While still on the subject, does anyone have any idea where I might find the screw on cover for the lower light socket on the control box for the arctic kit? I have the upper one, but the lower one is gone. It's got what I believe to be orange lens on the end, and screws onto the bulb...

Well, I do know that this port is made to receive the "Swingfire" heater. If you're not familiar with them, it's kinda like a kero heater with a long probe on the end. You fire it up, insert it into the plug on the fender and it warms things up. But it seems like it's a redundant system, as...

Hi Mike, I have one close up pic of the swingfire heater port (that's what it's for, don't know for sure what it's called). Pay no attention to the dents! :( As near as I can tell, this isn't a standard part of the heater kit, as it's laid out in the install manual. I've only ever seen...

Hi, After looking at the archives, it would seem there are a few folks around here familiar with the CUCV Arctic Heater Kits. I have a question about them in relation to an M1009. Apologies up front if this is an obvious question... Would the simple fact of having the arctic heater kit...
