Well, I'm going for looks in part. I sorta like the humongous whip antenna thing. :-D Besides, a 1/4 wavelength unloaded whip is better than a loaded whip of 1/8" wave length. I'll probably also add in a kit to make a full wave antenna using ~35' of insulated wire I can string from a line...

Hmm, what about arranging the radiator for the intercooler parallel to the right side vented fender area? Add an electric blower there for the airflow?

When the copper gasket is tightened down, it gets squished inwards AND outwards. The new gasket should carefully thread onto the plug. IF not, check at NAPA.

It is a good idea in some respects but it'll foul on things as it dramatically reduces the departure angle.

I'm thinking a long whip antenna thwapping back and forth against the cab might not be the best thing though. Hence the ability to pull it back from the bumper position and it would be lower. Also, as a long 110" whip I'm going to have good signal. Obviously if it's off the front bumper the...

So, I'm trying to get some forwards progress on my Deuce Radio kit. where to mount the Antenna. I'm thinking I'd like to do a mod of a MX-6707/VRC antenna base as the foundation. Where to mount the antenna though? Front Bumper? Fender? Back of the Cab or Front of the bed? thoughts? I'm...

I've tried in my last axle service a hand cut piece of medium soft rubber shoved up in the slot. We'll see how that works. So far so good with a bit of driving....50 miles or so.

Turn it into an 8x8.

One trick is to squish them down with a ratchet strap.

Bjorn, I think I know why you like the M757. It came with more controls and dials than a Cessna.

Hey Bjorn, lets see that entire dash please.

This latest set were ON there. I tried removing one to check and they were painted in. Clearly the vibration fixed things so it could unscrew. I swear, next part I have that needs to be loosened after years of being stuck, I'll just clamp it to the fender of my truck and drive around. Course...

Try lapping the plug with a bit of tooth paste or fine polishing compound...

I have now managed to loose a third air horn tumpet. I lost both off my old airhorn. Bought a new one and now, after last weekend just running around on some errands I have lost another trumpet. WTH? aua Anyone else have this issue? Next set I get I'm safetywiring those bloody things on there.

Sounds like they're trying to make it right. I'd be right pissed if they did the 6 brake cylinders for that price and over tightened bearings and brake shoe adjustment. It's not hard to get the brake shoe adjustment right. Easy to check too.

Hmm. I have jack stands for this weight. The trick is finding enough cribbing. We have a mess of good cribbing in PA with the Humber at Jim's shop but not down at my place in Georgia. Hmm.

$150 is a great price and what I paid now that I do the math. ;-)
