G`day Zorba , Was just about to do another post also i didn`t mention the other end of the motor , being the brush end runs a bush and it had pretty much no wear nothing like enough to replace but the bearing was no good and had up and down movement and noise . So a bearing the pump end and bush the brush end Can`t do pics the pumps on the 94 and don`t have one off a P38 but there is a pump from a P38 winging it`s way to me from the coast of gold . So i`ll know within a week ( i hope ) if the answer is yes , in which case i`ll use it and if the answers no , i`ll still make use of what ever parts are the same . Cheers --Previous Message-- : G'day Peter : A couple of pics would really help. : : --Previous Message-- : Hi All : The Compressor on our 94 has been a bit : noisy of late, which i put down to mounts or : rubbing. : Changed the mounts for P38 mounts, noise : still there and not touching. : Tracked it down to the (may be something to : know)..6201 twin sealed .. bearing that is : on the front/pump end of the compressor : motor. : It has had a piston/rod/sleeve fitted a : couple of yrs ago by the previous owner. : I broke 1 of the brushes when putting it : together in a rush and not taking enough : care. : Made another 1 out of an old brush from the : old starter from the '85, filed into shape. : The above is only the lead into my question. : Other than the P38 compressor being mounted : upside down in comparison to the classic : type and the P38 type using 3 mounts where : the classic type uses 4, are the units the : same thing with different detachable end : plates, well 1 ends the same and 1s not? : Not clear? : Both compressors have what seem to be the : same plate for the 2 mounts on 1 end. : On the other END 1 compressor has a plate : that is able to support 1 other mount and 1 : compressor has a plate that is able to : support 2 other mounts. : On this END of both compressors are these : plates interchangeable thus making it : possible to convert a P38 type 3 mount : compressor into a Classic type 4 mount : compressor and the other way around. : Cheers : Peter :
