Motor mounts were split in the front which I’m sure led to the rear bolts being bent and nearly broken.
They are all replaced now.

Man a Fre sells these terrible shackle reversal kits but ironically they also sell the kits to undo them. The Wizard is inbound to burn these in for me

This one is a 1978 and I’m kinda hoping no one that had a legit Cruiser shop at any point was responsible for this work. Granted it’s at least a 16-17 year old build but lots of goofy stuff they did.

Beautiful. Better than ever. F a shackle reversal.
Just searched the Manafre site...do you have a Part number or link for the reversal reversal kit?

Got the flip kit and IMS shocks installed.
Rebuilt the center arm. Seems someone had rebuilt it at some point but they missed the part about loosening the spring nut a turn. It was super stiff.
Added the relay rod and the new Dobinsons stabilizer as well.

I had to replace that one with the plugs with a new one because it was cracked and did not notice

I got most all of my stuff back from PowderKeg and I started bolting things back on the mighty 2F with a pile of Overland Metric bolts
Looks Great.

Last two … all set loose until I get the bumper on. These bumper supports are curved up from the prior jackass but I think I can monkey they back into place
Edit..plates were upside down. Can’t have those pics floating around out there. Will fix when I get back in the shop. Thanks Mark.

One of the smartest things I’ve done in this arena was getting a batch of overland metric bolts/nuts/washers.
So nice to always have a stock of correct hardware at hand.

It’s not cheap but it’s proper.

I like your taste in alternators Nolen; I have had one on mine for 13 years and it has been flawless and reliable. Powers everything no matter what the load, headlights do not dim at idle, etc.

I’ve never used one. The owner had this installed. I’m a big fan of a one wire setup but I usually use a 60 series alternator.
