rear body mounts (8 Viewers)

I'm lucky I clear the end of my shoes anymore, forget aiming three feet out.

It’s wierd, I think they call it turger- pressure behind the flow. Ah the days when it was a distance game!
Wierd topic, but it’s definitely something when going through one knows.

‘Not very elegant”. Yeah right JMack! Beautiful! I write down stuff so other dummies can get it done as well as to reference later. JMack does it for us!

Admittedly not an eloquent solution but a solution nonetheless.



Top left shows the parts made from Home Depot 1.5” ABS fittings, I cut the bell and glued a 1/8” section back on the pipe to form a barb to prevent the flex line from slipping off.

Top right shows the 1” orifice I glued into the Y’s to restrict the flow going to the side window vents.



Middle picture shows the two Y’s or technically one Y and one T attached to the 90’s and how they orientate under the dash. Because of space constraints this combination of fittings may not be the best for proper air flow but they will fit and get air were I need it.



Bottom picture shows how the 90’s fit inside the hacked up factory defroster vents, I still need to dissemble everything to wrap the wiring harness and I will clean up the vents then. The 90’s will also get some self-tapping screws to secure them to the factory vents on final assembly.

Hell yeah!
All the way to the little barbs on the abs.

Now I just gotta figure out the fronts and this part will be off the list.

Thats when the Back lean comes in Ron!! Dont give ya much but an inch or so. It works though . Until ya got a bad Back WTF.

A question for you LS guys.
When I took these off I did not mark driver and passenger.
Is there a driver and passenger side?

I need to use these harnesses. I am pretty sure there is a front and back, yes? Just don’t know how to tell which side each came from.

Each day I get closer to running this baby! Thanks for the help!

 

[RUSH55]

It’ll be a matter of cylinder # more so than passenger or driver side.

Take a look through some of these and see if you can identify the wire colors for each cylinder

With everything still connected to the bracket I found a bracket landmark and compared it to engine pics. This one I’m pointing at is at the front on the drivers side while it is on rear on the passenger side.

Cat skinned?

 

[scrapdaddy]

I agree! That bracket is in the front on driver's side and in the back on Pass. side.

EDIT....On mine.

Dats y we ax fo pics alda time

 

[xtiaan2000]

I think you’ll find not shortages of pics here!

 

[bobm]

Yes you Rrramped it up

Little things getting done. Welding is cool!

A little bondo and call it good.
I wish I could perfectly blend, but what usually happens is that I blend tooooo much and burn a hole. So lite blending from now on.

 

[RUSH55]

That ain’t bad at all!

I don’t want to think about how much times I spent on my trans hump. In the end it ended up with bed liner. Looks good on top, but the underside is a mess… keep up the good work

 

[xtiaan2000]

it turns out I had received the wrong wiring harness so I switched gears and got some more AC stuff done while I waited for the new one to show up.

I got to the firewall. Probably try to get those hoses a little tighter.

Now have to order some parts for the engine side. I need some more hose, a dryer and a condenser.

Any of you remember what size condenser you bought? I imagine the biggest possible.

Also got to figure out how the plunbing will go with the rear heater. Maybe another bulk head?

Oh I added two inches to these guys

 

[xtiaan2000]

Bought these a looooonnnng time ago after Abqcruiser gave me the beta. My old ones were all over the place! Nighttime driving through sleet up a Mtn and the driver side would get caught on the outside of the A pillar. Makes for rough driving!
I bought the wrong ones tho (2.5” instead of the 3.5”) so no chance to return now. So instead I customized!
Now I have some recessed wipers. Kinda like Ferrari would do.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Each of those motors weigh about 8lbs!
I feel like my wipers will cut through mud and ice now!

 

[xtiaan2000]

I would have hoped they would have cast some bolt holes in this computer for mounting, but no. Gotta figure out where this thing will live (engine compartment-cab) and the how to mount in place. Was thinking it might be cool to attach to the underside of the hood.



Definitely intimidated by this octopus! 90% just plugs in and there is that last ten that leaves me scratching my head. :/

 

[TachedOutOffRoad]

I stared in awe/ disbelief at my harness for a long time too.

Fuel pump, accessory switch, on switch, not much else. EZ peasey.

Enjoy!!

I feel like the would instantly get covered in mud and muck where we ride.

Not the case everywhere though

You need to buy the optional light cleaner kit!
