My first carrier: some assembly required

[super dave]

Jordan I purchased the rubber (2 and 3 ply) in sheets from Granger in the US, They have a great selection as well as all of the felt I needed to do the carrier as well.

Also I cleaned up my steering wheel and gave it a fresh coat of paint for the NEW look

Well I finished off the week with the installation of the dash and the wiring to it, All done now except for hooking up the lights. I made the rubber spacer that goes between the dash and the front armor using the dash and pieces from an original one. Also I made a sort of hangman's tree to hang the dash from to hold it while I was wiring it up and it was a big help.

Sorry forgot the pictures Also what a pain to do working with all of those wires in a small confined area

Looking Good, Dave!

Thanks, It feels really good getting up to this point as I can see the light now Hoping to get in a full year of driving it, Been a long haul since purchasing it.

Now that I have a good idea on how the fire extinguisher bracket needs to be made does anyone have some close up pictures of the spare valves and parts case box and dimensions of it as seen in the picture as I need to make that box up unless some one has a spare they want to sell


It will be a little slow going on the assembly now but I have to start to do some more fabrication as I need to make up some engine covers as well as the front sand shields and a few other items.



On another point as I get ready to get the seats cushions made up I have seen carrier illustrations with the front lower cushion D section pointed to the front and also with it pointed to the rear, Which is the proper way or is there one ?? Also the lift the dot fasteners on the front of the seat frame is there suppose to be straps on the seat cushion that would hook to them like the CMP ??
