It's good to have it finished....Thanks, Tracy. It's good to have it finished. Being employed to help pay for it sounds good -- it's almost a year of the cruising budget, but it surely is nice to have. It's unbelieveably quiet and smooth compared to the Volvo, and I'm sure yours will be better, being a 4 cylinder.<br /><br />It's hard to tell what Volvo did with the brackets. Apparently, they had several different versions, because these don't look to have been aftermarket fabrications.<br /><br />Let me know if you want pictures of the Volvo in the next day or two. It's on a pallet in the yard here. Drop me an email at playactor@att.net with a return email address if you want, and I'll go snap a few, although yours may well be different. I built the beds about an inch low on purpose and cut shims to fit under the mounts, on the theory that if it's too short, you can splice it, but if it's too long, you're out of luck.Bud and Leslie Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393167068190291382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488085447668186934.post-34078924974135754032011-03-04T05:24:27.973-08:002011-03-04T05:24:27.973-08:00Congratulations - great job!
I will either haul ...Congratulations - great job! <br /><br />I will either haul my boat to replace the MD17 either this weekend or next. I'm trying to figure out if your rear mounts are different than mine. From the photos in your blog, they seem to go up to the bed mounts more than mine do, but it's very difficult to tell for sure. I'm trying to determine if I will have the same surprise that you had...<br /><br />I'm installing a 4JH5E in a Cascade 42. Unfortunately, I'm not retired, so it will take me longer. But fortunately, being employed helps me pay for it all!Shadowfaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124205689839840775noreply@blogger.com
