Default Getting back seat upgrades finally installed.

I upgraded my stop light switch to newer style plunger switch. I purchased a 1993 pedal assemble with the factory push in switch bracket. Mines 5 speed so I switched the pedals over to 1993 pedal housing which are exactly the same just pedal from automatic and stick are different sizes. I cut the factory renix plug for the switch in half and stuck one end on each side of new switch. If this is done at same time as booster upgrade it will eliminate the drilling and cutting of flat spot on new booster rod.

Cruiser just found a way to wire up a newer style switch with the booster upgrade as well.

Looks like you're almost ready to ride again.

As for me, valve broke in my MJ so got to take the cyl head off and assess the damage. If not too bad, I'll re-seat and add stainless valves instead.

Well, taking the MJ off the road this weekend to disassemble and assess the damage. If I'm lucky, a head rebuild and some camshaft timing.

He's a great guy and my door is always open to him any time he's in town.

If he ever ventures down south, y'all help him out!

He's a moderate here, and a WEALTH of knowledge on RENIX Jeeps and lots of other Chrysler/AMC vehicles of the era.
