Your right. There will be coolant flowing thru. The copper brake line should radiate the heat pretty good, and the stainless tube, beeing a real poor heat conductor itself focuses the heat right on the wiper blade.

Continued on the wiper blade by slotting the stainless tube: All parts: Cut a slot on the opposite side: Straithened the brake line: Drilled some holes: Put it in: Almost finished: Side view: Ok, who has an idea what this is good for?

Started by making a mounting plate for the wiper motor today: Shortened the lever according to the desired stroke: Everything together and aligned: Mocked up: View from the inside: Here`s a short clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqtsXamPPlI Then i started building the wiper...

Thanks. Next two projects are already planned, so there should always be a build thread... Started building the wiper today: First i cut the base plate: Made some mounts for the bushings : Tacked them on. Was pretty hard because they are at odd angles in all planes: Put the wipers...

Thanks guys. I just dry to do my best... Gusseted the line guide today: Then i made the first floor panel: There`s just enough room: Then i started with the heater: Made some mounts: Then i had some help to make sure there`s no contact with the seat when it go`s up and down...

Started by cutting of the pedals and front sheetmetal: Layed the new panel out: Cut it out: Tacked it in: Layed out and cu the hole. Cut it bigger on purpose so the line guide won`t take my windshield out when it`s moving a bit under hard pulls: Tacked it on: Remounted the...

Started machining the rear fairlead mounting flange: Here`s a trick to get hole pattern layed out real easy. Just mark the diameter using a sharp hss tool. The find something to stuff between one jaw and a part of the lathe. Scribe it using the cross slide then turn the chuck one jaw further...

Found out that i need a second fairlead in order to keep the line away from my feet. Drilled a chunk of cast iron: Bored it out: Turned the od down, faced it and put a radius on the inside: Flipped it around and finished the second side: Also cut a flange to mount it: This is how...

Hi Jay, to be honest, i have no idea. What i`m guessing is something about 2000-3000lbs. But you know, weight means traction, right? ;) Welded up the rear ram port and drilled a new one: Tacked the shortened rear mount back on: Tacked the front eye on: Started fabricating the ram...

Ok sorry my "not" friend... It's all mine, payed with my money. And yes it's at home. A little bit (read: ways) to small, but you have to take what you got...

Thanks. Sometimes i should just go the easy way... Noticed that i need to build the front hydraulics first so the winch line does not interfer with it. I reuse some Hägglund parts, but i had to cut some pieces of: While the saw was cutting i cut the steel for the "legs?": Then i milled...

Thanks for the link. I really wish i`d have more time, there`s so much stuff i want to build... First i bought some steel today: Then i finished the pedals: Started building the battery tray: Finished: Got some questions for you guys: Looks like i need a fairlead right in...

Yeah, i luckily noticed it before it was too late... :Wow1:

Well, we`ll see... :ylsmoke: Started building the parking brake lock today: Cut a window in the lever and tacked the line lock on: Reinforced it: Finished: Then i started with the hand throttle: Finished: Then i noticed that i screwed up big time, the brake pedal was...

Sorry Chilli, just got the one on the picture. But i`ll mke sure to hook you up when i order some new patches. :smiley_drive: Burned out some gussets today: Drilled some holes: Punched them bigger: Dimpled it and tacked the gussets on: Mocked it up: Btw, started restoring our old...

Started with the brake pedal today. I`m using an parking brake lever for it. It`ll have a small cable attach that allows me to disengage the lock. So i can use it like a regular brake pedal, but it i disengage the cable the lock will be engaged and there`s no need for a parking brake lever...

Unfortunately the winch will only pull 8 tons... :ylsmoke: Started mounting the pedals today:

Decided to go for it: Looked to wimpy to me. Now i like it better: Tacked on::

I can`t mount it as easily flipped around and a big hole to fit the line through would reduce the strength a lot. Few guys in the german forums wrote they`re running their winches like this without any problems. I calculted the strengt of the bolts, and they`re ways oversized. I just wanted...

Nope, "feet backward". The line goes to the front of the car, away from the mounting plate.
