Thanks Doug, still plugging along

ever so slowly

HEY TYNEE, what kinda shape is the external voltage regulator in??? Doesn't have to work, just need the cover to be rust free

Finally got a couple hours to play with the Jimmy, after all the picnics, and annual family fishing trip!

Cut the bottom off the external voltage regulator and used #10 SS panhead 1/2" screws to mount the cover

Found a nice grounding strap in the HELP section, don't know why that bolt was there in the frame, everything else is riveted, but it worked for a grounding location. Now I feel a little safer continuing on with the electrical hookups

Nice idea to put the notch in the battery box, makes for better access

put a piece of rubber hose I sliced on the core support to act as a bumper for the wiring harness. It was tight up against it

Getting closer, still have to bolt up the outside windshield mounts
