Greg I would not be able to put up with the political BS of a big company, good luck.

Dave and Aaron a lot of guys are putting in the 6.4 banjo bolts because the flow more fuel.

I'm so sick of this middle east BS. Why can't we start drilling more here? Oh yeah, BP screwed that up to a degree. I've never been a political guy, so I guess I just don't understand.

I think secretly they don't wanna drill here so in the future when all other supplies are depleting we will be an oil super power. So for now they appear to be conscientious of all the tree huggers but in reality we all know the American people seldomly get what the majority of us all want.

Good day everyone.

Hmm $5.00 a gallon just for gasoline and add a couple dimes more for the diesel.
More pressure on me to get that over drive transmission and the propane system.

Need a job first

Andy thanks for the update on the banjo bolts, don't think I'll need those since I'm not going to put larger injectors on my truck. Unless its a real easy R&R?

My bad

Yes I got the new battery box, nice setup for easy servicing.
The forward & aft plates unbolt, so too does the outboard plate.
The top plate is two-piece and slides in from the aft end, the two pieces enable them to come out with out dismounting the back wheel, the body narrows going forward so that direction is out.
The batteries are mounted as pairs inside the one box.
The base plate for each pair tips down, besides being able to better service the batteries that way, battery R&R is much easier.
With the batteries off their base plates, those base plates can be slid forward and dismounted from the foundation of the battery box.
It is a prototype, came together quite well, the only glitch was the hold-downs were spaced based on the top profile and not the base which extends out further.
The quickest fix was to flapper-wheel down the battery flanges to gain relief.
