Re: PO has me PO'd

Original frame was a little short, so I shifted the new frame a little so that the hole would be complete

That was. a bad pic, so here's another, I had to bend over a alignment tab, I'll have wait to see if it causes a problem

Re: PO has me PO'd

My clecos were just a little to small to grab the hole on the channel so I backed them up with some small washers

Re: PO has me PO'd

This was my set up, hardest part was getting rivets thru the frame and gasket, tight tolerance, used a small file to open up the hole a little. Best method was to hold rivet with needle nose pliers

Used some flat stock as a backing plate clamped in vise

This is a bit of a tedious task, but if you hold the backside of the gasket up, you can work the front edge up and into the groove, with windex to make it slippery

Re: PO has me PO'd

Received my door locks from Leon( locdoc), what a good member, included paws and clips at no extra price, not included in the original sale
Even marked them "D" and "P", so I couldn't screw that up.
If you need help with locks, he is the go to guy, thanks for the help

Got the gasket installed a little,patience,patience

It is the second groove that has to go in the channel, it's up by the vent widow frame

I use tie wraps to fight gravity

Re: PO has me PO'd

Got some more gasket installed, down to the corner, hard part was getting past the bracket for the vent window, you can’t use the sane angle of your push tool, so you have to get both ends started and then push straight down, and hope it grabs, found out that is easier to rotate frame in vise to get the best working position on gasket along with a clamp,of your own design, to keep the gasket in place

Liberal amounts of windex, and gallons of patience

Re: PO has me PO'd

Yesterday was a total fail trying to get the curved part of the gasket to seat, so I changed up, and attacked it from the gasket end, hoping the curve will fall in place,which it did. Most of the curve is in place, just have to change up the tool as it is too wide to seat the gasket in the curved area

This clamp was invaluable in keeping gasket in place
My plan is to let the windex dry, and grind down an old screwdriver and try tomorrow

Made a brass shoe to keep pressure on the curved area, easier to get the seal in

Yes, exactly, we go wheeling near smoking pa, and it is rather tight on some of the trails
