As days go by, and taking care of the body by not rushing it. ;-)
Main thing lately was changing out the wiper motor on the vette because a circuit board is not available for this model. Ordered a whole used motor that had been tested and hoping to just rob the board off it for an easy swap. Nope, insides different so , though it will fit and work on a 95, tis not the exact same.
So, get the old one out. Having to soak the wiper blade assemblies with penetrating oil to get the release to work. Getting them off and the old hose for the washer breaks but all good.
Getting the wiper arm off the motor was not fun and yes on a magnet to get parts dropped in that space. Then the 3 bolts that hold the motor against the firewall was and experience.
The tested to see if the replacement worked after hooking it up to the electrics and it did and that's good. Getting it in place was it for that day as back was getting sore.
Then the Stearman fly in
was happening this last weekend so was there Saturday afternoon doing some pics and got to see a crash
with an experimental plane that was there visiting and not part of the Stearman deal. Of course lots of private aircraft were there as this pic shows
A day off and riding about on Suzy the Bandit was good. Due to no rain lately ( YEH! ) grass cutting is not needed , just a bit of weed eating here and there.
Then back to the Vette and it's wiper motor installation. Reassembled the ball joint arm which took a couple tries before getting it right.
Getting the motor in place and getting the mounting bolts started was a bit of a pain but once got the 1st one started and figuring out the technique to do it, was not super bad. Had to disconnect a hose that was in the way and should of done that when taking the unit out of there. And , that was the end for that day. Letting the back rest.
Not a lot happen since then as grass still good. But downloaded a book from Amazon and reading it via computer and Kindle app. About the 8 girls that were killed around here a few years back and all the LEO corruption happening during the period. Knew it was happening but keeping your nose out of it made for a better life. -)
So, maybe today, get the car together?????? ;-)
Till the next!
