UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE!!!

After much searching, I found the oem company that actually made all these oem psnels
, they of course have no parts but directed me to this company.

Accessories





They have the EL lights too!!
Now the question is, go with them since they do this. The sales person says that they would replace any or all of our panels, gauges etc. each person can contact Mac, he says to email him the pics of which panels you want to replace. So what say you all?

Just got off the phone with Mac, the cost to remake the AC panel with the EL illumination lights is 75.00! I think that's a pretty good deal. I just sent pics of all my panels and will talk to him shortly.

He told me someone else from the forum called him already too

Nice detective work!

Keep us posted as to price, availability and quality.
I am still leaning towards woodgrain, but spring will be here soon and may just
say screw it and hit the road.

Need switch wiring help

Can someone please post a pic of the rocker switch colors for the Gen, Gen preheat & radio.
There are two wires that I can't figure out. The wires are black and brown but I can't remember if they go to the generator or preheat switch. Can someone please help?

Thanks

So does this mean you purchased some panels from "Mac" at Custom Instrument panels.

If so, I need some details and pics of the product.

Please share!

Ok guys and gals, I just received my new panels from Mac. They look to be well made, the one issue is that he was not able to provide the color artwork as shown in the pic. I will have to figure that out on my own if it is to look exact. Mac did explain that to me prior to cutting the panels.

I had 5 parts cut, cost was $236.50 shipped. Only took about there days to turn around.

Hey guys I drew up what we could use as a silk screen to overlay onto the new panels that Mac cut for me. Now the color portion is great but my cad program shows white colors as black on my screen. I would like some ideas on getting a decal of some kind made so I could add the graphics to the panel.




This last pic shows the flat piece under the radio, I am going to install a coffee cup holder in that panel

About a year ago I replaced the crankshaft seal due to an oil leak and thought that I had it fixed. Apparently that wasn't it. I finally found it by getting the wife to rev the engine while I watched and saw a pretty good leak from between the gear housing and the engine block. I guess the oil slinging off the gears at higher RPMs made it show up.
So I got out the drum fan to stay cool and proceeded taking it apart. Bumper off, batteries out, battery box out, frame crossmember out, AC compressor off, vibration damper off, gear cover off, bar engine to TDC, pulled injection pump gear, air filter off, air tube from CAC disconnected and moved out of the way, rocker cover off, rockers off, pushrods removed, 1/2 inch wood dowels and rubber bands to hold up tappets, removed camshaft, drank beer, injector pump nuts between the pump and block are a booger but the good thing is that the inj pump and air compressor didn't have to come off even though they bolt on to the gear housing. The cam gear and the inj pump gear are the only ones that have to be removed to get the gear housing off. I replaced the gear housing gasket, the O-ring on inj pump and the air compressor gasket. I also removed the oil pan and replaced it's gasket since it overlaps the bottom of the gear housing.
Then I put it all back together. (Pump timing, valve lash, etc)
I recently saw an American Coach on the side of I-20 so I stopped to see if they needed help. Part of their throttle linkage had broken so they had nothing but idle. Having seen this, I decided to check mine while I was crawling all over the engine anyway and I found a worn part that was ready to fail. There is a small threaded rod with small ball joint ends that connects to the injector pump throttle and one of these ball joints was so worn that it came apart when I touched it.
I went for a spin today and crawled underneath and everything is still dry. I hope I got it fixed this time.
