So some PO used a garden hose to for one of the water lines to the heater. Stupid PO. It really aged poorly:

Note to self. Try adding some garden hose to a repair kit.

Got some of @SMG's hood hinge pins. One old pin came out easily. The other REALLY did not want to move. Heat was not an option given the original green patina. We reached an understanding.

It was worth it.

Think I'll try one bronze bushing in the middle.

I'd heard the metal bowl fuel filters could be swapped out for the older glass, and was pleased to learn it's true. You do need to swap over the clip too however. Matt sells the filters with adaptor hardware for various fuel lines.

Shiny stuff. Correct '65 battery tray.

The brown Tokairikadenki auxiliary light socket was busted. Had a black one and cleaned it up.

It's alive!

Saving the brown socket for future repairs, when I get a round tuit.
