One of the many reasons I hated living in MD..
Now, inspection? What inspection?! hahah
and really, they dinged you for a worn seat? Reminds me of the time they dinged me for having a dash light on.... the idiot had hit the O/D button and the nice 'O/D OFF' light was illuminated in the dash...
I spent some time with him a couple weeks ago. Despite the situation, and the obvious pain, he was still making jokes...still thinking of others before himself.
Godspeed.
I asked about that when I first joined... Was still told no..
I believe it's a contractual issue for revenue generation on the site...
Just like they have govliquidation.com ads but don't allow us to post links to GL.
My M1010 alternator looks like it'll work....
Need a bushing to take up the slack (~3 inches too short), and a pulley...
I'm not finding jack %&% on the swap, only people saying 'do it'..

Keyway on the pulley and shaft were toast.. used a bigger key and wedged it in there for short term fix..
Got the alternator back in...and promptly sheared a bolt on the regulator housing...tried soldering...no joy... tried drilling it out....no joy...
Started up the M934.. Been noticing that the last couple of times, it's been starting slower and slower.... then noticed that the battery meter was in the red.. Whoops!
Checked the batteries, seemed fine albeit low on juice.. tapped gauge.. no change... Pulled out my multimeter, about to check...
Factory setup has a fuel heater, and water in fuel sensor. That spin on has neither. You should see 2 plugs on the firewall hanging near the rear of the intake...
Used 1/4-20 screws through the rear..with a threaded coupler on the outside... and the sign screws in with 1/2 in. 1/4-20. So the signs can be added/removed in 10 seconds. Used the existing nuts on the bottom to secure the convoy sign...
