    Central FL M1031 project

    Today I was finally able to get back in the shop. I had a rotator cuff repair on 22 April. Still technically in a sling. I had my grandson and one of his mechanically inclined friends come over today to help reassemble the engine. Good progress was made and they did a really good job of...

    M1009 brake proportional valve wire

    It is just a connection. You can splice with no issue.

    M1009 brake proportional valve wire

    Electrically it does not matter if the bracket is not there. Just secure the wire in several locations as it is a long run and may move with airflow into places it does not belong.

    Central FL M1031 project

    Custom turn signals on M1008

    I like the look and operation that I can see. Are they also marker lights. On my M1031 the front markers are also turn signals, so I a little confused about the first post. But if they can do both I am very interested. And I just got the smoked lenses…
