    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    But it is only for the patient and brave. If I was being paid to do it, I would walk away. Maybe I can get good at it and provide a CUCV wing vent overhaul service.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    This picture shows window frame with the new rubbers installed before the vent glass is attached. This is the completed right wing vent assembly ready to install. This last picture shows my OEM left wing Vent with the chrome handle and the chrome outer button on the glass. I had to buff down a...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Anyone that is not patient and persistent should not involve themselves in over hailing the wing vents. These are the 2-piece design and let me tell you they put me thru 3-4 hours to do the passenger's side only. I feel I learned a little but not much. I must do the driver's side but sure am not...

    I was looking at my own post and seen I did not post the picture of the new turn signal switch. Everything is nice clean and new. Happy. Started on my wing vents. Painted and drying at the moment. Take Care.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Today after work it was not a very nice day outside so I completed the steering column in the basement of my home. I bought a tube of white lithium grease and cleaned and lubed every moving part. I installed a new turn signal switch because I had several and thought may as well change it, I...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    After church I went to the basement and looked at my steering column rebuild project. I was dragging behind looking for parts and I finally have them Al together. I was looking hard for the OEM parts I knew I had. I am finding many things I forgot I had. I have everything clean and now want to...

    M1008 Exhaust System Question

    Don’t they have pipe bending shops in Europe? I live out in the sticks and we can get mandrill bent exhaust pipes made for any vehicle. Good Luck. My Son made single exhaust on his CUCV. It sounded good and was half the cost. They were all parts made at an exhaust shop,

    Parts location 6.2 lift pump supply line

    I must be a Magician because I used standard fuel line on several units and just ran it a bit longer and covered it with split loom. I wire tied it fast and it worked for years. Yes if you make the tight bent it is going to kink. But the fuel don’t care if it has to travel a bit further. While...

    No, the cylinder is not out, and I am not worried about getting it out anymore. I will lube it and reassemble the column.

    Driver side alternator Bracket/spacers.

    That has a nut stud (double sided stud) set up there and that makes a difference if that is installed correctly.

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I dove right in after church and took the entire column apart and cleaned it. I also spent an hour scrubbing the steering wheel. I want it to look as OEM as possible and I installed the key sensor back in the column. I think the column looks great. I am not going to paint the column. I will be...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I have done my research and by disassembling another CUCV steering column and studying the contacts in question on my current column I can affirm that it is a key in ignition sensor and would not have worked on a CUCV because it does not have door jam switches to complete the ground to active...

    Driver side alternator Bracket/spacers.

    Do you still have the engine lift bracket in place? It should be behind the driver's side alternator.

    Starter stud.

    That stud on the back of the starter to the support bracket runs thru the entire length of the starter. I can get you one of them from a scrap starter. I can even tell you where else to get one. www.leidyrepair.com
