I have to apply pressure via the spare tire to open and close mine.

How would one go about disconnecting permanently the fuel hose that goes to the heater? I am concerned that I might have a small fuel leak there, and don't plan on ever using the heater.

Gasoline: Change both gaskets on the fuel tank (fuel pickup and sender). They are cork, but you can make them yourself from a thick inner tube.
Exhaust: If the heat exchanger is shot you should notice the difference when you are blowing hot air into the cabin versus when you are not.

Good question. I've bought some myself because they were missing but haven't installed them. My driver's door used to rattle, but a friend bent it to shape.

From what I understand, the radios and VIC-1 intercom system are bulky and heavy. The radios are useless as Ham, since they were made for the 30-76 Mhz military band. You also need a commercial license to operate them. That said, they really look cool, and if I could get a set I would for that price...

OK, so where do you look?

Maybe you need to earth the fuel sender and get a new speedo wire. Most things in the pinz are easy fixes. Do a search.

OK, so since i couldn't find an appropriate tool to extract the bottle I decided on dropping the tank. Fairly easy, as mentioned. Bonus: finding additionally a spigot that screws on the end of the spare gas can filling tube. This spigot reduces the diameter of the flexible tube and was there rolling...

OK, Shawn, I will do as you recommend and replace the gaskets, thank you. I have yet to find red particles in the fuel filter, but you never know. Good time to give the tank a good wash, too, I guess.

Gentlemen, yesterday as I was about to fill up the tank with gas I dropped the gas treatment plastic container through the tank filler tube (yes, I know you shouldn't do that). I've searched for a description on the operation to take down the tank but have not found one. I can see four bolts holding...

The plate that goes on the floor held a portable petrol generator. The frame that goes on the left is a little wider than the wheel well, and the one that goes on the right is flush with it. That area of my K is unbolted, but I'll take a pic and try to post it this weekend.

Or maybe to scare away the wildlife.

I ordered some parts Tuesday afternoon and I already have them, and I live in Costa Rica and have to go through a forwarder in Miami. Talk about efficiency.

Interesting piece. I'll keep an eye out for one.

Haven't been able to find a SIG semi-auto or even a Steyr, which I understand fit perfectly in the stock brackets and look smashing. And now I have to start looking for the camo balls.
