Windigo build thread

modified a powersteering pump to bolt up.
you need an 8mm drill bit and a m10x1.25 tap
also remove stock pully and put onto you new or used pump
since my machine shop is making parts for the golden dome I had to come up with a way to drill a straight hole in the power steering pump.

Wow you even kept the collapsable portion of the steering shaft!

 

That has to be changed eventually. But it will get me by for now.

 

Finally got a fitting for.the power steering box. The one in there never reached bottom so never stopped turning.

Also got the t.case crossmember done. Made from Scrap pieces

 

Crushing it! Keep it going. Can’t wait to see it all done and pick your brain so you can help me with mine

 

Thanks. I'm trying.

 

One bite at a time

 

Probably not a huge concern at this point. How does the trucks speedometer get a reading? The only wires to the manual transmission is for reverse light. I think it gets its speed from the transfer case.

 

I don't know and that is an honest answer. I just don't know. I guess after I figure out the brakes I'll get to it..

 

Got some u joints with flanges off. Just waiting on some conversion joints 1330/1350 and 1330/1310.

 

Loosing a lot of days to crappy weather anyway the other day I got all the shifters in place. I'm going to leave the floor untill I get it running again.

 

Looking good. Going to be ready for July?

 

Realistically, hoping for middle or end of July.
If, if all goes well after it's started, if it starts. Battery dead for weeks now.

 

Still pretty quick. Lots of work!

Ok. Thanks for that. I think.
