    Remove bolt/stud for Alternator bracket

    Finished taking out a alternator and the external voltage regulator mounted to the fender, then put in a series 3 alternator bracket and installed a new ACR type Alternator (internal voltage regulator) with appropriate plug. Hooked the large wire from one of the two large term at alternator to...

    Remove bolt/stud for Alternator bracket

    Looking at the old wiring today, I have 3 wires left after removing the voltage regulater. 1 large wire - Starter switch, and two smaller wires, one going to a dummy light and another going to the fuse box. What should I do with the extra wire going to the fuse box?

    Remove bolt/stud for Alternator bracket

    I thought I would change Alternators to a ACR type since the old one is a makeshift everything and has caused me lots of problems. In the picture- is that one long stud threaded in or two studs one on each end? Whats the best way to remove such with out snapping both ends off? I am trying to...

    Another Brake Post - no brakes

    Well like a moron I messed up the rear brakes leading and trailing shoe. Thats sorted out, next I measured the drums. They were all well over 11inches inner dia. The worst offender was one of the rear drums at 11 5/16. The drum itself is stamped max 11-06 ;Does that mean 11.06 inches? Another...

    2a LWB brake both axle shoe replacement

    I scanned the instructions that came with the genuine replacement in case anybody is interested in the future. Not the best quality and a little hard to follow. The adjusters I cut off from the front had the spring on the exterior / outside of the back-plate, the replacement instructions called...

    2a LWB brake both axle shoe replacement

    What! :eek: I just replaced my front adjusters with a kit yesterday. Did yours break off? The kit with the new adjusters seemed to go on ok for me, (bolt in) I had to grind the old ones off plus the instruction sheet was a little hard to read. It said not to over torque. Haven't tested the...

    New vent hinge pin arrived. How does this go on?

    Probably a stupid question. I ordered 4 pins for my vents. They are like the ones for sale here. It may be called a Clevis pin, I don't get how install them besides sliding them in. There is no hole for a cotter or split pin, just that slot on the opposite side of the mushroom you see in the...

    I believe I found the part number for the terry clips - 334073 or S2-334073 Maybe the 2a 109 did'nt come with the crank handle , I might just have to find a spot out of the way for it.

    Zenith Fix with pictures

    I bought a new Zenith a couple years back and only put about 40 hours on it since. Well all of the sudden one hot tropical day, black smoke, poor to no idle, no power, poor acceleration, dieseling. I had my brother in law - a mechanic look at it – he was puzzled. I had enough today and took it...

    Ok, the clips for the crank handle get attached to some holes behind the mat. I have'nt found the holes but will look and obtain some terry clips. The mat is glued on I guess so I'll have to get underneath to check it out for the place to attach the clips..

    Any ideas where a good place to store the engine hand crank? I was thinking maybe there was some brackets that get mounted to one of the side benches. Also I can not find anywhere on the internet a picture of the lid for the tub in the back of a 109. I want to see what kind of hinge and hasp I...

    Zenith help needed

    Ok Mad Hat Man, I think your suggestion solved it for me. The float was at 29mm and I adjusted it to 33mm. -I learned something new. Another thing that is working again is the volume control screw. I guess the throttle butterfly flap needs to be cracked open at 1.4mm for idle/start on a zenith...
