mirror, minus light
how to wire the doors
use picks to press in on the outside of the brass ferule
pull out to get loose of housing
note the silver mark - I mark the wire and its attendant hole so they don't get mixed up going back together
remove the housing
remove from the wire guard
there is a hole that lines up with the hole in the door... feed into the door jamb
feed the wire through the guard then into the door
snap the wires back into the housing
and then install the dust block
then onto wrapping sidepipes...
the stainless is growing on me
I used DEI wrap, then used two exhaust pipe clamps to hold either end.... that ain't goin' nowhere lol

time to show the result.
the metal band is over the DEI wrap
right next to it is 215 degrees
I had to adjust the front band to be sure it wasn't touching the bit that's 379 degrees - because heat does travel... that said, I may still paint "HOT" as a stencil ... stylistically I won't like it but I don't want to see someone get a nasty burn
to be clear, the point of the wrap is to prevent me or a passenger from getting burned getting in or out
then I worked on the power window motor... it's toast
note the step where the brushes ride...
hopefully the new motors will arrive soon - been patient because Zip was a lot cheaper... but time's up.

I'm messing with you, it sounds great. Good on you for putting the wrap on there. Calf burns are really bad. Scars are okay for guys I guess, but I feel kinda bad for all the beautiful girls I've met with scars from motorcycles. Ouch.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

lights.... work
now to wire the linear actuators... there's a possibility that I'll either be buying more actuators or that they "only adjusted at the factory" means "only adjusted at the factory unless it goes to Aaron"
in other news, starting to get the interior sealed up as well
