That's much more for cheap Euro-tat cars! Lol well some of the wires in my early-80's C900's are definitely crumbling. Well more to the point - it's the insulation that's crumbling, leaving bare tarnished copper strand bundles behind! The stuff that creates short-circuits and can be a potential fire hazard if not sorted out early on... Especially around the hottest parts of the engine such as turbo, exhaust manifold, engine block itself, etc. Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page at | Craig's Classic Saab Workshop - Sydney .au http://nospam/~c900 | http://www.classicsaab.net and other URL's Email: c900nospam.apana.org.au | For Saab 99/C900/9000 Enthusiasts World-Wide!
