    Nylon 'Equalizing'? Line on Gas Tank?

    I guess, not sure why you would need to vent the front of the tank with the back of the tank but oh well. I bought some new tubing and "clasps" to reuse the compression fittings. All is good now.(y)

    Nylon 'Equalizing'? Line on Gas Tank?

    maybe mine was replaced and cut just barely long enough in stock form because there was no way it was reaching from front to back while still going through the frame, it was a solid inch short. Looks like Im buying a compression union, that should give me an inch or two and reconnect it all.

    Nylon 'Equalizing'? Line on Gas Tank?

    While installing my 2" body lift I could tell the nylon tube that connects the front to the back of the gas tank wasn't going to stretch and fit while still going the subframe. I cut the compression fitting off to pull through the subframe thinking that would give me enough slack to reconnect...

    Self Canceling Turn Signal Arm Dimensions

    I mocked one up and so far it works great! I'm using nearly solid ABS and the engagement pins are chamfered for strength. Couple of notes, Mine is a little too tall, it is backed all the way to the steering wheel spokes and sometimes doesn't want to clear the turn signal switch (an easy fix) it...

    3 Speed Transmission Temp Gauge

    I decided to go into the pan. I need to drop it anyway to replace the trans filter. I ordered a 1/4 x 1/8 NPT bushing to tap into the pan. I plan to use a nut to secure it on the other side with JB weld all over the place. Ill post a tutorial once I get it done!

    3 Speed Transmission Temp Gauge

    Hello all, I have a 2006 M1097R1 that is getting close to being done but I want to install a transmission temperature gauge. Has anyone done this before? I did a lot of research on the theory of where to put it on a 3L80 but no one specifically mentioned which port or connection to use. I'm...

    Light Indicator

    Hello all, I wanted to install an LED light next to my light switch to let me know if I left the lights on. My thought was to splice a hot wire once the top switch was moved to anythign other than "Off" using the picture below I thought wire "E" would be the one to use but it only illuminates in...
