I'm that guy

So after I cut out one of my front trumpets I realized what the knuckles were for and why I need them. Oops. Guess I'm riding my bicycle to work for a few days.  50.gif

I guess you didn't see this on the other thread either -

While I'm at it. Instead of starting another thread will I need a cone compressor to install my hi los?  I still can't find my crazy manual so a new one is on order.

Cut out the old trumpets and you won't.  Much easier imo.

Ah, yes, but it also helps to use the cone compressor to hold the new cones at the top of the tower when re-installing the HiLo's and wobbly knuckle joints.


When I installed a new heater core in mine, I found some self-adhesive foam (noise insulating type, it was too thick, so I had to trim it down) and replaced the decayed strips at the flap-diverter.  The old heater core was wrapped/packed/sealed with a wool-like material, so I bought a wool placemat at the kitchen store and packed the new core as the old one.  I also used some metal-type duct sealing tape around where the flexi-hose joins the demister nozzles.

My biggest issue now is that the speedometer fogs up in cold, humid weather, so I should look into a new O-ring for that.
