rubber bits from a past perished pump, or lake debris blocking the input. Remove the top of the hose too and look through it with a light shining from the bottom.3. If your bottom pickup has a water strainer, then check for algae inside of that - as you can see mine is cleaned up and it was still overheating.4. Check to see if your steel reinforced pickup hose has perished due to heat and oil in the hull. My inner portion of the hose was collapsing and the outer side looked fine! The hose delaminated from the two halves and suction from the raw water pump was pulling the hose closed which caused the engine to overheat and go into limp mode after driving in warm water for a while. Idle and low speed was fine, so this was a hard one to figure out!Hopefully this video will get you back on the water!
How to fix stuck steering in a MasterCraft or Ski Nautique with a Dometic SS141 stainless steel line Dave Mathews 2025-06-02 | If your steering is tight, and hard to turn lock to lock in your waterski boat, then the stainless steel line that connects the helm station steering wheel to the top of the rudder is getting corroded. You can try spraying something like PB Blast or WD40 in there, but that may only get you back to port. Eventually it will break the gears on your steering wheel output shaft or the cable itself which will leave you stranded! Here's the quick way to fix your steering in a MasterCraft or Ski Nautique with a Domestic SS141 series cable. These come in 14-20 foot lengths. My boat is a X Star which is 20' 6" LOA which comes with a 19' steering cable. My local boat shop only had a 20' in stock, which works fine, but shows a little inside the starboard front bunk.I route my cables on top of the fuel tank, which is much easier than fighting the ribs under the fuel tank, and doesn't require you to remove the carpet. Note, I tried a 16' steering cable initially, but that did not fit. I assumed the extra length gained by running on top of the fuel tank would allow that to fit, but it didn't!

Fixing a 1985 Porsche Air valve broken plastic vacuum line nipple Dave Mathews 2025-04-24 | If you've got a 1984 through 1986 or so 911, you have an air valve in the right hand side of the engine connected to the oil tank one-way valve that was designed with a vacuum line on the top, which definitely breaks when you stick your arm in there to do other things.The part number is 93020722700 and has been superseded to 93020722702 which has the vacuum line on the side, vs the top, but that one requires a new mount, and runs about $100 for both pieces at the time I recorded this. Those numbers go up all of the time.So I was thinking "what is that 2.8mm diameter for the vacuum hose and has a hole in the middle?" Turns out the guts of a pen had the right stuff for the fix.Enjoy the video and let me know what hacks you find for repairing your old cars!

Testing the oil cooler from a Ram 1500 3.0 Ecoboost for leaks due to oil in coolant. Dave Mathews 2024-11-28 | You can use acetone which has a low specific gravity to pour into chambers and see if leaks occur between them. I’ve done this on boat exhaust manifolds, and anything with a metal chamber which could have cracks or pin holes. This prevents the need for building a plate to fit to the surface of oddly shaped vessels which you would need to do in order to test pressure with air or water. Just know that acetone evaporates quickly and take that into consideration! You can also reuse it, just mark the bottle that it’s used acetone so you don’t get debris on new paint work!

What the oil looks like in a MasterCraft Indmar V8 boat that suffered freeze damage. Dave Mathews 2024-05-21 | This 2002 MasterCraft boat did not have the water drained from the block and exhuast risers and had catastrophic damage when the engine was frozen due to the cold spell in Texas in February 2020.The heads and blocked were cracked and this required a full engine block replacement.Since the engine was run with a cracked block, water was introduced from the cooling system into the oil. The engine runs, but it is compromised as the oil is mostly water. This will ruin the rings, score the cylinders and of course rust the crank.

