Tom:
We want details. All of them!
The tailgate squeaks:
1) Are the T-all latches same as on the
Scout/Terra/Traveler? (Gotta be
right? IH was pretty consistent amongst all lines.)
2) You put the shrink tubing on the "fork" on the
gate or on the post on the
body?
3) Does anyone know if there is a replacement (I
know we've discussed this
before) for the Traveler hatch seal gasket
somewhere?
4) Does anyone know of a good reference on how to
deal with (as in make work
correctly) the latching mechanism itself on a Terra
tailgate/Traveler
liftgate? On mine, the lock doesn't prevent the
mechanism from working,
even in the lock position and with a good jerk on
the gate, you can get that
mechanism to let the "forks" rotate and release
pretty easily.
The copper exhaust gaskets
1) 3/4" pipe "unrolled" created a sufficiently large
enough piece of copper
to cut out the gasket?
2) What thickness of pipe wall tubing were you
using? "L" or "M"?
I'm seeing expanded applications of this low tech
solution to simple
problems. I love this kind of stuff.
