Upgrades

Lately I’ve installed some non-essentials and creature comforts.

--Installed a hot start relay. It works, and band-aid or not I like it. No more embarrassing trips under the bus with a screwdriver in hand after a 45 minute drive.

--Installed an electric washer pump since my bottle wouldn’t hold pressure and it sounded like a fun project. It was, and it works nicely.  The pump, from one of the FLAPS...


And the basic install instructions...

--Bought and installed 3 point retractable seat belts. Should have done this first thing.

--Got in on the H4 deal from Bus Depot and installed those. I have before and after pics, they are very much like Richard Atwell’s so I won’t bother posting them but the difference is definitely noticeable.

--New hubcaps, the cheapy babymoon ones from Bus Depot. I like the way they look. I’m going to buy more since they like to come off at high speeds and fly around the highway like shiny death orbs.
