<br />I set up the tent to open on the drivers side and with the drop-side down there is access to the bed of the truck through the ground tent. Really happy with the quality of the TJM Yulara tent. The vestibule is a bit more work to set up but has a lot of storage space on the floor, making more room for sleeping on the cargo platform of the truck itself.<br />

Picked up the TJM Yulara model and optional annex. I'm really happy with the quality of the tent and fittings. The picture below doesn't show the annex attached (thats it on the ground below the tent), but the plan is to use the annex to access a bunk in the bed of the truck with the passenger side dropside lowered. The annex will provide out of weather storage as well. I might add an inexpensive awning on the passenger side of the cab as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Simply removed the wheels, then scuffed and degreased them, then followed with a coat of zinc primer and a shot of Plasticoat wheel paint. I'm quite happy with the wheel paint.

Cutting the frame will be the easy part. The frame cuts will be made at the midway point along the fixed glass portion.

Third brake light wire runs behind the gates top (at bottom of photo) wooden slat. I routed a channel on the back side of the slat from the brake light to the hinged upright on the driver side. The wire runs along the route and exits at a hole drilled behind the upright, then down to the hinge where another hole was drilled through to access the vehicle wiring behind the drivers side tail light. At some point, I'm going to redrill the hole at the centre of the hinge so the wire won't be exposed at all. Finished by tapping onto the (black and red) wire at the tail light plug and it's good to go.<br /><br /><em>(note: a bit of a screw up resulted in to me having to separately ground the rear drop-side. The wire can be seen at far left in top photo. Initially, I was hoping that the new light would ground through the drop-side hinges. This didn't work because the drop-sides, when closed, sit up on rubber bumpers built into the drop-side hinges. These bumpers are designed to prevent rattling and also unfortunately serve to insulate the drop sides, preventing a good ground.)</em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTy7TE6z6LcL4qqdmeAwUx7RyiwirtgyXMkv7BIvMytEIN26D1Gds-cqPcrjR_UGVcXunaCu_YfbNzBt0ZrB8oCcefSk_SnWGGTDNnWzcf0PdUtBkx9L3nrpe__SKzEZs9Og1JGmTvo3R/s1600/IMGP8556.JPG"><em><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551783311095391090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTy7TE6z6LcL4qqdmeAwUx7RyiwirtgyXMkv7BIvMytEIN26D1Gds-cqPcrjR_UGVcXunaCu_YfbNzBt0ZrB8oCcefSk_SnWGGTDNnWzcf0PdUtBkx9L3nrpe__SKzEZs9Og1JGmTvo3R/s400/IMGP8556.JPG" /></em></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg54ASlbpX-9THXWJPuOtTEUA1to7jDMQ_VdM8EkVzYP7i0ZGuvNBYX8TPt5sQfXdCQzxSJfZp-tuamdBfey2A4CctZTFJMeCX-vMXb_w-Hatg9pf4ix78YIoWdhypSJEDPVx1FCC3OyZRa/s1600/IMGP8554.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551783307472788258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg54ASlbpX-9THXWJPuOtTEUA1to7jDMQ_VdM8EkVzYP7i0ZGuvNBYX8TPt5sQfXdCQzxSJfZp-tuamdBfey2A4CctZTFJMeCX-vMXb_w-Hatg9pf4ix78YIoWdhypSJEDPVx1FCC3OyZRa/s400/IMGP8554.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Not much to show here. Added the Go Westy kit which included relays for the high and low beams (seen in the picture on the top right of the fuse box), high power Hella bulbs bulbs for both the high and low beams and new 20 amp fuses. A quick project which took about 30 minutes. The Go Westy kit directions make the project simple to follow. Headlights are now much brighter and the power to them no longer all runs through the previously overworked headlight switch. <em>If you are doing this, make sure the ground contacts are very good or a lot of heat can build up.</em><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzRnVzTad3QowPtWPLy3AePZMMguOrHQSHkpQFcrMhx4KtRjKv-5wZBKfVjAql9B5uicV0npmWNKpwxg9EqofA6dUdKhrI_8-54mT0z1M4Bs7ABh-28phY-TRaWJjP_PZQkHmK3JWY45Fs/s1600/SANY0104.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551777099902714866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzRnVzTad3QowPtWPLy3AePZMMguOrHQSHkpQFcrMhx4KtRjKv-5wZBKfVjAql9B5uicV0npmWNKpwxg9EqofA6dUdKhrI_8-54mT0z1M4Bs7ABh-28phY-TRaWJjP_PZQkHmK3JWY45Fs/s400/SANY0104.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Go Westy kit contents:<br /><br /><br /><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8zxF_kK6HPbeSm4dpBzurCHLTR5nvfvbJC7-O2XHn9hJs3Dc7WcueZtpa3WZkabC24YuT0ttGLsU4TSkNa4UfOasvOyBMPAhJH51NcYKT8-uyLXXDLOXhePZEqkfZrM67GeyUmhJAqi1d/s1600/SANY0101.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551777094188100882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8zxF_kK6HPbeSm4dpBzurCHLTR5nvfvbJC7-O2XHn9hJs3Dc7WcueZtpa3WZkabC24YuT0ttGLsU4TSkNa4UfOasvOyBMPAhJH51NcYKT8-uyLXXDLOXhePZEqkfZrM67GeyUmhJAqi1d/s400/SANY0101.JPG" /></a> </div><div></div><div></div><div>Also replaced all tail light bulbs with high power luxeon LED bulbs from Super Bright LED. </div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">Oh yeah, and replaced a non-working reverse light switch on the transmission.

