Charlie Smith 192 #36 Posted November 29, 2014 Looking good JP, maybe wheel it outside and get some more pics for me (us) seems to be a little dark in your garage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jparkes43 27 #37 Posted November 29, 2014 Looking good JP, maybe wheel it outside and get some more pics for me (us) seems to be a little dark in your garage might be a good idea, its only because the times i get to work on it, it is dark out side and there are no outside lights at the moment, but tomorrow i have a full day of working on it so then i take some. james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-101plowerpower 548 #41 Posted November 30, 2014 why didn't you use a pair of wire cutters to cut of the split pin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jparkes43 27 #42 Posted November 30, 2014 why didn't you use a pair of wire cutters to cut of the split pin? it was really hard access it was deep inside the dash and i could barely get to it, so i gave up and cut the whole thing, i soppose i could have tried but i didn't ;-) james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
