TB removal and then some!!!

[Roadster]

Pic #1....during the cleaning phase... that crud was caked on there...tough to remove....
Pic #2....cleaned and removed "o" ring....it did clean up good after this pic and is still very pliable...but I will probably replace...
Pic #3....LS head is cleaned...still plenty of cleaning to do...obviously much more accessible with everything out of the way....20210306_173206.jpg20210306_174306.jpg20210306_174331.jpg

FYI....which may be common knowledge already....the pic shows the gear to cooler hose... what I found out is there is not a specific hose out there for the ZR-1 VIN J....but it appears that the VIN P hose is exact and IMO actually works out better as it is 18" in length...our hose in the pic is only 9" long...so a benefit for us...as all we need to do is cut to length...and therefore no need to make a custom hose and connector....

In the second pic....this is the clamp that attaches the hose to the cooler line....don't know if this clamp can be reused....or where to purchase....[emoji16]20210307_102652.jpg20210307_102702.jpg

I think those may be PEX crimp clamps. I don?t think they can be reused.
No sure of size but link is for 3/8?.

Just got back from Auto Zone....they have the pump to reservoir hose by Duralast that is 36" long .. obviously you can do a few vehicles with it....they also have it by the foot....but it did not seem as strong as the packaged hose...the loose one felt like it would be prone to kink or even collapse under use....JMO...
The hose from the pump to the cooler is 3/8" and using fuel line hose which feels just as strong as the one its replacing....also ordered the VIN P gear to cooler hose online through another vendor....and will cut to fit....
The Duralast feels as strong as the original pump to reservoir hose...in that it will hold its shape in use....20210307_134019.jpg20210307_134028.jpg

Gear to cooler VIN P hose came just a few minutes ago with the new rack...
Hose is a perfect match for our VIN J...screwed into the old rack perfectly...making sure it fits...no need to make new connections...also attached with PEX clamp at the top...just cut hose to size and add PEX clamp to the cooler tube end...and back in business... 20210310_145022.jpg20210310_144121.jpg

Unboxed the rack to check it out...everything looks good...only disappointment was that it did not include tie rod ends like was shown in the ad....will check it out...but probably get 2 new ones....most likely the greasable type...20210310_211642.jpg

Hello Bob....called them yesterday and mentioned that the end tie rods are in the pic on ebay...and that I was under the impression that they were included....all they needed was a pic of the rack in the shipping box... which I sent them...and no questions asked...they sent out 2 outer tie rods by UPS yesterday @NC....so it was really a very good buy with the purchase IMO....
