    Lift Door latches

    Used set of 4 door latches from a 1986 station wagon with new locks and 2 keys. The aft right latch did not open from the inside. I never took the time to troubleshoot and ended up replacing all my doors with push buttons recently. $200 + flat rate shipping

    Grenadier

    Last I was tracking, the first deliveries were scheduled for this month. Has anyone heard of anything actually happening or did Ineos delay it again?

    wingtop port (non-vented) - starboard side

    Are you trying to mount the NOCO plug vertically on the wingtip vent? That may cause issues with drainage of water/ice accumulating inside the plug over time. I mounted mine like this.. I would also recommend the kit with two female ends, so that you can add other accessories i.e. trickle...

    1991 200TDI to R2.8--couple remaining questions

    I have not been able to test mine in altitude. So far maybe 3000Ft in 60-70 temps, but but the outside temperatures in AK are starting to go below zero so I will have to wait until next year to see it perform at higher altitudes/temps.

    R2.8 Build Notes
