Yeah, you might have to. I don't know what I did wrong on it, and I'm scared to take it again!

John,

Did you manage to get those pictures from Warren onto a CD/DVD?

If you did I would like to see them. Hopefully you were able to get some better shots than I did. I can also batch upload those pics to the website for you if you like.

Randy, I believe you are correct about the floor pans.

They did arrive here at my office today. They are labeled 51-56 Packard (Made in U.S.A.).

While I have not yet held them up to my existing floor pans, they are different. I think it's a generic design the will fit any of the 51-56 Packards/Clippers, but they are not a reproduction of the factory stampings. They are a simplier design. Maybe this was done to make them more generic across any differences in the 51-56 Series/Models.

They may take a little working to get them to fit, but I think the overall bends and shape is about right.

I wont be able to tell until I try to lay them onto the exisitng pans.

Worst come to worst, they will make a good basis for patch panels.

Eric, are we going to have to take away your big hammer?

What do u use when u need to replace a compensator spring????

I'm not even going to tell you guy's what I got, I'm so ashamed!

Sorry moderator. Like I said, it is inches thick, and I would wear out several scanners putting all that data on line. Don't ask me how I know that! Cheap scanners ain't that hot.

Peter, I'm sorry you sheared off a perfectly good compensator valve and stem...I know how expensive they are to get, not because they themselves are expensive, but because you have to buy a whole blasted $75 kit to get another one!

I hope others in the group have benefitted from your experience. Push the pedal in before installing the compensator assembly, for Pete's sake (sorry, couldn't resist).

Lastly, I'd like to correct one small mis-statement...lie?...I made. You only have to buy *three* of the four Bendix kits to get all the parts they provide in them. And you still don't get the lousy compensator spring. The major kit has all the parts the minor kit has.

Now, if some group member could kindly reveal where he bought his three Bendix kits, I would find my business here complete and satisfying.

G'day Mal, I am picking up the rotary engine powered pump tomorrow morning and it is a "Sachs". I have done a bit of research and if you asked me the same questions again I would say yes, it is from an NSU. This is because Felix Wankel invented the engine, but it was a radical change to a rotary compressor which NSU used as a motorbike supercharger in the early 1950's. Well done Mal. Peter
