    Couple of questions

    I suspect you may have a fraying throttle cable????? and check he linkage if it is binding at the throttle pedal on the floor. I have removed and cleaned a few throttle pedals. They are dusty bone dry at this point. Good Grease in the groove and you should be good. The throttle cable different...

    Couple of questions

    Good Job. I knew you could do it. If it were my project. I would go get 4 nice sharp 1/16" drill bits and drill the center out of that bolt. that will weaken it and you could possibly salvage that M8 1.25 threaded hole in the block. It is going to be a tough job. But with patience and letting...

    Couple of questions

    Good to hear. And if you mess up the treads a little you can tap them out and you will be fine. As long as the bolt gets tight and it will you are good. I have drilled into treads a bit and tapped them and never had any side effects. in the real world it happens all the time. What ever it takes...

    Couple of questions

    I have used an M10 bolt and cut it off with as much of the shoulder as required and used that with the hex head if you like in the hole as a guide. Sink the bit into the chuck that the drill has no choice but to stay centered. And let the SHARP drill bit do the drilling. Pushing the drill like a...

    Couple of questions

    I think the bolt he is referring to it the one broken off in the block. I never seen a stud in any of these motors at that location. Also Rutjes if it were mine I would remove the motor mounts and replace them while you are in there. But I would probably end up pulling that engine and change all...

    Couple of questions

    Your driving world will end quickly if you catch the hoses on something and don't know it. I think he already realized that. Get the steel tubing out and do the job right. Or think about it every time you go in the brush or mud. Anywhere you route them they are in harms way.

    Couple of questions

    Big problem if you get caught using it on the road. I had a farmer friend get a $10K fine with a truck he was using to haul produce. The tax man caught him and 3 others at the produce auction. Rutjes what I think you have in the support bolt is the bolt was to long or a standard thread bolt in...

    Couple of questions

    It also appears that you are missing all 6 of the M10 X 1.5 bolts that hold the cover in place. But you do have 1/4 x 20 bolts holding the cover in place. I do NOT see them on a CUCV at all. Interesting. I do see the starter is removed and the bolt hole in the block that holds the starter...

    Couple of questions

    The lines you have showing are not supposed to be rubber hose. they are supposed to be 3/8" steel lines for the transmission cooler lines. The holes are 7/16 X 14 TPI holes that are used for transmission braces which are NOT used on the CUCV. From new they used a steel clamp to hold the...
