The bushings he recommended required trimming to fit. But there are many sizes available.
I posted info for the bushings here:

The natural melting point of coconut oil is actually extremely variable from "nut" to "nut".
Here in Belize coconut oil is locally produced. A row of containers of coconut oil on a shelf at any local grocery store here will range in consistency from a liquid to a lard-like substance at room...
When crossing the border, US CBP doesn't always know how a specific ex-military vehicle ended up in private hands. It could have been sold under an EUC, sold as surplus to a foreign government in the past and then bought by a foreign individual, purchased in the US a long time ago, or some...
The issue with reentry depends on how you left the US.
If you just drove out of the US and then return, still with current US plates, registration, and insurance, there should be no problems. I know numerous truckers here in Belize who have semi-trucks registered in the US and they drive...
Driving a Deuce in Central America is great! With the low cost of initial purchase it is amazing more people don't own them down here. Sounds like you had a great trip.
What color did you end up painting your truck before your trip?
My truck has the fuel tank vent line running to the bottom fitting. My master cylinder vent has been separated from the fuel tank vent. The top fitting is empty on my truck.

Thanks for the updates and the PM. The video was helpful.
The United Technologies spec-sheet I attached on my first post list specs for the AKN-130SM-6844-A&B injectors and also the AKN-130SM-6844-B2 which was a different injector with different settings. I have all AKN-130SM-6844-B2...
The centrifuged oil from the power plant is cleaned and filtered for use in their Caterpillar engine generators. I still run it through a multi-stage filter setup that I use for filtering waste motor oil.
My injectors certainly took a beating from my choice of fuels. I have a couple sets of...
Light sweet crude oil is found locally and exported for refining. I have burned some crude oil purchased locally that simply had the water removed. The BTU/gal isn't as good as diesel due to the light grade of the oil and the tars tended to cause carbon build-up.
Recently a local town power...
I appreciate the replies, but the issue is that these are not the same injectors used on the LDS-465. I familiar with the operating characteristics of the multifuel engines. I have all of the manuals and have read and studied them. The issue is that servicing of the newer AMBAC 2-hole...
I have an LDT-465-1D that was rebuilt by the military in the early 90's. When rebuilt new injectors were installed. They are the newer 2-hole AMBAC AKN 130SM 6844B2 injectors. Military part #12354296. The injectors are stamped 11-90.
I am overhauling my truck and took the injectors to a...
I know this thread is a month old but at least the info will be in the same place and may be helpful. As Rick mentioned there is a SteelSoldiers member in Belize, and I am still around. I don't post much, but I am on SteelSoldiers fairly often.
Belize has quite a few (at least 2 dozen I know...
Neither the 1992 TM 9-2320-361-34 nor the 2006 TM 9-2320-361-24-1 list a torque spec in the adjustment instructions for the adjustment nut on the rocker arms. The rocker shaft pedestal bolts are listed as 28 ft. lbs. in the 1992 manual and 44 ft. lbs in the 2006 manual. I don't know why they...
