as stated long back, swan neck mirrors are an added touch but then you got to be willing to modify your car a bit and many cringe at that...thus the reason so many just resort to hanging the peep mirrors on and be done with it....

When in the army we were the relieving trick and would take the turnover.....often it would include a comment like pos 31 in area XX has been Fritzed....Fritz was not the most successful maintenance man.... usually the item he worked now required a complete alignment.
-
if you plan to seal it....seam sealer and RTV are not your friends here IF for some reason you should have need to remove the strip down the road. A good dum-dum putty found at the local paint and body is a very good product that is easy to apply, remove, work with as needed.

Looking for some insight on my old Plymouth
Plymouthy Adams replied to Mikec4193's topic in P15-D24 Forum
if you not planning on opening and closing the vent then why bother with the cost of a gasket as it so far from being rebuilt and functional that fixing in place with sealer would be in line with your build style. If are not planning functional side glass or as you put it no glass at all.....I wondered the very drain function here. -
in most all procedures you will read, tapping the frame off carefully with a hardwood block is the usual process.....this is what I use and have never distorted a frame or broke a glass panel yet.....careful heating glass...if you really nervous and want to void the seal prior to any method you use for pulling the frame, an exacto knife will help or other razor blade you comfortable using....careful, while blood is a fair lubricant.....the shedding of it is not in your best interest.

there was a spring special in need of adoption that I saw about 15 miles from me sitting outside along side of a shed.....if nothing else, great yard art.
-
you could have had a good chunk of venison to go with all that....keep the raccoon....they useless...! I am not sure of the results but have replanted a few of my garden containers for what I hope may be a second harvest. First I tried this....will see how that goes.

I can see the similarity of the cow's face and the nose of the truck....😁.....good post...

High Quality H4 Headlights for 12v Cars (Cheap!!)
Plymouthy Adams replied to Sam Buchanan's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Won't work as pictured Sam.....your battery is disconnected.......😄 -
you are correct some do but the Bosch square box automotive does not as they are not shown on the relay drawing.....so my reply was tailored around his stated choice of components.....funny you show this 200 amp relay, I utilized one of them in my recent Brit car build that only had two fuses total when I added an additional 8 fuses and powered the fuse panel from the ignition switch through this heavy relay. 200 was overkill but I liked the lugged terminals. I added lots of modern electrical features and brought the car into the correct century.

Napa is not at all competitive in my area.....and likely as you said they can get you what you want your time your money and both would be wasted here as higher and would have to wait for it to be delivered to the store. Now I know it is not this way at every location...but to assume every location is as what you are used to is also an assumption.
-
not saying that.....if supplied with two use both (strap and spring)....if supplied with one the contact strap is likely already bonded in place. Some units have the contact strap floating thus the second spring which is not a true spring but just a strap.
-
if you do not use both look for points bounce to be a major player in limited rpms and inability to achieve speed....
-
you confusing the thread, first you ask for a positive ground diagram as you could not find one, tell you how to do thjs by using the negative diagram and then just reverse the polarity marks on the battery....and now you compare that to the diagram for a positive ground which if you already had this diagram, what is the question.
-
again, polarity is not a factor, you state 6 volt version of the bosch 5 pin relay. notice energizing coil pins 86 and 85 are NOT marked for polarity also notice the pin 30 and 87 (NO normally open) switched contacts are not marked IN or OUT....you will not use pin 87a (NC normally closed) in the center and can break it off if you want. Further you can copy a drawing from the internet, take a pencil and erase the plus and minus on the battery and reverse these marking....Bob's your uncle.

I had a learning experience back in the late 80's after buying a battery from a well known seller in my area. TDY trip out of state, battery failed there, regardless of warranty there was no place near to make good on the warranty. Solution, Walmart and buy a battery and pay the core fee so to be able to get the battery replaced when I got home. They did hem and haw a bit but made good on the battery and core fee in the form of a full refund. Since then I buy from Walmart simply for the fact that their batteries are top notch and if needed you are not far from a Walmart for service. Many other retail sellers of batteries will hold your battery for 24 hour testing period and are you prepared to pay for a hotel should you be out of town....? More than just initial costs involved.

personal choice, oil bath the better system overall and still used in production of equipment that see such environments where dust and dirt the greater issue. Paved road and such have gone the way of the Dodo for daily commute. I swapped mine to dry paper cartridge just for the fact I likely would tip if over and make a mess when servicing the car with it off.....the conversion is easy and when done right not one you will readily notice.

High Quality H4 Headlights for 12v Cars (Cheap!!)
Plymouthy Adams replied to Sam Buchanan's topic in P15-D24 Forum
those lights do sound like a good deal for certain. I have a set of the ones shown here and as compared to the Kioto ones at the dealership....that for no other way than to say totally lucked upon finding a set NIB to begin with but, 10.00 was the ultimate BUY OF THE DAY......This likely will be used in one of the sports cars on hand and not in my mopars. -
The actual capacity is stated in the repair manual on the lubrication chart. It is not specified in the box with the picture of the differential and interval for checking/changing but rater in the legends at bottom right corner under capacities...the amount is 3 1/2 pints.
-
these are feral, domestic mixed with Russian I believe.....they are not what you really call aggressive but then I have never tried to corner one either.....perhaps some here have seen the Nat'l Geo documentary on the PIG BOMB in the Abbeville GA not that far from here. These you can shoot night or day 24/7. They can devastate a farm field in one night...lol Some times when sitting out by the fire pit on the patio I can hear the hogs in the woods off from my west orchard and the coyotes to the east just across the rail road track.

If the animal is not destroying anything he is usually not disturbed. I seem to have at least one family of bunnies on the place annually and they do no harm to plants and flowers. I protect all my lizards and frogs from predators shooing away feral and wandering cats. If the snakes are not rattlers or copperheads they get free reign also. Possums come and go, get an occasional owl hunting mice/moles near the security lights. My only real issues are the squirrels who by the way carted off tons of pears, peaches, apples and such. I will not get the first pear this year and it was loaded with fruit. Second the stray armadillo, filled a burrow just last week in the east orchard if they did not dig deep holes would give them free passage but they like homesteading. Third problem is the stray cats who like to stalk the birds at the fountain. Had a young bald eagle while back swoop a squirrel out of the west orchard, amazed at seeing this majestic bird in my yard......I would build him a tree condo if he would stick around and continue the round up. I hate deer with a passion, but I also will not shoot them though it would benefit society at large, they are usually way from the house in the east or west orchards....the deer are/can be a destructive beast which I have no real problem on the property, but secondly, they are an accident waiting to happen on the highways and a risk to all. The farms and fields of the smaller farmer now gone to seed and overgrown afford them coverage and they have exploded in population. Wild pigs are everywhere but they seem to like following the streams.

am sure it has many "END" uses.....

the TRW rack in smaller GM cars with center links connecting rod...been years since this was really gone over in depth. I searched my local files and found some of the install data but did not see the file where I had the bracket templates. These could well be found, complete with the manner to located the brackets to prevent bump steer via searching this forum. type in +cavalier +rack and you will get some 9 pages related to the subject. Hope this will help you.
