Thanks guys. The chemical in the extinguishers was Carbon Tetra Choride. Pretty nasty stuff. Mine is brass and I will leave it that way. [thumbzup]

What color were the CTG fire extinguishers (Pyrene, etc) in WWII vehicles. I know the brackets were OD but were the extinguishers left their natural brass or painted?

Like he said...:-D

Titles are important but I can visualize us bellying up to the bar for a shot of Crown, Budwiser, Nachos with cheese sauce and cream cheese and pepper jelly with crackers. :-P

Soldier B is out of town until tomorrow and today was one of those days where everything in sight decided to fall apart. Spent most of the day repairing and reprogramming the gate opener. Did some clean up on the windshield outer frame while waiting for the inner frame which is supposed to...

Me thinks Amanda will get her way without bringing out the tickle.

Good points. My plan it to use Packard or bullet connectors for the lights. As for the harness itself, my plan was to install and connect all wires with the heat shrink loosely in place and when everything is adjusted, shrink the sleeves. I do not believe it would be any more restricting...

You will not give up on the Zip Ties will you Commander? Anyway, I am using the Prestolite wire like the Deuce has but I have original pigtails on all the lights. I also have 4 ' sections of heat shrink tubing in sizes from 1' down to 1/4" so that will encase the wires when I assemble the...

Plus 1 on that!!!

Who pressed the Blah! Blah! button? :burn:

Unfortunately I can't do that, but I will send you directions. :-P

So what are you doing next week?

I would PB but at $1400 plus dollars it ain't happening. Besides, I can't afford to pay attention let alone pay for a harness. And there is the problem of school kids. We do not have enough to mug here since they are all on the free lunch program, not to mention breakfast and dinner if their...

Not too much progress today. Worked on the chassis wiring harness and got everything laid out except three trailer circuits and 2 control circuits. That was because I am tape measure challenged and did not order enough wire. Ordered more from Erik's Surplus so it will be here mid week...

Mike, those are not the old military powdered eggs I loved so much are they? :doh:

If you contract to move the vehicle McKinleyville, CA to LA, I can add on a military trailer to help share the load as far as Dallas or preferably San Antonio.

2020? I guess I better put the white heat on this project if I am to make that deadline !!!!! [thumbzup]

No problem with the Crown PB. But again, it will be encased in a plastic bubble to protect it. :cool:

That is correct. The long spring around the rod is a tensioner spring. Some people put them in the front and some halfway back on the other side of the long spring. According to John Bizal at Midwest Military, it should be in the front. I have tried it both ways. I will wait until I get the...

Concentrated on getting the engine compartment wiring and the cab issues completed. Fastened down the steering column to the cab and installed the RFI grounding strap. Then finished the wiring in the engine compartment and will start on the lighting portion wiring harness tomorrow. Did get...
