what have you wrenched on your bronco(s) today?
Got the Head light harness made up with 2 relays and installed while I was at it I put a relay on the Horn circuit as well. Now to run to town and get the wheel cylinders.

So I changed the oil in the Bronco. Every five or six years should be enough. Can't remember the last time I actually changed it. Filter was a little resistant to change after all this time as it seemed to have become one with the block. I won. Radiator flushed a couple weeks ago and new coolant added so the insides are nice and green. Making progress. Maybe some air in the tires next.
See you all next weekend. Weather looks good from the crystal ball on the 10 day prediction. 0 precip for Fri/Sat.
Put the bed cover back on, too. Thinking pop-up camper-thingy-all-in-one.

Well today I put the seats, seat belts both fenders and grill on. Put the steering colum back in had to unseize my collapsible lower linkage to the steering box. Finished welding the shock res mounts on the hoops. Painted everything all up. Mounted the winch. At least it looks like a bronco again [Image: 7adf351ba1ab4a3b7e63dd377bfbf8ba.jpg]
Tomorrow I have to get the shock charged with nitrogen then put the dash back in and start it up.

Also I have to find a new inner cable for my bc(lol car) throttle cable. Mines to short after the end of the cable frayed. It's .06" in diameter any thoughts on where to get one?

Do you know anyone who races go karts or have a kart shop local. Motorcycle Throttle cable may work also.? Sounds like about the right size to me.
I bought some small cable at Tractor supply last year to use on a deer hauling cart and if I remember right they had some a lil smaller than what i used and it would be about that size also.

I gonna try a bike shop aplenty by cycle brake cables are 1.5 mm in diameter which is roughly the same size as the bc broncos throttle cable at .060 inches. But I will try the motorcycle shop after if this doesn't work.
