This ‘n’ that

L-R transducer mount, throttle link and servo mounting bracket all cleaned up, painted and ready to be installed. Still need my transducer. Seems there is a mix up with the seller and I didn’t get the money to him.

Spent a couple of days on the doors getting the new rollers and anti-rattle bumpers in place. Then I’ve being adjusting everything trying to get the windows to fit properly in the door frame.

My biggest problem with the window was to get it back enough to fit in the frame opening. The front/rear movement of the window is controlled by the front vertical track I moved the top as far back as I could even to using a dremel grinder to oval the bolt openings and the frame itself.

I also ovaled out the lower track mounting bolt. In the end I got just enough rear movement to allow the window to just fit. Even so the window front edge doesn’t fit the frame rubber properly. I’ll put that down to the difference between the original frame rubber and the aftermarket ones I used.

I picked up these hole plugs for the doors thinking it was a good idea, but they really didn’t want to go in and I didn’t try to force them.

In the end the plugs really weren’t needed as I decided to cover the door in sound proofing Kilmat. Hopefully this will improve the sound of the door closing and also cut back on the road noise getting into the cabin.
