When i repower something I ocasionally end up needing a very long, odd shaged radiater hose. I make up some shrpe corners by using copper plumbing fittings. then connect them with the proper lenght of radiater hose. it may work for you. I have a M37 with a 5.9 Cummins and 75 Plymouth Duster...

Just to stir the pot a little. When you replace the master cylinder you need to keep in mind the ratio of the master cylinde dipacemnet per stroke to the wheel cylinder volumn needed. ( cylinder bore diameter ) I found that out when I replaced the master with one that was too small. I thought...

I know what you mean about DMV people. ( in Minnesota too)I had a real frankenstien on my first trip to get an M37 title last fall. Then on my followup trip I got a different guy and he actually appolagized for the first guy's treatment of me. Things proceeded as smooth as could be with him...

Dozer1. It will have to wait a few months before I do anything with the XM211. I have an experimental Biplane that needs some work. Then there is firewood to cut for next year.( Minnesota, you know) I get half of my house heat from wood. 18,000 lbs of wood a year. :( Ray

I looked at STS,s M37 and see no differences from mine. I guess that it's just a mater of minor variations. ZAK, when I reskinned the cowl, I went right over the original sheet metal. then I drilled the winshield pivot holes from the inside, using the old holes as a guide. The new cowl is now...

What's this? Nobody has an opinion!
