Galvanized chassis swap. Part of basically a total rebuild when it’s all said and done.
Close up for you. CheersYes alu bar stock two pieces stewed together and the OEM mount on top to secure it eve more. Slight vibration seen at certain speeds but I I had that with OEM mirror as well.
Belmetric has the correct Norma hose clampsI replaced the radiator plug and the top fill plug with brass ones from Zach at RN (I bought enough to do all my rovers). Now that sounds like it would be easy, but the fill one was seized, then it ate a screw extractor and all the drilling in the world would not get it out, so I ended up replacing both hard lines (which involved breaking 2 hose clamps). But now shiny brass ones which happily go in and out. She also got stickers and an oil change from my mechanic and he did the exhaust collector gaskets.
I had some harbor freight stainless ones. Not ideal, but they work. It was supposed to be 5 min job after laying under the jeep most of the day ….Belmetric has the correct Norma hose clamps
Finally getting around to recovering the headliner and working on putting up some Dynamat. I think it's been the plan to do this for close to 4 years now. Always get to your own projects last... Couple more small pieces to go... Really do wonder why when I finally get to it, I pick he hottest, most muggy day of the year so far. Amazed at just how hot the roof gets (it's dark grey metallic on the outside). The headliner readily shields the inside from heat.View attachment 19874

That’s beige colored… is it the shitbox? Still have cookie sheets for the floorboards? That was you right?This is why I hoard. The tach died on the LWB which means bad alternator. I went to the attic because I knew I had a spare. So an alternator removed 15 years ago, given to me 12 years ago fixed the LWB. A very belated— well additional — thanks to Arthur for giving it to me. PS I used the gearwrench serp belt kit and it is very nice. That was one I bought and then I bought a second one on prime day (without the flex head).
