Went out and replaced the rear lock on the ambulance donor and found the threads were wiped on the door handle and had to pry out on the plate to put pressure on the nut. Have another one coming from CCOT and had a good price.

Before removing the lock

Installed the new lock and had to use the old spring clip because I dropped the new one.

I put the DS apron on to see what kind of room I have and started looking for a place to mount the Cummins fuel filter. Then straightened the old bracket that I don't remember what it was for and prepped to mount the fuel filter on the fire wall

Apron in place

Cut a piece of flat bar and laid out bolt holes to bolt to the fire wall.

Drilled the other two holes in the firewall for M10 bolts

Bolted the flat bar to the firewall

Laid out some 2"x1/2" flat bar to bolt the fuel filter head too then cut with a chop saw

Used some C- channel to weld the flat bars together and have the stand off to get around the stiffener on the firewall and bolted the filler to the bracket.
Once the fenders are done will have inner fenders fabricated to provide clearance to drop the filter and protect for anything coming from the tires.
