1980 K100 Cabover Project/daily runner

I have a recommendation: where the tracking arm bolts to the frame ( passenger side front differential) cut a diamond shaped piece of 1/2" steel plate. Mount it on the outside of the frame. Put two more bolts , on each side of the diamond shaped steel plate. This will prevent the tracking arm from literally breaking through the frame. I have had to make this modification to steel frame KW's as well.

 

Nice ride

 

Your bud wheels should use the what I would call cone shaped lug nuts on the front axle and on the outer rims on the drives . The inner rims are held on with inner nuts that have threads on the inside and outside with a square end to tighten them down .

I know I make it as clear as mud but when you see the inner and outer nuts you will see what i so poorly described.

 

Not to bad at all really, at least not after you get the first one under your belt lol. Mine is a 1995 W900L factory glider. According to the tag I found it has 1993 differentials with AG100 8 bag air ride. I just pulled it out Friday after replacing all 8 bags, bag mounts on top, shocks, brakes, brake chambers, rubber air lines, wheel seals, wheel bearings, S-cams / bushings and seals. Bolts for airbag mounts on mine take a 18MM socket / wrench, bottom of bag is (2) nuts, 3/4" socket for mine. By lifting the frame up about 3 inches above normal ride height, you can get the bag out a lot easier. I will look through my pics and post anything that may help you. All of us are here to help so don't be afraid to ask.

 

This is what Marmonman is speaking of... not trying to invade on you @marmonman just trying to add pics to help.

 

Notice the bottom studs on the left airbag laying on the floor.

 

I used a bottle jack under the hog head to lower the axle after un bolting the top of the airbag, you need a 1 1/8 inch socket for the nut on the inside of the frame where the airline is. CLEAN the threads and add a little WD or something first, bags didn't come with these nuts so take care of them. Actually they don't come with any mounting hardware. Buying 1/2 x 13 nylock nuts will speed up the process .

 

Here is a part # for the air bags.
