That's why I never switched back to 24V! Too pricey for me. I'm not a purist so it doesn't bother me to mismatch my ride.

Well, for the most part it does. It had been bondo filled too.

I got pretty lucky with the condition of my entire vehicle. There were only two spots that needed attention. A very small spot on the driver's side and a huge area on the passenger side floorboard/cowl brace. Frame is good, body is good, beat to snot but good nonetheless.

In good shape, even the floor is well. But darn near everyone puts them on :)

Right on the grille. Two bolts through the plate into the retainer which sandwiches it to the grille bars. First pic is a week-ish ago, pre-paint. Second pic is from tonight, freshly shot with Catepillar yellow. Tomorrow I want to be working on my rear light wiring, brake light switch and...

Cleaned off the Jerry can holder, painted up the bridge plate, attached a dozen loops and hung random stuff from them!

At least they're not difficult to figure out.

Now there's a stat I wasn't aware of. I have the dash provision, and a couple of extra holes as well! Made a plate to cover it all up for now. As for the wiring harness, I know the feeling of the mess that it can be. I've got quite the hybrid harness going, keeping as many of the original...

Good enough, two tubes is correct! When I got my A1, the hose from the dipstick tube to the crossover hose was just vented to the atmosphere. A homemade crossover had been made and no provision for recirculation was anywhere on it. I may as well just had one tube at that point! Pay no mind to...

Plenty to be found on Ebay!

Mine was a little difficult to read, NDT is correct, it should have the overbore stamped on it. As well as crank journal grind if at all.

So, went to an auction today...... Like a kid in a candy store....

It moved under it's own power for the first time in six years. Took a short jaunt to the local farm & home and forgot just how windy it gets with the glass down!

Exactly!

Well, it's back together and running again. Was drip free for about 15 minutes, then it decided to start. BUT, it's a very slight drip, at the present time it's liveable. I'm fine with this as long as it doesn't get any worse.

Start at the main switch, trace out to starter & solenoid. Does it still use the foot starter or is it keyed now?

Ok, here goes nothin'. Been working all week on this. I'm doing a bit of redneckery, decided to build up the busted out area with some JB weld. Took it slow, did layer upon layer until I was satisfied with the height. This is the end result. It appears that it engages the thrust lip on the...

Just another hurdle, it's just a time sucker more than anything. Good call, I'm sure I wouldn't get too scuffed up since it's not like these things are known for breaking land speed records! Oh, I might be able to be persuaded to let it go! :p I can't honestly let this thing beat me though.

Well, it's been an ongoing task, got the engine back on the stand. Tore the bottom end apart, check the new seal fitment and decide in whether or not to build up the area that's missing near the main journal housing. I was leery of just using the seal by itself, the missing chunk was pretty much...

Glad to hear you got it straightened out! As for the gauge issue, can always switch them over to mechanical gauges until you get the 24V dizzy and generator/regulator.
