Drove to Herlong and picked up my new to me, never issued cargo cover kit. Tried to get it installed when we got home, but too dark for pictures. I will post some tomorrow
wow....I can see now how it has some uses in the automotive side, especially where wire passes through clamps or metal holes (like a firewall). I guess I will need to put some of this up for sale as I have more than a lifetimes supply.
LED headlamps can be tricky as the +/- has to be put on correctly or they will not function properly. I would use a voltmeter to identify the +/- leads. Don't assume the military numbers are correctly labeled. When I changed to LED on my M1078 I had some issues just like you describe. I was...

I have a bunch of rolls of what appears to be a silicon-based tape. They were in a lot of stuff I picked up. If I can get out to the rolls and find an MSN number, I will post it
