firefire Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Stein - I wouldn't have thought that movement in & out of the shaft would cause it to hit. I'd have thought that runout on the bearing/fan or having the motor mounted too far to one side would do it. But I hope you've fixed it. Hi. It is probably a combination of both. I tried to move the fan to the left but it would still rattle. Greetings Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefire Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Hi. It is probably a combination of both. I tried to move the fan to the left but it would still rattle. Greetings Stein Hi. After a sunny day its raining heavy again. 15'C. Lately I have smelled " wet carpet " . So after work today ( no rain then ) I looked under the carpet. Driver side. And almost the whole flat under was wet. And up to the oval lid. Found no signs of water coming in from under the lid. But the sealing over this little hole and claws was broken. This is a clip holding the speedometer wire. From the under side I sprayed the clip with a lot of body protection (tectyl) to try to seal the water out. Inside new sealing. Hope this will fix the problem with water under the carpet 🙂. Greetings Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Stein Hi. A few days after this repair I found a little puddle of water on the floor. Had not used Eddie since the repair either. Looked like the water had come down the inside of the firewall. Took of the fresh air intake grille. Under I found it had started to rust under the sealing. I found 2 holes🙁 Cleaned the whole length and treated it with rustkiller. New sealant and a copper plate over the hole Finally 2 layers of black enamel paint to seal it. This was 2 weeks ago. Hope this has fixed the leaking. The weather forecast promises a lot of rain tomorrow here in Oslo. Starting on the ride home tomorrow morning Greetings Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the more noble of two metals and will eat the iron right out from underneath it if it gets wet. (You're making a battery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You're making a battery) Hi. I did not know that😱. I thought copper would be ok because it does not rust like steel. I better fix it again soon. Thanks for your help.

firefire Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Hi. I did not know that😱. I thought copper would be ok because it does not rust like steel. I better fix it again soon. Thanks for your help. Greetings Stein Hi. We are approaching autumn and its cooler and more rain. But got the copper got out for steel. Lately my driver side door lock started to malfunction. My tape repair had failed. Luckily I found the brushes in the dirt in the bottom of the door.This time I used J-B Weld to put it together. Here together with the passenger side that looked ok.But the covers and switches are really brittle and broken. So I have to replace some of them. To get the switches out of the door panel press straight in on the locking springs. That will release them.DONT use force on the plastic😩After putting the door lock motors back in the doors the driver side one worked opposite of the passenger side. When pressing Lock the passenger side locked but the driver side unlocked😯. I had the gear off when repairing the driver side motor. But I cant figure out how that could change the mode of operation. I ended up with " modifying" the connection at the bottom of the motor so I could connect the power connector turned 180' . Well it works now. I have 2 new motors but I found out the connection pins in them sits closer than in the originals.🙁. Ultrapower 746147. Though they were said to fit -86 Bronco they dont. But Eddie runs good and I am playing a little with the carburetor. But today its no weather for cruising. Greetings Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Stein Facebook just notified me that 6 years ago I was in Stavanger, and it was much cooler there than here in Oklahoma. So since you are farther north than Stavanger I can easily see how your weather is cool and wet. 👍 But your repairs look good. The JB Weld should hold nicely. And reversing the wires is what I’d have done. Go for a drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top temps mostly between 40'f and 50'f. Eddie runs good. After changing jets ( again) in the carburator he is at 12,7 - 14,7 mpg. Local or long distance driving. The sticks have come out for snow ploughing. Changed oil and filter, before a wash. Then he is ready for 6 months rest. Waiting for the switch to InVision🙂. Good work👍.

Greetings Stein Looks good, Stein. But I hope you didn't get the coffee mixed up with the oil. And if you can get to 14.7 MPG you have it tuned very well.
