My Yaris is the same way.... I've had to change the damn bulbs in it twice already. The Silverstar Ultras died, classically, just past a year.

I just let it pivot on the bottom, LOL.... I freaking LOVE my LED lights in my garage, BTW. I have 4 of them, and I need MOAR.



I'm kind of hoping that they were burning out because this plug was so awful.... I did replace it though.

How hard that must of been for Makuloco presenting it....he's a moralistically fair good guy, must of been tough for sure. Well, he might of been able to change it quickly, but some of that stuff he removed can give you a hell of a time lol.

Connector looks like a nasty lol. Jeezz what a pain in the butt. At one time I thought the F150's were tough, actually cracked the grill on 98 loosing patience,that ticked me off...served me right though for rushing it.

Correct, 3/8 NPT.

Just got done fitting the fuel rails..... I think I am going to buy a little smaller clamps, or do a different style.

Changing the columns also turned out to be a problem. The coupler needs an ujoint, and the MT one does not fit the AT end. Both truck made in 76, in San Jose CA. and are 8900 off in VIN. We found the front diff to be different styles. One a D6TA and the other a D3TA. Big difference. The latter uses wiper seals, and the D6 uses hard seals.
Ha surprised and yet not surprised... working on these dentsides I have learned NOTHING is as it seems. Even simple nuance things can trip you up and annoy the hell outta you lol. I'm trying to stay positive with my Build but it just seems like there's more roadblocks than progress

I have some NOS wiper seals for one of those late 70's early 80's front diffs. I've got quite a bit of stuff from that era.... but mostly cars.

What about using some push-lok hose? HERE is a thread on Corral with some suggestions when I was considering replacing my crossover.

EDIT: Have you considered going to a set of 94/95 rails in case you decide to add (significant) HP in the future?

White if you have a drill press, a 9/16 drill and a 3/8 npt tap and you can copy that fitting you want. Just put three washers on the sensor and run the tap in a little at a time until the sensor tightens up on the washer.
