Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Because if the size of the new alternator I had to modified the mounting bracket and tweak with it he wiring harness a bit. But she’s alive the difference in size is obvious small cut to increase clearance was necessary. naturally, I had to dress it up a little old hardware was cleaned and blued the New unit in its natural habitat wired in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 There's a company making a electric "crate motor" that will basically fit wherever an LS small block does. It even has the same mounting points. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Last night I spent by ripping the rubber sound deadening sticker out of the back. The glue residue is everywhere. Also I was able “finally “ to figure out the seat belt layout. Realizing that I’m missing a bunch of hardware I took off shopping this morning. here’s the trunk area before clean up and here is the same space with the rubber padding out and somewhat clean if the glue residue Now Time to secure the side panels , top headliner and I should bring off whatever if left of the roll cage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies Martin, we are told that more is more when it comes to applying the Sika Mastic. Rather too much than an inadequate coverage, especially when it's used in areas of water leakage. This factor also makes it especially difficult for assemblers when doing interiors, as it's really hard to get out of felts and carpets. We're not meant to think about the consequences of taking it out. S 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 I have to admit, you’re absolutely right. I put it there some eight years ago and now I’m paying the price. after few hours of grinding the rollcage leftovers I was able to wash it all off and install the rear bench that I got from a wrecker years back and put a new Corbeau upholstery on it. Looks ok. Spare wheel well was painted...... just because. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bench, in fact the whole basement is in shambles at the moment. Partway through the reorganization. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
