I made a modification to the fuel filter bracket so that it is easier to remove. Cut the bracket & welded a 1 inch extension so it could be removed 'above floor'.   I'll take the 'non original' points deduct - it's worth it for the convenience.


Chris


Also - unrelated - how do I remove this combing pad? I can't find any fasteners on the back side of the gunnel. I want to recover it this winter.






Thanks

Chris

I like that! Can you get another picture from the front or rear angle?

Sounds like Egon is going to bring his metalworking skills out of retirement!

Chris that combing pad is held on by those christmas tree type fasteners. At least they were on my 89. I like your fuel filter bracket mod.
If you're going through hell, keep going

You are going to have to pry off the pad like a car door panel.

Yup, just take something you can slip between the pad and the gunnel and pry it out. Try and take it out evenly.

Egon - Here is a side view of the bracket.   It is just a bolted lap joint.    My welds are not very pretty, they always look better hidden under paint!



Thanks guys for the advice on the pad - I don't like to pry on something unless I know that is the correct method - have broken too many things in my day assuming this.

Nice job on the bracket Chris. And remember, not all welds need to look pretty, they just need to last.