Worked with a combination of the self adhesive aluminium/rubber mentioned in an earlier post, fire resistant acoustic foam, reflectix insulation and some heavy rubber matting I had left over from another project.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNfHnFHbvtfDZpeUs8ULiRv4Zxe4sL9owIcx2F38b-duqMhp21NLPZmyxvPkS0Gc0Smpk7uknt4GozAV1-TT9WOW_q82JP2pTiMPWGAzykt3ULV4gQxOy3UIokJS1VcBq26jF2bfCQ7TgU/s1600/IMGP7397.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466210370840998018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNfHnFHbvtfDZpeUs8ULiRv4Zxe4sL9owIcx2F38b-duqMhp21NLPZmyxvPkS0Gc0Smpk7uknt4GozAV1-TT9WOW_q82JP2pTiMPWGAzykt3ULV4gQxOy3UIokJS1VcBq26jF2bfCQ7TgU/s400/IMGP7397.JPG" /></a> I rolled the aluminium/rubber on with a large spark plug socket and sealed some of the edges with aluminium roofing tape. The butyl rubber compound won't off-gas and so I didn't worry about sealing all of the edges. Also, as the intent is only to prevent a harmonic resonance, there is no need to cover the entire surface with this material. The reflectix and acoustic foam will provide thermal insulation and attenuate reflected sound. As well, I pulled the bench seat out and cut some heavy rubber to cover the cab floor. It will be under the stock matting. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG7bxH-UNbH12zYd15dVpSJn20w1BZMQS41MUirpHxPHjaZiR2cKpHPXVhWVsowCbLrLtwq0rBKAuzA3O3SfQ7ldZhlKmpDWZ7cmD6jsF9TnLtMOzd4moDvn1qTDvoWd1vgroJFKt6_aVf/s1600/IMGP7393.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466210358187295314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG7bxH-UNbH12zYd15dVpSJn20w1BZMQS41MUirpHxPHjaZiR2cKpHPXVhWVsowCbLrLtwq0rBKAuzA3O3SfQ7ldZhlKmpDWZ7cmD6jsF9TnLtMOzd4moDvn1qTDvoWd1vgroJFKt6_aVf/s400/IMGP7393.JPG" /></a><br />I ended up insulating all 3 of the cab doors as well as the floor, bulkhead behind the rear bench seat and driver rear side of the cab.

Unlike regular body filler which is primarily composed of talc and which can absorb moisture, the All Metal is made with aluminium and so resists water a lot better. The down side: its more work to sand and some say won't take paint as well. So I'll just overcoat it with a thin layer of regular filler before painting.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qwtP0C49m4LNeoa3F5NE3QdgJezCeyV1jh1Ja9eHGx8YYVMnVqIG7eqh8lH19169JaRrpha64Nbs_g7EijCIrf5eusEZ_3Uf2eTpib6LHTXM-gUT5b6whJjVY7M2V2-ULA5FitTcNhWM/s1600/SANY0195.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460238350727006882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qwtP0C49m4LNeoa3F5NE3QdgJezCeyV1jh1Ja9eHGx8YYVMnVqIG7eqh8lH19169JaRrpha64Nbs_g7EijCIrf5eusEZ_3Uf2eTpib6LHTXM-gUT5b6whJjVY7M2V2-ULA5FitTcNhWM/s400/SANY0195.JPG" /></a><br /><br />The bottom of the step. The replacement step has the holes that VW uses to anchor the plastic step pad.

