Cutting my rear heater hose to length. I still need to trim the rear mat for final installation of the housing. Still looking for a good solid used core.

I love "guess the part" I would have figured that holder was for the hood-rod.... and spent hours trying to fit it.

hose on the intake manifold.

figured that holder was for the hood-rod.

I did the same thing. Every conceivable option I could think of. Then I connected the overflow tank hose to the radiator and the light bulb came on.

Thanks Dave. I am just polishing an old shoe. I've been watching your "build" with covetous eye LoL. That is going to be one nice TLC when you are done.

Mystery part #2 solved. Thanks @JohnnyC and @White Stripe for your help. Resistor is/was for a radio. I don't have a radio so this goes in the spare/obsolete parts can with the "Flux capacitor".

If I can "git roun to it" this week I am going to finally install the Transmission to Transfer Case Bypass Hose from @shipmag. Installing as a preventive maintenance measure at this point. I bought this hose last spring but was OBE with other "issues". Anticipating firing the ole' mule up in the near future. So, I want to install the hose beforehand. Should be a straight forward installation.

Cleaned up the charcoal canister (Just because). Used a little "Go-Jo" and a soft cloth...I'll hit it with an old soft cleaning brush later this PM.

Prepping the slave cylinder and bowl for bleeding. I gravity bled the system as I was the only muldune I could talk into assisting...

 

[Chungas Revenge]

System is full and no leaks.

Charcoal canister bracket needs work. I'll run it through the blasting cabinet in the AM.

What kind of blaster are you using for small stuff? Cabinet type?

 

[Chungas Revenge]

Cabinet type?

Yes, its a medium size cabinet, foot operated. I don't recall the brand name. I'll post up a pic later today.

What kind of blaster are you using for small stuff?

Snap-On cabinet makes short work of most items. When time permitted I used this cabinet on a lot of the smaller items on the mule.

Charcoal bracket cleaned up nicely. I hit it with a coat of primer earlier and I'll paint it in the AM. Mail room was closed today so the post-man did not come through with the remaining stainless clamps. Before / after.
