Not so sure what I think about the clocking ring. I have some issues with how it's fitting together :glare:

Thanks

In and amongst some of the domestic chores, we may get the t-case in this weekend. Try to put Steve on that, as I need to study on getting the new pool filter plumbed. Mama says :winkk:

Like what? That is the same setup that I have and it works perfectly.

This one was a quality control joke. The screws that hold the clocking ring weren't seating, thus leaving a space between it and the spacer ring. Didn't much like seeing daylite in there. Had to run over to Jose's so he could deepen the counter sink. Now everything fits to my anal retentive standards :lip:

Oh, James, now that I think about it, when's a good time for you to insert some advice on getting the hydraulics hooked up on the clutch :?:

If I'm lucky, I'll have the t-case in and mount the slave today. Some talk of getting things hooked up and getting it back on the ground so we can drive it and get any bugs worked out of the engine, clutch, etc.

don't mount the slave yet. . .I probably could come by this evening if you are around. . .let me know.

Should be the both of us here as far as I know. I will need to find nuts to hold the slave. Didn't see any in the box

Mine didn't come with any either. . .you are going to need to take a trip to the hardware store for a clevis pin anyway, so just take the master/slave with you.

Also, make sure that you don't take the dang thing apart or you are out a Benjamin and have to start over.

Yeah, that was pretty evident with the one Steve thought he had at the yard :!:

Zipper head that took it out cut the tube :madd:

Okay, clevis pin :?:

Where that go

Postby **OldGreen** » Mon May 21, 2007 3:03 pm

I'll show you. . .I'll be there in a bit.

So, OG and I did some preliminary work on the location for the clutch hydraulics last nite :conf:

Suffice to say, Bubba gonna get to do some tin work :!:

The needed location to get everything to line up right comes out in the upper curve of the inner fender just outside the brake booster :glare:

Gotta pull the booster to get room to work. I'll take a stab at getting pix of the affected area up later...Of course, if'n some folks had listened to the voice of experience, we may not have had to have so much fun :glare:

Jim, I will start to see what I can do to make things less painful next trip over. And don't take old grumpy too serious :rolleyes:

Well, got me out to the garage and started test fitting the t-case :idea:

Not going like I had hoped :roll:

If I roll it up where I'd like, it hits the floor. If I roll it to where that's taken care of, the shifter mount on the t-case hits the back of the trans :curse:

And if I keep going down for that, it'll hang down below the frame :glare:

Postby **colemancooler** » Wed May 23, 2007 4:45 pm

I fixed the crossmember on a Scout 2 yesterday and the corner of the T case stuck below the frame just a little

It is going to hang below the frame unless you do some tin work on the passenger side floor. My advice is "get a hammer" and go for the flat belly.

Final fit may have to wait :glare:

I need to spend the next day or so on the new pool filter :thu:

Keep ya posted...

Postby **Grumpy** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 11:45 am

Okay, so now we're looking at 2-1/2" lift springs and SOA to get it going :shock:

This will get the monkey (ME) off his back :wink:

Also give time to gather funding for a coil conversion :conf:

Okay...

!#$!!@&*! Scout &*#! t-case.... :twisted:

Postby **OldGreen** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 7:43 am

Spring over 2 1/2 Lift spring over? What did they put in those Cigarettes?

Also, the device for making the TCase fit is called a "Hammer".

Time to figure out a cross member and how much tin to cut out of the floor to get things where we need 'em :shock:
