Return fuel cooler and PCV Catch-Can/Breather installs. | Tail/Trailer lights fuse/junction box in the overhead makes for an easy/clean connection point. I had to replace all the rear light wiring harness, I'm not sure if the rats or the previous owners did the most damage to the mess that was installed.. | New 6 quart radiator overflow tank installed. | With the radiator being lowered almost 2" it was necessary to open up a couple more rows of vents on the rear fairing...very time consuming! | ||
(1 Comments) Nice to see some exterior fairings on it...feels like I'm headed in the right direction! | rough interior cutout for the pass-thru storage | pass side rough interior cut out, took a few adjustments to get it to sit below where I want the new mattress/bed level to be an still be high enough to clear the propane tank opening on the outside. | no way to get around moving the fuel tank opening a couple inches...it will still have plenty of access to the fill neck.. | ||
(3 Comments) followed the rear vericle line on the propane opening and tucked it in just above it's hinge line.. | New 3/8" thick HDPE "Starboard" dash insert. Still quite a bit to go on this but the hard part of getting the exterior shape and the dash shape centered, cut, and attached are done. | (1 Comments) Did I mention the 7hrs of frustration and 2 previous scrapped attempts...? | After a few test starts I noticed my steering input shaft was weeping fluid. This is pretty common on Saginaw steering boxes. The proper rebuild kit is Gates 350350, it has the 13/16" input shaft bearing and seals. You can change these without removing the steering box. | ||