With a bit of shaping, the slugs were worked to conform to the curved surface a bit better. I tack welded them in place, then sealed the edges with JB weld and used the All Metal filler to fill the depression on the other side. Once they are in place, I'll spray some rubberized rockerguard in place of the step pad to provide a bit of grip and sound deadening.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0SDnSuTHLDjUWGgGv203YovRKwobGMpYPU58rpoFXH4B22AJvhVmjwDldUcgMb0hTJAUAmdC7xpPibuHHPwjb8adsIrRAx7-lg2UgCcY2jYUXGX07EXly2PNKKLne0sI0yKJSvui20xLS/s1600/SANY0023.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460238336387191554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0SDnSuTHLDjUWGgGv203YovRKwobGMpYPU58rpoFXH4B22AJvhVmjwDldUcgMb0hTJAUAmdC7xpPibuHHPwjb8adsIrRAx7-lg2UgCcY2jYUXGX07EXly2PNKKLne0sI0yKJSvui20xLS/s400/SANY0023.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Jay Colbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155848190707009515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168001166122548070.post-14590267718977854152010-04-14T22:37:00.001-07:002012-07-13T09:12:27.584-07:00New EngineNew SVX engine for the doka:<br />

The upper anchors required 90mm long bolts and were secured through the cross member which runs across the rear cab bulkhead.<br />I also attached two over-center clasps to secure the lower seat.<br /><br /><br />Upper child seat anchor:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jxHzy_td_uEtsgc3gzzhKPIhBZB2xL72hMI7C70pAErTH7hJkV9cgn1YioBCedbsrFDH_8LEj9ZEEiLihKDPvtFl-5aysSJ05OdTMBMVk5fDNhCArXdqcELw7F5eZ1P-UPzHZohA0wV4/s1600-h/IMGP7094.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424637949487507458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jxHzy_td_uEtsgc3gzzhKPIhBZB2xL72hMI7C70pAErTH7hJkV9cgn1YioBCedbsrFDH_8LEj9ZEEiLihKDPvtFl-5aysSJ05OdTMBMVk5fDNhCArXdqcELw7F5eZ1P-UPzHZohA0wV4/s400/IMGP7094.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423010030814965234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUkTpbFab8nlHujQcqJlAfxkvL0dngSvt-NB85jR-iiHGFA0sFsjTcVO6SMp_3KUPJCYPgJFLYV8sk21iGpTPuECulCVzEmLzGjGUihDg0pVbv5689URTooDiOU86dknittpoxDBH3W860/s400/IMGP7004.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423012704657075858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb9xOOQ0K23T9f_fU5mEXhRkkTQ3fmQTk7r1XMn47OSoeKdjCwIY8FD8mg_fk_354Ex7_tTS89FXp0oHBG6NT8vOwjzOsxEI5YYswMMs9Ss81yrapd_VZLCg7dmx2V140HToUnPdlaCGpN/s400/IMGP6998.JPG" /></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 402px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 334px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423014403805386258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Wrf5OQ_K7bRRB3xfe1P-jcTBBqSxm3HNE5Yseb0XcqOcCss6kaKeHmlhxpLQamrmLJNCuzKvM2sPq00bfIxaW7HL7JfkiRMAxZqnfy0E4QiRr4XG8e_sZxfN6xAHBf5DNEAwegsidUIu/s400/IMGP6995.JPG" /><br /><p>The anchors inside the treasure chest:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq-LteJdnIsfWPFx0-53BydulFGU4UuMs8QA69T3VJJbDhKC7aypx1OqdstY8xfGYmFJW9M29mPgP5N5rh2jca_d9pKJuGGpaSP_YtKvhHEhoiRY6k_HuWDQPjDjWkY83x-DgZIzjaMNG7/s1600-h/IMGP7000.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423010049537886834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq-LteJdnIsfWPFx0-53BydulFGU4UuMs8QA69T3VJJbDhKC7aypx1OqdstY8xfGYmFJW9M29mPgP5N5rh2jca_d9pKJuGGpaSP_YtKvhHEhoiRY6k_HuWDQPjDjWkY83x-DgZIzjaMNG7/s400/IMGP7000.JPG" /></a><br /></p><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUepy4tSHMN4aZqHUtOq_CEz02wPL_dUFBIMIrqMDVBVIqaXnDprJ4Ci91p7kCW7fMmsKb0zMrWl_hs3C3ZOOElrxymZiTKKyEVIqQ5XYXHnihN2p3RAOB-VwRcrbmRO3hinT0VoMmxVZU/s1600-h/IMGP6989.JPG"></a></div></div></div>Jay Colbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155848190707009515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168001166122548070.post-46271746850697154402009-12-08T19:24:00.001-08:002009-12-08T19:46:49.696-08:00Rust Repair Part IIISome more metal cutting yesterday. The rust on the bottom of the bed frame is pretty much all just surface with the exception of the area immediately aft of the locker and right above the fuel filler. The box section above the fuel area has full thickness rust and it can be seen quite clearly in the photo. This necesitated the removal of the body metal at the fuel filler. I cut away the metal very carefully here. I'll be able to graft the metal from around the filler back in when I put this all back together. <br /><br />I'll be cutting this rust all out and rebuilding the box. I will however add in drain holes that will allow any water to drain out and finally exit at the factory drains near the outer bushing of the trailing arm. <br /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Before this gets closed up, all seams will be filled, everything will get POR15 and a complete coating of bedliner under the bed on all surfaces.(!!)</span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiwY71wIddqa-eLNS7fDs47CvhMaJoHqwfeoXoWgBswOtG1Vc8dCR45bbGJKAM5icyaLZylEWdyqDjT0fCOgY-Rg7r2spoRDIPEMDeB60384bDV5VsMb5mvgxGBYZRPcp3xuhMU_b7Ygzd/s1600-h/IMGP6674.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413073709980188786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiwY71wIddqa-eLNS7fDs47CvhMaJoHqwfeoXoWgBswOtG1Vc8dCR45bbGJKAM5icyaLZylEWdyqDjT0fCOgY-Rg7r2spoRDIPEMDeB60384bDV5VsMb5mvgxGBYZRPcp3xuhMU_b7Ygzd/s400/IMGP6674.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /> <span style="color:#3366ff;">The "hole":<br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7KnbSpWAtH-sT9gLSKq19hjefH4x-BQ6RBnGHXWEuLCwsllIIs_Y1ULg9yU5y306DT8UkekSPDDynRxdt3LwAySNaqbsQIUBl6yFvcAK7i37kzooEoU09CWr4PuzROVo2TBzaoD3qPNlP/s1600-h/IMGP6673.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413073701822806770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7KnbSpWAtH-sT9gLSKq19hjefH4x-BQ6RBnGHXWEuLCwsllIIs_Y1ULg9yU5y306DT8UkekSPDDynRxdt3LwAySNaqbsQIUBl6yFvcAK7i37kzooEoU09CWr4PuzROVo2TBzaoD3qPNlP/s400/IMGP6673.JPG" /></a> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">Starting to attack the fender with much to be done here as well:<br /></span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigHUIrwweZBH5ptJck3RoC0M-O8ZN_Qnp-v3Qrt6yIHQ5b69TV1c3xJU-Or199p11X-pthoyYF9f94yqVdF1a7Lur6C9Ro0rEFtKF0_xPKpLF9mPteV1F___GiiiiSf1LkTK_8krmRzOt4/s1600-h/IMGP6574.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413072944555702450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigHUIrwweZBH5ptJck3RoC0M-O8ZN_Qnp-v3Qrt6yIHQ5b69TV1c3xJU-Or199p11X-pthoyYF9f94yqVdF1a7Lur6C9Ro0rEFtKF0_xPKpLF9mPteV1F___GiiiiSf1LkTK_8krmRzOt4/s400/IMGP6574.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIBfPM8npH23amvhRA58Rmq2yo8YdNfzR7FEM-m9VY8_7G8-J15uuOKlxtZ6hFmBHiydNALawcg6mDhQwamMnkTCN5kvP5AsU5wzDBF_d2w3weJY-Y812FnIW-DX63LdS1OMkTFaswYZ_l/s1600-h/IMGP6614.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413072619352701266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIBfPM8npH23amvhRA58Rmq2yo8YdNfzR7FEM-m9VY8_7G8-J15uuOKlxtZ6hFmBHiydNALawcg6mDhQwamMnkTCN5kvP5AsU5wzDBF_d2w3weJY-Y812FnIW-DX63LdS1OMkTFaswYZ_l/s400/IMGP6614.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Jay Colbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155848190707009515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168001166122548070.post-39339507954252132222009-12-05T18:04:00.001-08:002009-12-05T20:44:11.381-08:00Engine Hatch Key<span style="color:#3366ff;">Decided to hand-file the key to fit the wafers in the pattern they were already in.
