red13 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Nice job on adapting it to orig mount? What did the new mirror come out of? Going yard picking soon i browsedthe junkyard and found late 90s lexus ls400. The ball mount was basically the same, it was a smidge loose when,i swapped it in. So i wrapped the 620 ball,mount with a little bit of electrical tape to snug it. Plan is wire it in to the dome light power. 1 Quote Link to comment

HOGIE Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I swapped my bed with the good one from my parts truck. I learned it's heavier than I thought. Looks good, same color.What type of hardware did you use to reinstall your bed? I made these a while back when I swapped my bed. Haven't had to take it back off but I know it's going to be easier than with the stock bolts Finished my new bed bolts and mounted bed[url="http:// 4 Quote Link to comment

Rick-rat Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 L 20 motor. Got the intake, exhaust manifolds back on with all the bolts and all tight. 1 of the bolts with the thick washers was gone and 2 were loose and the hardest one to get to was just snug. got rid of all the EGR crap, was plugged and not working anyway. just waiting for my new carb to show up now 1 Quote Link to comment

Rick-rat Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Did some half assed stuff today, piece of flex pipe to put the exhaust back together where I had to cut it to get the manifold off. Used some plumbers tape to secure the tailpipe, until I can get it welded up. Should be fine until after Lefty's meet, maybe even longer 2 Quote Link to comment
