    2023 TX MV Rally Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

    I knew I was forgetting something in my OP. I also have a NOS 250’ reel of 4conductor #8 AWG SOOW cable. Left over from my generator project. Perfect for generator wiring. 100% copper, no copper clad junk. Happy to bring if there is interest. $1400 for the whole 250’ reel.

    m725mike?

    It was a good day. We have all set out to accomplish something with our MV’s in one day. More often than not you only get maybe half of that actually accomplished due to set backs. Today not only did we meet our goal, but we exceeded that goal. B would be proud to see it moving under its own...

    M35 Cargo bed cover mods

    It’s not very often I feel like I can contribute something of substance to this site. But I’m glade you were able to take away something handy from my design. Kinda makes the time and money spent worth it when it benefits others also.

    MEP-003 Glow Plug Question

    You know that’s not the first time I’ve heard that. If you think Teflon tape is sufficient enough for a leak down test I’m certainly willing to give it a try. I do try to open all the cylinders except the one I am testing if I can. How long do you hold a leak down test? If it’s not the IP...

    M35 Cargo bed cover mods

    Thanks! It’s actually filthy right now, looked a lot better during the KILO 19. I get lots of compliments on that. Those are some steel plates I made. They are supposed to be eyebrows. You’ve seen jeeps with that “Mean” look. That’s how they achieve that look. By giving the head lights that...

    MEP-003 Glow Plug Question

    I have no doubt you are spot on. 10 degree variation. Which seem like a lot to me for a manufacturer’s tolerance. I may have figured out a work around, testing it will prove/disprove my theory. After the fact perhaps I’ll have some info I can contribute. I appreciate the input gents.

    M35 Cargo bed cover mods

    It was dark when I got home. Sorry for the crappy phone pics. If these suck too bad I can take some good ones this weekend. I hate to even post these pics. But I am a man of my word. So here they are.

    M35 Cargo bed cover mods

    I didn’t really think it was a big deal at all. I had a problem and I solved it. But lots of people have asked me about it or wanted me to make them one. It’s finding time to type it all up is the biggest problem for me. Just make sure I get the royalties rofl

    M35 Cargo bed cover mods

    I don’t want to highjack the OP thread here. But since my bed cover design was mentioned here I’ll post it here on how I made it, design and testing. The Design: I wanted a shade cover that was durable yet light weight and easily stored on the truck. Something that could de used as a bed cover...

    MEP-003 Glow Plug Question

    I actually spent a couple of hours looking for a dimensional drawing both here and on the net. Best I could come up with were Champion glow plug specs from their site. Like you I want to say I’ve seen a dimensional drawing. But I don’t recall where and if the sealing angle degrees were listed as...

    MEP-003 Glow Plug Question

    Has anyone ever accurately measured the angle (+/- 1 degree). Of the sealing surface on glow plugs? The angled part of the glow plug body that seals on the copper washer. Or does anyone have the ability to accurately measure it in degrees? My attempt to measure 4 different glow plugs returned 4...

    Gentlemen, I want to thank each you (and your families) tor making the trip to the beach to attend the 2022 KILO 19. With fuel prices the way they are your presence speaks volumes about the commitment each of you have. Not only to the MV hobby but to the veterans, their families and most...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2020 - July VOTE HERE

    2m715Mike’s truck. I have seen this truck in person. It is absolutely complete, down to the extra tank/hose fittings still in the tool boxes! It’s rare to find a MV that hasn’t been molested in some way by previous owners, as you all know. Likewise, any type of tank truck that has gone this...
