I received my Yermo m1151a1 yeserday. It's a runner, so I had to start it immediately to drive it off the car hauler truck. I also had it running for maybe 10 minutes in my driveway just testing things out, checking the AC compressor, gauges, etc. The engine runs and sounds normal to my...

Speed, or temperature?

Retro encabulator.

So I bought some of the fiberglass doors that West Kentucky Surplus makes. I've been looking at these for awhile, because in my opinion they are the only reproduction X-doors worth buying. They appear to be an exact (or close to exact) reproduction of the original X-door, even having...

Gotcha, I was hoping for a solution like this but for people who don't have the locking door handles. Oddly I only want to be able to lock the door from the inside but not the outside. I'm sure there is a way.

Can you explain this better? Do you have a picture?

I have hard doors and a soft top. I do like the combination, it looks good and I have no functional issues. I've thought about doing a hard top but I don't think it will have much of a benefit unless I do the full conversion with a turret, which as MarkM mentioned will run 8-10K. That's way too...

Just an update: The first door I fixed with epoxy had some failures. Seems like the expansion/contraction rate of the expoxy is much different than the door. I was able to redo that door with the bondo and its all fixed now. The other door that I originally fixed with bondo is holding up great...

Is this true even if you dont have a dual voltage alternator? That sounds like something I don't have time for and will never do lol.

Thats not solid state, lol!

So I thought it might be that, but then I thought since it says "solid state" that it probably has an LED not a bulb.

I have a "C" one. Anyone know what the little half circle wire thing is for?

Well I'll certainly file this under "things I'm not going to lose sleep over."

Yeah, if I recall it was labeled as safe for all makes and models. According to Prestone's website there really aren't that many options.

I used prestone green when I replaced my water pump. In for answers. EDIT: According to the Prestone Safety Data Sheet, it's mostly Ethylene Glycol: https://prestone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SDS508-Universal-RTU.pdf

Yeah but the petty thief wont know that until after they cut your door open with a utility knife.

Perhaps on materials like wood or fiberglass where there is a grain. I'd be interested to see if there is a source proving that to be true for a homogenous material like aluminum. Edit: toughness sure, but that goes back to my point about flexibility.

I'm not an engineer, but I think that depends on the definition of "strength." I think a laminated material would have more flexibility and less prone to crack. But I don't think the tensile strength or compressive strength would be any higher. I think another variable is whether the two...

Thanks for the info, I think I'll go ahead and do the same thing.

Since I've gotten my M998 I've noticed the accelerator pedal is pretty stiff. It ends up making the engine feel underpowered because you really have to jam on the pedal to get decent acceleration. I've already checked and lubricated all the linkages at the top of the engine (sorry don't know...
