and we got ourselves, one finger power steering, completely CANable Free simply works in fail safe mode, (I believe this means the assist is the same regardless of vehicle speed as opposed to being progressively less as the speed increases in an actual Prius, oh well we'll take it)

learned how to wire it up from this video


Electric Power Steering on my Dune Buggy for $75??

You’ve been to my house before 😂

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

are you for real, remind me, I am so sorry

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You must not be wearing a mask when you paint 😂 You dropped off a bumper for me on your way back from visiting your kid in San Jose.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Yes yes I did Mr. I Have More Trucks Than You, so sorry I totally remember now

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

the fender bolts come in two sizes, small, and these 3/8"-16 thread size x 1 1/2" long

so after hours and hours of cleaning, wire wheeling, and media blasting the originals, I decided to paint them with my wallet

thank you Batman!

whoa, out the door it ended up being $38 bones, shoot I assumed free shipping, AMAZON strikes again!!!

holler at me if you need one I'll sent it to you for FREE you just pay the shipping

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You’re making great progress. I thought you were joking about the bracket you cobbled together for the electric power steering, but once you mounted it then I realized it was legit.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thanks, yeah it's a bit too fugly for even Good Enuff Garage standards so I plan on massaging it a bit, but it has to look that wonkey in ordrer to clear everything down there - and honestly can you tell me what your standard power steering pump bracket looks like, lol probably not right off hand as it is buried in there as well

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

life mates, let me know if you agree, sometimes when you're working on a project it don't matter what you do as long as you work on something, especially when everything needs doin'

so what do you all call this contraption?

A. parking brake

2. emergency brake

or C. what is it?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

rusty hood latch

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You're getting pretty close to it.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

The rule seems to be:

"If I touch it, then it's getting refinished."

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Happy anniversary, Gregski! Have fun celebrating!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Happy anniversary! My parents are celebrating their 62nd today. What did she see in you?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Im confused is she your ex fiance because she became your wife (weird way of putting it, but you have some weird ways lol), or is this someone that left you at the alter?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

powder coated door striker plates ( think the weird one that's just glare it powder coated nice and even )

not sure if burning off the excess oil off them spacers was a wise choice, they were perfect black(ish) in color before I done did that

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

the hood hinge Spreaderator 3000

media blastin' and powder coatin' friendly

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I like it. When I painted my hood springs, they were collapsed, so of course the paint is only on the outer portions of the coils.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You will probably run into the Faraday Effect when powdering the spring. The tight variance between the springs will make it so that the powder has trouble sticking. You may want to consider Hot Flocking the spring (shoot the powder when the part is hot) this will allow for the tight spaces to get covered with powder. Just a suggestion. Enjoy!
