    rear goat covers

    At $400 I'm not interested. I have a cover that I can use as a sample to have one made, that's the route I'm going.

    VWM Harness warning

    That company changed hands last year but is still using the same name, don't recall where the new owner was, might have been VA. I have several harnesses from the original Maine company from many years ago and all are standi8ng up fine.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    No part numbers, just tell them you are using 1/4" steel tubing. Yes, they were a direct replacement. I used them to connect to the existing lines.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Yes, I purchased them from Royal Brass & Hose when I had them make the flexible lines for the carrier. I made my own hard lines and used the nuts/ferrules I purchased from them.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    A few more things accomplished today, installed secondary fuel filter spin on adaptor, spin on oil filter adaptor and air cleaner gage. Also removed and cleaned the intake screen for the bilge pump. It was caked solid with grease a debris from the air box drain tube puking on it since 1970...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    New solenoid arrived today, installed and passed the spin test. Next wrestle that beast in it's tight little corner, not an easy task as it's a precision fit in the bell housing. The other challenge is reaching the third bolt between the block and starter. I can't imagine changing one out...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Thanks Mark, I'll be sure to inquire on my next failed part, it's bound to happen soon. Luckily a new one was only $30 shipped.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    No plans for a coolant filter and no heater as of yet. I plan on using a 24v electric heater.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Oil pan back on today with the high speed drain valve. Starter looked a little grungy so I figured while the engine was out I would pull it and paint/test it. Well I'm glad I did, all she would do is fire the bendix out but no spin. So I shorted the starter housing stud and solenoid stud with...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I am sorry you have to part with it, you put a lot of work into it and have met a lot of challenges along the way. I'm proud to have at least a couple of parts hanging on it. I wish you luck with your medical treatments and wish you the best. I hope you will stay tuned in for the build, your...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Got Mark's sleeves/pistons installed, the holes look much better filled. May regret not using new rings but they were low millage so I took a chance, did install new rod bearings and new cylinder o rings. Thought I would also post up a picture of the dual oil pick up, kind of unique. I have...

    I love my M1010 and drive it almost daily. Don't let the electrical put you off it's easily fixed.

    rear goat covers

    The cover is roughly 8x9, one end is marked "front", I can't really tell the difference between ends. The center section is square/rectangle but the ends have a unique shape with lots of turn fastener grommets for the end curtains. The end curtains are the same so I am not sure why the "front"...

    I have joined the Goat herd

    Mine has the two screws but the bumpers are missing, the parts manual shows it as Pad, cushioning Bumper, cover assembly, Engine 2EA 11656176. Looks like a rectangular rubber block.

    Gama gama hey!

    Another option is to send a call tag for them and have them picked up that way they won't be involved in the shipping. I had mine of recently and they are very light weight. I have obtained many mv parts with a call tag that otherwise the seller would have never sold as they were not...
