  1. If you move to disc brakes you will also need to change the master cylinder
  2. I'm surprised no one mentioned that you should make sure your fire extinguishers are still charged.
  3. One more addition would be to run ethernet cable to it, especially if you have a metal building. They block wifi signals.
  4. Robert, I see what you mean. I think I would have made a plate with a hole a little larger than the shaft that could slide under the stop on 3 sides. ---------u------------ Make it long enough to clear the armature in a vice so the armature can be held by this device holding the shaft. Use a brass drift or lead hammer to tap the shaft down without damaging it. Without a vice you could use the same piece with a second without a center hole and a couple of bolts to make a puller. Tom
  5. See page 12 of the manual: http://jatonkam35s.com/CUCVTechnicalmanuals/1M-128.pdf, just a tube and hammer. Hopefully you had the armature tested, replaced the bearings etc to have a reliable unit if needed.

    Fresh paint

    Looks like it should go to salvage
  7. After looking at the corrosion article I wonder if the replacement roof was properly installed. Dielectric materials need to be used between dissimilar metals, like aluminum and steel, everywhere, to prevent galvanic corrosion. You might want to use an Non Contact Voltage Tester Pen to make sure there isn't live current there which would speed the action.
  8. Sounds like the wrong alloy of aluminum was used for the current roof. 5052 is what used to be used in marine applications for its corrosion resistance.
  9. That's the way to do it. Weld the washer on then weld the nut thru the hole. The heat expansion will help break the bond. After the bolt is out I'd carefully run a tap to clean out the threads, blow the holes out with air, and use antiseize on the threads when you do the install. Reduce the torque values by 25% for lubricated fasteners. torque_specifications.pdf
  10. Welding works but be sure to protect your computer, alternator, etc.
  11. Watched a YouTube video /m.youtube.com/watch?v=AExrJ_Y4t64 last night on making 3D printed parts stronger/more durable. Worth a try. Hope this helps someone.
  12. Must be why the price of diesel is $1.50 a gallon more than gasoline here. Ouch
  13. This looks like yours, not mine, but dimensions? https://www.reflectwindow.com/products/weep-hole-cover-w-flap?variant=29518507606134&currency=USD&msclkid=61c959a718e31cc9ce9d3af405b78900&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=AI - Shopping - USA&utm_term=4585169653039179&utm_content=Ad group %231
