A question back to the weapon mount. Is the plate that is welded to the front tube 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch thick?

This is the 8 inch

This is the 10 inch wheel

This was my first FAV and it was pretty much the way it was built during the 85 rebuild. It looks like a 10 inch wheel on the back. What do you think?

Yes... When the manual was created it was 8 inch but the manual was for the pre-1985 rebuild where they added the side baskets, radio basket, fenders and other items. when I look at photos of the post 85 rebuild I think the rear wheels are 10 inch but dont know for sure. Just wondering what...

What width wheels are you using on the rear of your FAV? 8 inch or 10 inch?

Yep. The numbers I found on the rear shock is not even listed on the Bilstein website. Not even a close number.

Thanks Mogman. You saved me some extra work.

Has anyone repro'd the plate for the Engine protection system on the dash? Can anyone please post a photo of an original plate? I have a photo of my old FAV dashboard with the engine protection but the words on it have faded so bad I cant even make them out. Thanks.

I looked over the 2 front and rear shocks I have and could not find any stampings on them. The photos I see of new shocks have a part number printed on them but mine have been painted CAMO so no numbers.

Does anyone know the part number for front and rear Bilstein or other brand shocks?

Someone answered me. The fronts are 5 inch wide rims. Thanks

I didn't see that one either. So the VIC-1 box fit snug against a gusset on each side?

That's the best photo I've ever seen of the weapon mount. I never noticed the gussets before. I am going to attempt to build it. Your info is SUPER!!!!!! Thank You.

Thanks Mogman!

How wide are the factory front wheels?

Does anyone know the size of the square tube used to make the top weapon mount?

When installing the floor, do the side baskets go on first and the floor goes over the edge of the basket mount or does the floor go on first and the basket mounts go on over the floor?
