Did a little surfing with the warm weather in Montauk.
Finally pulled the seat box. Thank goodness it is aluminum.
As I was nearing the end of getting all the nuts and bolts out I thought for sure that there would have been a couple hidden ones.
Should probably get in there with some greaser and a vacuum.
And have to build the new box. Does anyone sell the gearbox adapter plate for an LT77? I know I can reuse it like YRM states but thought it might be easier to go new.
In a related task I have a battery disconnect that I do not want to reused but wouldn't mind getting a new one. Are they a good idea? Any recommendations? I like the Blue Sea systems ones but not sure exactly which one to get. I have a 200Tdi.

And of course are there any vendors that sell these?
Thanks

New stainless load space mat retaining trim and lower door seal. Looks nice and tidy now.
Got my re-trimmed headliner installed last night after applying a layer of b-quiet and a layer of 5mm uxcell foam.
Looks great! Where did you get it re-trimmed?
- Used all new foam seals and SS hardware for reassembly. After 2-3 days, retighten, as foam compresses.
Thanks!
I had it retrimmed at a place a couple blocks from me http://generalautoglassandupholstery.com/
Might be a bit far....
Curious what you noticed in regards to cabin noise with the lining?

Ahh... battery box rebuild. Fun. What I learned:
-The YRM pieces will need a little tweaking on the corners to create correct offsets.
- Sand where rivets are going before riveting, alu etch primer on those areas that are aluminum.
- Scuff and alu etch prime new pieces before assembly.
- SikaFlex or similar to seal joints once assembled.
- Used all new foam seals and SS hardware for reassembly. After 2-3 days, retighten, as foam compresses.
- I bought Blue Sea components off of Amazon at 1/2 the cost. And learned that there are hundreds of trucks in Europe with basic dual battery systems that cost under 100 bucks, using basic relays.
