To get the best results I took everything apart as much as I could. When it came time to put things back together I had a little problem with the pins that hold the vent window latches together. I think I used a small nail or maybe some welding rod, but whatever I used has fallen out. In the photo below I have circle the parts that need to be pinned together. [image: Hardtop vent window.jpg] So my question is, what is the "right" way to do this. Like I said, I tried something like a nail or welding rod but whenever I tried to peen over the ends, the pin would buckle in the middle. I tried using a press and tapping with a small hammer.

The spacer also looks like it is nickel plated, nickel plate is less expensive than chrome.

Any suggestions out there? ? See attached photos: _ Below is the same type overflow tank I'm using. The inlet line is 1/4 inch.? ? The photo below shows my radiator with a 3/8 inch overflow nipple to the right of the filler cap. I was hoping I could mount a 90 degree elbow to the inlet on the bottom of my overflow tank, then route the overflow tube under the radiator, then up the right side of the radiator to the overflow nipple. Turns out the elbow I bought is made of rubber so it just slips loose from the fittings. Tried to clamp it down and it still slips loose.? ? Any suggestions on how I can get from 3/8 inch hose to 1/4 inch hose? ? TIA, ? Dan Eiland?

Have already tested to see if a compression fitting will work and it does. As soon as the fitting comes in I can finish that up. In the mean time I installed the trinary switch and finished installing the air conditioning hoses. So now the ac hoses run from the firewall fittings to the compressor and to the drier and condenser. Next, I'm going to install my accusump and oil cooler and run the oil lines. I have to install the remote oil filter holder also. Had to remove my air filter housing to make it easier to access everything.?
