    That’s the downside to playing fleet wrench serving the unknowing and couldn’t care less steering wheel holders there is no appreciation for any work done only thing they notice is how well the radio works.

    Well after a few videos I find out the light bar doesn't need a controller. It's all integrated. Thank God for YouTube some days..

    The way I show my appreciation for them is to not tear up the equipment, actually have a legitimate issue when I go to the shop, and say thank you when I have to get a light or a tire fixed on the way out because some idiot couldn’t be bothered to do a post trip the day before.

    To this.
    Support for the fuel line that goes to the front of the head.
    This mechanical N-14 only had a single fuel line feeding into the rear head.
    I got a Pittsburgh Power dual fuel line kit, and 6 months in the pump end of the front line cracked at the flare. Modified it, and 2 months later the head end cracked at the flare.
    Pittsburgh says, “Oh, it is supposed to be supported.”
    Nice to know, but nothing was included in the original kit to support it.
    Buy a new line (no warranty on the original one), but it’s the wrong line.
    Finally get the correct line, and this is my solution to support it.

    IMG_1331.jpeg Fuel line, fuel line bracket, fan hub assembly, belts, fan (9 blade versus the old cracked up 6 blade) and new fan shroud back on.
    We’ll keep pecking away at it in the evening next week.
    Don’t worry, all the bolts will get put in on the fan shroud, but the missing ones are for the a/c line clamps.
