The wires come out of the 1/2 circle plug. If you look inside closely with a flashlight you can see the two retension pins/tangs that you have to push in to remove them. If you can't figure it out post or PM me and I'll find the connector I have and I'll post a pic. I used a small pocket knife to push the tangs in.

Well, yes except the steering stabilizer, exhaust manifold and my Dad's 1950's drill that came from JC Penny's. Or are mocking me for the condition of my workbench/storage unit:lol:

Here is a pic of that plug with 1 wire out, the size of the knife I use to push in the tabs that are visible in the picture. The second picture is just the wire showing the tabs a little clearer. I bent them out a little for clarity.

Hope this helps

Thanks for taking the time, so if I understand this right, the tang that has to be pushed down is on the top side of the connecter

No there is one tang/tab on each side of the metal connector. First push the tab on one side and then push the tab on the other side. It may take a couple of tries.

he said "tang"...



I used JB weld to patch the shifter nub on my rebuild... I don't remember having to pull the harness apart like that but I used a van tilt so it might have been a flat adapter...


are you going to paint or PC the column once done? JB weld holds up to the PC oven if you are.

I've got some stuff called 'Lab Metal', neat stuff, you can machine it once it sets up. I'm still not sure on the paint/PC. I have to fill in the shift indicator lamp hole, dunno how I'm going to fill that yet

The harness has a pinch in it down to the bare wire. Thing is, I have a red four way flasher knob, and I don't think it is right for my truck. My auto. coulumn has a black push/pull thingy and I like it better, so I may be using that if it fits into my tilt

Yeah well, I don't think you have to pull the harness apart either, but it was a steep learning curve:lol:

I used the JB weld putty on both parts...

So that means your post # 629 in this thread will be showing a fish? :lol:

Have a great time Jim, tell the boys hello for me.

Confused #629?

Probably not! 20 years of fishing up there and I only kept one that is hanging on the wall:lol: Of course, if I land a state record, there are very loose interpretation of the rules

Plus the fact that Jonathon gave me a Sage flyrod for Christmas and I have NEVER thrown a fly rod before. But, as you know it's all about hanging out with my sons and nephews

I'll pass it on to the boys, Kurt.! We have a new member to the snowmobiling/fishing trip. He works at Quadratec, so we have to be nice to him

Thanks LKSDCVN

Cool, don't know how you came up with that, but I will take your word on it. I now also carry a web cam, so I may be able to get some action shots, along with the stills

How do you do that? Actually, I m leavin' Wed morning, just thought I'd hang out with use guys for a while

I'm really impressed with the builds that are going on rite now, lots of reading matr'l

Re: PO has me PO'd
 
Snowed from Wed. 5PM to Sun. 11AM...Caught and released 3 fish, my 1 larger, to Jon's 2 smaller:lol: 2 pair of waders failed, so one leg was filled with river water, and freaking cold for 8 hours, but that is fishing in Upstate NY. Dick's sporting goods WILL be dealt with!

The grille on the boat was a pleasant addition, breakfast and lunch on the river

Now back to regular rebuild, after a pause for some pictures

Blew up 2 of the 4 snowmobiles

Sounds like a great week. Looks pretty out there. Must not have been too cold, looks like the snow's WET!

As a former employee of Dick's Sporting goods, my best advice is to go to Cabella's, or Bass Pro Shops, or Sierra Trading Post, or, or, or...

Typical Father Son biannual fishing, just great to be able to fit time into all of my sons busy lives, but I think they get the purpose of these trips. It's all about quality time!

Cold?:lol: just a matter of opinion...if I could have felt my toes, it would've been my enjoyable. And yes the river water was wet

Maybe not Dick's fault, bought a bottom of the line wader made in China, lessen learned

Also my Northface shell failed, so I was wet 2 layers down
Thanks for checkin' in Tynee
