Just got the word. If its a DOT splice and it does not leak I'm good to go. Cool.
So the plan is to remove the 3/8 " lines from the chassis. Install new lines on the valve and mount it back where it belongs. then I will make the splice to the chassis lines to the new lines from the mounted...
First impressions of driving the M1078. Test was 1 mile x 3. Idle seams high ? Needed to be firm on the brakes.(Yeppe I have brakes) May have been a little light on the throttle , would hang a little before shifting. 2 to 3 to 4 very firm. From their it was ok 5 to 6. Never got to 7. To short a...
Huston ! We have brakes !
Would like to kill the guy that cut the valve out of the system. I have just enough 3/8" tubing to test the system. But not enough to install the valve back into the mounting hole. BASTARD !
Install a new 1/2" hose but the 3/8" run to the rear. I don't think its legal...
Thanks for the CAD offers. I've been working in Turbo CAD, for sometime now. But don't have a CAD router table and I'm not sure it would speed things up ?
For now I will stick with the old ways and prototype for their.
I did order a M3 mount. Going to be in some trouble for that with the...

So I got my missing valve ( front left ). # are 3/8" hose and one is 1/2" hose. The valve assemble was missing the hose fittings caps,ferrell and crunch tubes. So I went to my Weather-Head stuff. The 1/2" is fine but the 3/8" have a different thread than my Weather-head ?
Can anybody tell...

Can you see their eyes when they think they have a "World" traveler staying at their camp ! LOL
Yep, my GF / Wife keeps me young also.
Looks like I will make a mold-less for my truck and then I will post photos.
I know Will. But $800+ is to high for a real / take-off for me.
May even make one for a German M3 gun mount ? Then I can mount a M60 or my 1919a4 ?
Being a boat guy I'm thinking about building a turret cover. It will be a fiberglass system with a foam core .
I have two ways to go. One is mold-less or build a mold. Only need a mold to do more than one.
If you could get a turret cover made of fiberglass,unpainted ,would you pay $250 +...

After a private message, I need to ask the a question. Some time ago I was told the MRAP wheels would work on a M1078. Is this true or not ? If its not its ok,I just don't need to buy wheels.
