Got the terminals out of the connector and cut the ends off. I have Vintage connections pieces to put it back together

I found a whole box of LED's in the BrownZ when we pirated it. I bought them from SuperBrightLED's in 2012!! :blink:

So I tore into one of the rear calipers today. They don't look good and I don't know how to get them apart. I'm also concerned if I get them apart I won't be able to get them back together. I'm going to see if O'Reillys can get me a pair.

Here is a marker light after I used some silicone to reassemble them. I just left the squeeze out. It scrapes right off with a fingernail after it's dry.

Today we worked on putting the ugly engine into Lily

I separated the transmission yesterday and made sure the pressure plate wasn't rusted to the flywheel. It was a little crusty but I cleaned it up and Cody helped me get it back on the engine. It has a Centerforce clutch in it from the 90's probably!!

The next step is cleaning the Ztherapy SU's that have been sitting for a decade or so.''

@Patcon When I went LED bulbs for all my exterior bulbs I matched the bulb color to the lens covers. From what I've read the lens will filter all colors from the white LED's except for the color of the lens causing the light to be dimmer than it could be. Don't know if this is an old wives tale, but just sayin.

Thanks, the LEDs I have are Amber or Red to match the lens color at that location because I have been told the same thing

So I worked on a door lock a few days ago.

The covers are tough to get off. I have the proper pliers and that gets the lip started but getting it up the rest of the way is tough.

It appears the lock bodies were yellow zinc when new.

The lock codes on these bodies

20240709_200642_resized.jpg

20240709_200703_resized.jpg

I suspect the letter prefix determines whether it's a VOSS ket or an X6/X7 key

The clip is removed off the back of the body here

20240709_203106_resized.jpg

Cylinder just pushed out to the front

20240709_203115_resized.jpg

Face cap has the staked places on two sides. I drove a small flat head in there to open them up enough to get off

Key shutter and spring. This spring is tiny!!!

@Captain Obvious

Thoughts on using JB weld to fix the grooving in this lock body? I am assuming that none of those marks to either side of the main groove are supposed to be there?

So I worked on the wiper motor yesterday. Probably something else I should have been working on but I didn't feel like it.

I finally received this PVC tubing the other day. I bought it for the front markers lights but realized I needed a piece for the wiper motor too.

It has white script down the length of it. A quick wipe with lacquer thinner and it's all gone.

I can't upload the pictuer I want, but I the plug on the wiper was bad and instead of depinning it, I crushed it with a set of channel locks. Much faster!

I replaced the pins on the end of the wiring. Put a new jacket on the cable and reinstalled the wiper motor and bracket into the car using Steve Nixon's great little rubber pieces

20240710_183307_resized.jpg

I took a guess at which way to install the wiper arm. Which is tough to get on with everything in the way. Once it was in the car and bolted down, I added tape on the wiper pivots to simulate arms. I then used my DP switch test rig and added the jump box to verify the arm operation. They operate as they should up instead of down!!

One job off the list

20240710_183302_resized.jpg

Also which one of these six holes get a round head screw instead of a hex nut?

20240710_181929_resized.jpg

Is it the top one on the drivers side? It seems like it would the closest to interfering with the cowl

So I have been looking for the key hole shutter springs. They are the tiny springs

20240709_204220_resized.jpg

Here are the dimensions

20240711_211647_resized.jpg

I have found something close but they are almost $9 apiece!!

Anyone have any ideas on where to find these?