Reassemble a Porsche 911 F & G body 911 door handle, latch, window regulator, felt and window guides Dave Mathews 2023-07-08 | Inside the 911 door is a work of “perfect clank when closed” art. To get everything working correctly there is a sequence of events that you need to reassemble the parts in, for the puzzle to fit. Here are my steps and a quick video to show you. 1. Outer door felt. Use pliers to push the clips into the holes2. Connect latch rods for the lock and the internal handle to the latch3. Install the latch with the single screw facing up. Wiggle the latch though the hole in the door to get it in. 4. Route the rods tor the lock and door pull through the rubber guides into the door metal. Bolt down the door lock swivel after you put the threaded rod into the door grommet for the lock plastic. 5. Put the window regulator down (horizontal in nature) in through the large slot at the bottom of the door.6. Feed the glass with the left mechanism inside the door and put it at an angle so you can slide the window guides onto the regulator. 7. Mount the regulator where it needs to be and the glass will follow. 8. Slide in the front vent window if you have a targa, then slide the rear guide in or the single glass window frame for normal tops. Loosely tighten until you install so you can get the proper angle orientation. 9. Roll the window up and install the door handle from the outside. Press down on the V mechanism to fit it over the door lock peg. 10. Tighten everything up once you check the window glass angles. You can tighten the glass to the body by adjusting the frame. 11. Install the inner door window felt toward the inside so it touches the glass and then install the vapor barrier and door panels. Thanks for watching!
Rebuilding the window regulator spring assist in a Classic Porsche 911 Dave Mathews 2023-07-06 | A window regulator sits between the handle that you control and the glass and provides a bit of tension on a central pivot point to boost or assist in the raising of the window.This screw often cracks and does not allow the tension to assist in the lifting.Here's how to fix it, once you get the door panel off. You can do this repair with the doors on the vehicle, mine was off for paint work, so I fixed it then...The Window regulator repair kit can be found on eBay or Pelican as REND-DH16Good luck!
Fix your trailer with surge brakes to allow you to back up your boat! Dave Mathews 2023-06-08 | If you have a boat trailer, it may have surge brakes. If they work, which usually the hydraulic fluid is evaporated and they don't, and if you don't have the yellow wire on the harness connected between the brake solenoid and your reverse lights, then there won't be a hydraulic brake bypass loop for the fluid.The solution? Put a socket or slug of metal between the oval where the pin slides and the trailer hitch arm mounts. You may need a friend to hold it there as you apply reverse pressure; then have them get out of the way as you back up.It's a simple fix to the problem of backing up with working trailer brakes...
Walmart piloted RFID technology for inventory in Dallas and WFAA covered a protest against them. Dave Mathews 2022-12-21 | The first barcodes were on train cars to track them along the routes. It is fast and efficient. I love machine readable code. In fact, back in the late 90's my team created the first consumer barcode reader for reading UPC codes of products and taking them to Internet web sites. When I found out there was a protest at a Dallas Walmart in October 2005 that was piloting RFID technology that they were using for pallets, I decided I too would PRO-test. That's show up and talk about the PROs of RFID... I created signs to promote the technology and was the only "marcher" in the for vs against category.It got a bit too religious with the other marchers, but the story unfold in a way I could never predict... My old host on TXCN, where I previously had a technology segment for years came out to do a story for WFAA on the protesters and said "thank God you're here to breath some sense into this story." It was a good laugh for me, and RFID and other wireless technologies haven't slowed their march.Spy Chips Walmart channel 8 outside of Dallas Texas.

The First Automobile - Benz Patent Motorcar 1885 - 1886 - Pre Mercedes! Dave Mathews 2022-11-30 | The first car that Benz built, or anyone built was on a three wheel chassis with tiller steering. It fit two adults, or one mother and her two children on its famous 180 kilometer first ever road trip by Mrs Bertha Benz. On this drive she used a hat pin to clean a carburetor jet and a garter to fix a belt. No big deal for an inventor's wife, I'm sure.It used a compact high-speed single-cylinder four-stroke engine horizontally mounted at the rear of a tubular steel frame, connected to the differential and three wire-spoked wheels. The output was 0.75 HP. Details included an automatic intake slide, a controlled exhaust valve, high-voltage electrical vibrator ignition with spark plug, and water/thermo siphon evaporation cooling.Patented as number 37435.

How to rebuild an Indmar raw water pump the right way for your MasterCraft or Ski Nautique Dave Mathews 2022-08-20 | The Indmar 68-5020 or other pumps are commonly used on the PTO (power take off) secondary side of the engine to bring water from the lake into your boat for cooling. These can leak on the PTO side and slowly fill your bilge. This video shows you the common copper washer that most people forget and the order of the parts to put the pump together the correct way from the rebuild kit!You can buy these parts much cheaper piece by piece, or get a kit the next time you replace your impeller and install them all at once. It’s best to be safe and carry the impeller on your boat with you, in case it shreds due to dirt from the lake! If you have a raw water screener that helps to keep things clean on the input side. Oh, one cool thing to know, the impeller can accept input water though either port, so you can connect the hoses in a more natural way, like raw on the bottom and output on the top to keep things clean and kink free below your motor.
SeaDoo Spark Rotax water pump gasket leaking & repair. Dave Mathews 2022-07-31 | The OEM black gasket on the 2015/2016 SeaDoo Spark with the 60/90 horsepower engine was leaking after heat damage. The original part number 420431680 has been superseded to 420431682, which is a green gasket and is .5 MM thicker. It’s a simple replacement but you need an E8 torx socket to remove the plastic water pump, some lock tite to reinstall it and will need to remove your air intake box to make room inside the hull.

The Bearcat 2500XLT continuous coverage police scanner from 1993. Dave Mathews 2021-11-15 | In the 90’s police scanners could be modified to open up the 800Mhz band to listen to UHF TV and analog cellular phones.
