Pablo,
Great pictures and nothing boring about them. In your next installment, let us know what you did to the rod and it's cradle, to stop future rust. I'm thinking about powder coating the rod, then covering it in light coat of Super lube. Just thinking at this point.
Keep it coming, I'm enjoying every bit.
Okay, thanks Ron for letting me know I am not boring you all. I am home sick from work yesterday and today, but today had things I had to get done, so I'll see if I an bang out a few more updates.
For the lift mehanism, all we did was sand off all the surface rust and paint everything, inside and out. The Super Lube would have been a good idea! Although I have no desire to take that over back off. That was a pain.
I did find my scans from the FSM on the lift mechanism. Note the part where they use the block of wood to get things in place, this is a good idea...
