New Fuse Panel

Paul McLaren's Journal --

Put in one of Erics fuse panels! the heater fan blows much better with a relay in the circuit and the switch isn't carrying all of the load.

Re Doing The Interior Starting With The Floor

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:18:46 -0600

Paul McLaren's Journal --

Started a few weeks ago on my 2nd 70 B..
Pulled everthing up and removed all of the rust I Could with a wire brush on a drill and a grinder.
Installed dynamat on tunnel and firewall, sound proofing on the floor and rear bulk Head panel with aluminum foil tape on top.
Still going at it slowly just got the engine Bay painted. Also replaceing brake master, rear wheel cylinders, brake hoses, clutch master (rebuilt and slave (new),clutch hose, repacking and replacing bearings and all seals where needed. New Poly Prothane bushings on the rear end. Just put in the freshly painted Heater box and pressure tested heater core, it still had the original foam on both sides. All bullet connectors cleaned and lubed with many female ends replaced.
Next will be to replace electric oil pressure guage with a mechanical one.
