Fred, My DAR, Dennis Carley was fine with the penetrations I had on a Zenith which were similar to yours but metal of course. The Subaru was so dependent on the electrical, he asked that I consider u
Fred, You're making great progress. It is interesting how the wires multiply. I try to make things simple, but just add one thing and it seems like it's another 100 feet of wire. For the fire sleeve
Fred, Been there, done that, got the T shirt. Pontificating now: I hate learning the hard way, and it takes so long to research everything, what can we do? I have always believed it is good to trust

Steve, Love to forward to the company and get some action. I'm sure the UK folks will come to the rescue. How's your project going? By the way, I teach my new guys your torque techniques. (Tight, Tig
If you didn't need washers, you installed the mount perfectly. As for the cut of the rear, you bet it is not uncommon to cut the right side more than the other. For offset, I just do the angle of 1 1

Jim, Everyone is happy with just whacking it in. Yes, chamfer the edge of the frame so the bead goes on easier, but don't flox it in or glue it. If the bead is really hard to get started over the fla
