    Ameritech Helmet Hardtop almost ready to mount.

    MY free guess... Half of it goes left and right of the rear door to seal off the gaping hole where the tail gate mates when closed. Keeps some of the dust out. That's what I have on mine. It is glued on...but I fab up a strap and screwed it on to be sure. That's what It could be ??? Get some...

    2003 M1123 front coil springs

    Also search on the site here for spring and ride adjustments. Lots of combinations to suit ones needs. Some like OEM, and others tailor the shocks, springs for individual ride, load, look and pocket book. $$$ Bigger capacity may not be the best option for going to the mall on these retired...

    Injector Return Line replacement

    Return lines headaches. Here's the POOP from my experience on the fancy, green or black, no clips, slip on, with a woven outer jacket, general web sites kits or bulk lengths. At first this magic hose seemed to work... but I had my doubts, old school guy here, time will tell, give it a try ...

    Some lights work, other do not

    Remote repair is one of those times that both parties need to be on the same page or it turn into a training session... AND that's OK, it's what we do here. It gets a bit sideways when the problem is compounded with "I got this and that, and one of these too going on" Trouble shooting skills...

    M998 Brake Issues

    :unsure: Just a guess... Take a look at the proportion valve switch in the brake systems. Not much to see, But if front or rear hydro circuit is not correct it will turn on the light. Something to keep in mind. Located front of master cylinder off a bracket, Two wires to switch. Not a fan of...

    New headlight switch smoking

    If one studies the prints and has been back and forth with a harness or two... it is easy to come to the correct conclusion stated posts 4 - 8 - 9 above. Note too that the mechanical lighting switch requires NO ground. (not talking about the electronic one with built in smoke) This is a...
