steviem Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Thanks Jerry, that was the way I was going to go, final question on this subject, fender welting or anti squeak yes or no again I've seen both arguments some do, some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jeep Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 i don't you have enough trouble just with the wings and grill then add the anti squeak best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviem Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just trying a few fittings, footrest is miles out at one hole, the floor has captive nuts, should I elongate the hole, or drill another and use nut and bolt, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jeep Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 just spread the legs out a bit so you do not need to drill extra holes that's what i do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What do use for that Jerry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Footrest in, used a bar gently push it over the hole, another dry fit issue, should my glove box have the spring, the striking plate stops the catch, is it the right catch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jeep Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 late jeeps had a much higher catch witch did away with the lock plate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks Jerry I thought it was the catch, it will retract all the way if I use my fingers but not when pushing the button, the spring was for earlier jeeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jeep Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 yes only early jeeps had the spring the screw hole for the lock plate was left open also the data plates were screwed on with a pressed type nut you can get them i think jeeparts have them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks Jerry, spent a few hours after work today fitted canvas covers over the gear shifts, push button locks on the toolboxes, blackout light guard arrived I'll bang that on, slight smell of fuel when working around drivers foot well i assume this is normal.

steviem Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hi guys anyone know of any dealers selling the fender Black out lamp, I have the outer frame, I've checked most of the UK dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, anyone know where I can get fender blackout bulbs from please, 12v. Either the unit is faulty or i have a blackout light feed problem, I'll take the unit to work tomorrow and get it tested.

Jerry Jeep Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 all the blackout lights were 6volt you need to get the same type of bulb holder as the panel lamp smash out the old bulb and then you can push the new holder in and fit it with a 12 volt unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
