    Stupid newbie, the sticky's are there for a reason.

    Wow, just did 2hrs worth of reading on the 12v conversion....since i have the 12v starter i have 2 options. from what i undertand, if i want to do a full 12v conversion, the rosco. Conversion is the way to go? I went ot their site, read steps 1-5, & thats all there is, the guide refers to...

    Stupid newbie, the sticky's are there for a reason.

    Stupid newbie, the sticky's are there for a reason.

    Another question, the 24v system is the same, with the listed starter above, will I need to move the cables around for a 12v setup. & could the extra juice cause the prolong wind binder to wind down? Like I said it's not staying engaged, I know what that sounds like. I would almost swear that it...

    Stupid newbie, the sticky's are there for a reason.

    There is one issue, & i may have to search it out, but after the install, & starting it up, u can hear the bindex, winding down, not staying engaged, but winding down. I don't know if it is the starter, & i need to do the 12v conversion, or if its the starter relay. Which i'm doing the mod for...

    Any experience with Colorbond interior dye/paint?

    Cleaning well is the first step. Denatured alchol is good, since the dash pad is vynl useing some thinner will soften it up and the first coat will adhere to it nicely. Light coats is key.

    New member with a dilemma

    It is possible that who ever had it last had an issue with fuse popping (bad fuse) & replaced it with a higher amp fuse thus instead of the fuse popping due to an surge, the high amp fuse allowed the juice to flow & possible lead to the connector to burn up.

    A lil confussed

    So I was checkin over the engine bay, & I noticed a cut to what I assume is the resisters for the glow plug relay. So looked over the tm's, & notice that the positive wire that goes to the relay & fusible link are missing & the resistors are just sitting there takeing up space. So I took a few...
