I bought a 57 S60 D5 185 needing a bit of tlc. One of the problems is this Swirl Flap nonsense. The lever is solidly connected to the motor but the engine end is off. I like the idea of the glue and latex, and the tie-wrap solution, but has anyone tried epoxy steel. I'm thinking of getting the engine hot and then smearing some e-steel on the inside of the lever before sliding it over the steel ball and then covering either side of the lever with the e-steel - and then leaving it for about 48 hours.
Any particular thoughts on why this wouldn't work before I start?
