John finished the electrical system!
I spent this morning at Russell's finishing up the electrical. Everything that I've tested works and there's no smoke coming out of any wires!
There are a couple of items that are pretty important.
The vent window rivets need to be mushroomed and I have not been able to effectively do it. Nothing I've tried worked so I'm hoping someone who's done this can show us how.
The windshield washer fluid tank need to be removed, cleaned and brought back to life. The fluid lines need to be bought and routed correctly through the wiper switch and to the squirters. I think Brian has done this in the past and maybe he could look at this one?
I'm hoping to go to our 4 Peaks event. Thanks to everyone for all your help. John Manning
