    Local PnP got an 82 1 ton square listed in inventory, so I did a quick recon to see if anything worth saving was left. Found this.

    Fuse blows when fan speed on high

    Think I'd look into wiring up a relay.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    These are old - when I was sizing the side plates to see if anything would interfere with the bumper brackets.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just about got this Benz van spare tire cage wrapped up. Got the u-bolts on the back of the hitch welded (with gussets) and the whole thing powder coated. (14) 5/8 GR8 bolts hold it on. The side plates tie the hitch into the frame. I put a bead of black seam sealer around the back of it and...

    Painting the gas tanks

    Yep - dual 20s. I was going FI so bought brand new ones with the internal baffles for the electric fuel pumps. Pretty sure it comes in gray as well. Nice thing is, you can top coat it with any color you want.

    Painting the gas tanks

    I epoxy primered the whole thing then used Rhinoliner on the bottom halves because I got rid of those plastic liners that hold junk. POR-15 + topcoated the top halves. I like it.

    Loud squeal over 2k rpm need advice

    Can you get it to run high enough it squeals with the hood up? I would use a stethescope or just a long screwdriver to your ear to find the source. My guess is an accessory bearing.

    Cowl Screen

    I think you could. I know of cars with an actual screen that has a bead of mastic to hold it in.

    Flash rust after ospho rinse question.

    I talked with SPI, as well as a couple other different makers of epoxy primers and it always comes back to "it SHOULD be ok...." if I wet it and power wash it off. Eastwood was pretty adament to blast or use a sander (which is a PITA to get into the nooks and crannies). The only 100% guaranteed...

    Flash rust after ospho rinse question.

    Ohio isn't a climate....its another planet with a totally different atmosphere. At times, I think it may be a whole 'nother dimension altogether. Why anyone lives here voluntarily is beyond me. :confused:

    Hey everybody I'm Anthony an auto tech from Tucson Arizona. I look forward to getting involved with this discussion forum.

    Biggest vac-runability issues I always had was the carb base gasket. PO had the same issues....replaced every o-ring and gasket except that one which he obviously left just for me. What a guy.

    Flash rust after ospho rinse question.

    I had to use zinc-phosphate (metal ready) on my cab because the loony weather here - got cold/damp/winter overnite so couldn't get it into primer. Worked great over the last winter but have been told by a number of suppliers (even Eastwood) that I will have to have it blasted again to get the...

    Center Dash Head Unit

    Hands down the most natural place for one - far easier access too. Not my pics but I'm doing something very similar....but more OE looking.

    wires ?

    I had a car similar to this....blasted thing would lock the doors with the key on. Hated it. Are these wires for power TO the relay or power coming FROM the relay? I would use a DVOM for continuity to find both ends. I'm sure whoever installed it just interrupted a circuit, so would be a matter...

    wires ?

    Sounds like an opportunity to make a hidden kill switch.

    USA1 Industries

    3 yrs ago, I ordered and received a dash in about 6 months. I ordered and received paint (to match my dash) in 3 weeks. Otherwise, I waited 6-9 months - with $1500-2000 in limbo more than once - before I cancelled orders on items that to this day (almost 3 yrs later) are still back ordered, yet...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Getting there with this Benz van tire carrier setup. Have the U-bolts in place to be welded. Spare tire carrier will hang from these. I have small gussets to go under them as they will be under a constant pressure holding a 100 lb wheel and tire up. Overkill is the target. My plan B was to make...

    Precision windshield gasket too big

    Not to change the subject, but has anyone used any other seals - like what does LMC sell? Local glass place I have used for decades cannot get a windshield for my SB from their supplier but said they will install it if I locate one. They have gotten a 'universal' seal on older cars before that I...
