As I am stepping through the process I have to make small modifications to the parts. Here I have made a few relief cuts in the forward mounting block in order to give clearance to existing rivets in forward firewall angles that the battery mount tube will rest upon and bolt to. So I removed the block after marking where to put the relief cuts and modified the block.
While I was working in Florida my wife informed me that my retread tires were delivered. They look good with deep treads.....so we will see how they perform.....someday ha!
