    how to set up a deuce with brake controller and lights for civy trailer?

    Well the Redarc controller is pricey but my first attempt involved installing a voltage converter and relay to only turn on when trailer was connected.

    how to set up a deuce with brake controller and lights for civy trailer?

    Hey Mike Harry here. I used a redarc 24-12v brake controller and Multi voltage LEDs in trailer so I could tow my econoline 6 ton trailer with my 1028,1008, or 1971 M35a2. works pretty good with no big modification hassle. I put the nato trailer plug on the trailer.

    help sourcing rivets

    I agree. Cherry rivets are a superior structural rivet if selected properly and installed correctly. Removing isn't terrible if you use a pin punch and a small ball peen and unseat the anvil pin first.On cherry locks you have to pop out the very hard lock ring with a very small screwdriver or...

    I own Both .A 1966 Unimog 404 TLF converted into road service vehicle and a M35a2 dump conversion that is used commercially.

    Harmonic Balancer

    I still don't know why my key sheeted and allowed the balancer to spin but for what the key was worth I replaced it with new one on the replacement engine. Probably would hurt but doubt it is a huge issue. Destroying a perfectly good engine that I took good care of hurt my feelings. Harry

    I just put a flapper on my 71 m35a2 and it had a hole through the counterweight and bracket that you can put a bolt or other device to lock the flapper closed.It is walker part # 35619. I haven't had time to see if it will keep rain out but it seems like if you had a similar part you could just...
