We have a Shasta that we purchased several years ago and I just noticed on our last outing that there are two straps attached to the last hoops on the stationary end. They have two loops sewn in on the non attached side and extend almost across to the othe other side. We don't have a clue what...
I just finished reading some of your posts where a guy had basically the same wiring issues I have. The plug was discarded and replaced with 5 individual wires, all red. Thankfully, they were numbered on both ends. Do you sell the connectors for both ends? Is rehabbing the switch viable?
I've got a 75 FJ40 that has less than brilliant headlights. After replacing the headlights and not seeing any improvement I proceeded to check for wiring and connection issues. I discovered there was a voltage drop of a little over 2 volts coming out of the switch. I cleaned all the...
If I understand your response correctly, you're referencing stabilizing after parking. I'm trying to minimize swaying from side to side while towing. The chain idea is sort like a stabilizer to limit body roll.
I have a trailer that I repurposed into a camping trailer. I have a CVT tent mounted on it that is 5 feet from the ground. I experience a certain amount of rocking back and forth from side to side that a little disconcerting at times. I put air shocks under it has leaf springs as well as set...
Yea, I'm trying to figure out how to do that. I was looking at the before pics last night and I've been working on this so long that I forgot how bad it was before I started. Felt so good about the results I grabbed a beer out of the frig to celebrate.
I started mine. Blew a head gasket a year and half ago and after I pulled the engine for a rebuild, one thing led to another and another and so on. The fenders and bib go back on this weekend. I pulled everything of the firewall and got a pretty decent paint job on it. My first painting...
Do I have to drop the oil pan to remove cam while the engine is still in? it seems nearly impossible to guide the cam through the bearings without having access to the back of the cam for guiding.
I took the aprons off the fenders and I'm spraying those parts and the bib this morning using Nason single stage paint. The plan is to put these back on Thursday around midday. My question is, will the paint be cured enough by then to start handling them that soon. I'm getting close to...
I have a Fairey that was working when I took it out. I had to replace my transmission at the time and as I recall I damaged some small pieces during the dismantle and never looked for replacements. I had thoughts of selling it complete as a parts unit. It came out of my 75. I know what you...
I just finished taking my 2F apart today and every piston had the top ring broken. This is my fourth engine that I've torn down (hardly an expert) but I've never encountered broken rings like this. The ridge at the top of the cylinders were not excessive, but you could catch your thumbnail on...
