Chrome screw kit
« on: October 12, 2020, 08:28:32 »
I've bought several chrome screw kits from Chrome-schreiber and they are excellent.
The screws come in individual packets, each numbered with an accompanying chart to decode the numbers to give you the correct location for that packet.
The one drawback is that the index chart comes in German.
I have asked the vendor for a digital copy of the index so I can google translate by copying and pasting but he point blank refuses.
Have we got any German language speakers here that might like to do it?
Obviously it can then me made available for members.

Hello Colin,

Could do that for you too, being a native German.
You can email me your list via PM, my email is shown there as well.

This is great Stick. I could use a set too once it’s in English.

Authentic Classics also have them.

After going to a fair bit of work and bother to reproduce heat shields, only to find out that we were a bit late to the show, I research the market first before committing to a project.

There's no project here Dan , save for translating a document from German to English.

Yes, the terminology is almost exactly what I send to Colin. When translating your are faced with several issues:

German to technical English
Using Automotive terms
Difference between American English and "Queen's English"
Taking apart the German strung-together words.
The application description is difficult to identify unless you see a parts diagram

But I think we got it all covered.
