Saturday afternoon install and small rust fix
Hi!
I had a chance to see Markus Sucro last weekend and he brought along one of his relay kits for me. I installed it today without a problem. Only thing I should have down, is to route the wires behind the fuse block. I also was not ready to drill two holes to mount the relays, so I used some strong 2 sided tape for now. I also removed the tank of a battery to clean up some rust from an earlier battery that exploded. There is still some residual powder that I have to get rid of, but it was neutralized a while ago and does not seem to be a problem. I am unsure if there used to be a smaller hole in the fender for the battery vent, but there is a hole there now that had been rusting for some time. I cleaned the surrounding area and sprayed some flat black Rustoleum over the affected area. There are a few smaller spots above the positive terminal, but again, they seem stable right now and have been there few at least 10 years. Some pictures I took. I forgot to take the after pics ![]() Dave Looks like this was made in 1883, not 1983 ![]() Battery back in place, bracket cleaned up with wire wheel and sand paper, then sprayed with Rustoleum. ![]() Hole behind battery. Was this smaller at one time? I forgot to take a picture after I sprayed it. ![]() Relays installed. ![]() Zip tied and fuse cover in place. Not bad. ![]() Next project is to replace the valve cover gaskets (again. Started leaking after a day at Willow) with silicon gaskets, change the oil filter and oil as well. Oh, replace the rubber rings in the oil return tubes. Always a good time getting dirty with the 911 Dave ![]()
