Re: Jim's 1969 Custom/20

EVEN MORE MISCELLANEOUS FIXITS (5 OF 5)

-Cleaned the horn contact surfaces in the steering wheel-
Pressing the horn button didn’t always result in a honk. After I cleaned all the rust off and got all the dirt out, it worked fine. The single horn sounds a little wimpy to me so maybe I’ll install duals or something louder in the future to get more robust truck-like HONK !

-Repaired the turn signal lever-
The turn signal lever was real looseygoosey. Turned out the plastic was cracked where the lever screw threads into the unit. I epoxied the screw hole and lever contact surface and then screwed down the lever. I got much firmer action afterwards.

I got a lot of stuff done on this truck in the past few weeks. I just ordered a new CST-style seat cover but it won't be here for a month or so. I'm still looking at steering wheels trying to decide WTF I want to do. Other that that, all is well, I drive this thing all over the place now.

Thanks for reading and keep on truckin'.
