Actually, that's about the perfect amount of caster, but ok. Works out to about 5.5-degrees though.

Anybody know anything about these units? Looks like they use a HATZ 2G40 two-cylinder diesel engine, have a 300 Amp 28V alternator and a Bosch hydraulic pump of some sort. Would love to know more about these things, as I just struck a deal on one but haven't even seen it yet.

Just flip the stock spring perches around like this.

Sweet rig! Painting mine white right now too.

PM sent.

Whoa, that turned ugly.

Was talking about getting stuck and needing the additional traction to back up.

Think a selectable clutch would be much better than a one-way clutch in this application. Thinking about backing-up...

Just figured out that the [url=http://www.pscmotorsports.com/motorsport-specific-products/offroad/steering-wheels-quick-releases-columns/columns-mounts]XR steering columns[/url that PSC sells happen to have exactly the same diameter housing as the stock steering column (1.75"), so there's a...

Thanks. I the defroster duct was not punched-out, so I drilled it. Done. The passenger-side dash support went right in without any trouble, but the driver's-side is vexing me. There are two sets of holes in the firewall that have the proper spacing, but if I bolt to the lower set the bracket is...

Thanks. There wasn't any rubber on my front fenders at the front or rear mounts, so that's good to know. Best guess is that rubber is about an 1/8" thick at the front, and what about at the rear? The cab doesn't actually sit on any springs, it just has springs that allow it to pull away from...

Ah, so I need to drill a hole through the heater duct and then shim so I can bolt through the whole shebang. Great. Thanks. Orientation of the steering column supports has got me scratching my head. There's a reinforcing rib on the firewall that's preventing things from lining up properly. Oh...

Wondering about that top bolthole in the dash, and how close the heater duct is behind it. If I trim the bolt to the perfect length I might be able to get away with squeezing a thin jam-nut in there, but it doesn't seem right. Dash is straight. Maybe the heater duct got welded into the wrong...

Ready... set... Go!

Like I said, the A3 composite hood is pretty freaking strong.

Anybody? Please and thank you.

Yes please! I just need the inner half (cab-side, as shown) of two hinges like the two on the top in this picture. See how much sharper the bend in the hinges on the bottom is?

Wonder if the result would have been any different if I'd tried bending with heat.

That didn't work out too well. Adjusted the first hinge without any trouble, but the second one snapped as soon as I put the slightest little bit of pressure on it. On closer inspection, realized that it looks like there are two different types of hinges, and I have two of each. One style has a...

Went down to Agri-Trade in Salinas and picked up a bunch more misc. parts, and I don't remember where half of these parts go, so there'll be a lot of chances to help/enter/win.
