look who is out took it for a legal spin today all tag'ed and insured a little nervous i revisted the hill where my brakes failed 7 years ago - fluid leak had me cruise thru a 4way stop tooting horn as ebrake wouldnt lockup either; today its a light , came to a nice controlled stop with good working ebrake as backup tested a few other fixes : when i had engine out i found the bellcrank bolt loose and could see the pitman arm go up/down when wheel cranked, torqued it down - today no wobble or steering issues. so now i get to cruise around a bit and make some notes on running gear while i collect last batch of parts before tub comes off

Love the tarp under the unit. Looks just like my garage floor :-) I gave up fixing the leaks... I also have the same strap but mine came from Willys Acres and is dark khaki. Not NOS but is pretty good quality. I usually keep mine flipped inside the grill. Keeps it from banging and wearing a swing mark into the paint. I always thought that was the reason for dip in the center of the grill??? Warren |
