Washing the trailer today, almost half way. Getting ready to change the logo.
I can't believe how grungy this trailer is.

Ravi, it's probably local to that jack point area, only. Open it up some more and give the long "the screwdriver test". If the long material feels firm then order one from RD. We can weld a new one in place on a Saturday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Had a completely stuck driver seat which refused to slide. Had to use a scissor jack to get the seat to budge and get it off the rails. Have a GTS Classics seat whose bolt holes were slightly off. Had to elongate the holes on the mating piece and reversed the direction of the seat slider with the safety catch. It would still get stuck but not as badly until I loosened the mounting bolts just a bit. Then the seat would slide effortlessly until I pulled the seat out to tighten the seat bottom bolts. Putting the seat back in, it bound again. Removed the seat and loosened the bolts just a bit and again it slid effortlessly. So screw it, and I left it that way. In an accident I doubt a tight bolt versus an almost tight bolt will make much difference.

Big day today. Getting the last things done before installing rebuilt 2.7. Still waiting on machine shop on that project Figured I’d quickly install new clutch cable. Wrong. Clevis pin at pedal assembly end was frozen. Finally some PB Blaster and a punch got out the pin I destroyed with pliers and cuss words. Waiting for new one from Pelican.

Then my wife and I ran Chris Foley’s steel gas lines from rear to front. Very nice product with good instructions. Can’t believe those plastic lines were still in there.

Thermostat at rear fire wall for front oil cooler is in the way a little. May have to make hose connections up front inside the tunnel and instead of grommets at the wall use larger fuel hose for hose protection.

Ran out of time so neither project got done.

I refurbished and installed a set of black bumpers. I shaved tit and tow hook holes. My bumper caps are from 914Rubber.

Getting it ready for Route 66
