Luke:
Did a little repair work today :)
I found that the idiot light cluster was just about to fall to pieces at the mounting holes.
So I did a little plastic welding to fill in the gaps, with a heat gun, soldering iron and some plastic borrowed from my Jeep wheel well trimming ;).
Then made a little bracket that bolts to itself (underneath) to sandwich the area and get a solid mount. I will probably paint it even though it will never be seen ;)
thumperdh:
Very cool. I'm subscribed. Can't wait to see progress on this thing.
Luke:
^^^ Thanks for the encouragement. :)
Luke:
The journey of discovery continues ;)
I found the coil mount bracket held up with a zip tie ... I thought, Oh one more lost bolt to find...
Not so easy. The bolt is snapped off in the frame, just for a little added challenge it is almost a quarter inch below the surface. I will wait until I get the frame off and then see if I can drill and remove the bolt from a better angle.
Oh and the plastic coil cover bolt was stripped although that took 2 seconds with the Grabit.
Sorry for the bad pic ::) edit .. found a good one
Luke:
Yes .. even the peg mount bracket welds matter ;)
Almost done ...
