I have two functional crystal lite blinds (Left Rear, Left Front) that I thought I'd see if anyone is interested in before I modify them and delete the motors because I want to install a roof fan / no point in only have two functional. $300 CAD for the pair? Located in Victoria BC. They seem...

Thank You. It appeared to me (incorrectly) that the jam nuts were a part of the coupler. Shortened the upper rod, but the lower rod doesn't appear to want to budge. Maybe just need more penetrating oil/heat ...

I was trying to adjust my actuator, but the coupling nut that joins the two rods rotates the whole rod/nut assembly. The upper rod that goes into the actuator/diaphragm can rotate 360 degrees and beyond. I tried holding the upper rod in place with vice grips, but still couldn't get the coupling...

Finally getting around to sealing my van's front corner panel "cheeks" as per above. I'm wondering if ... after brushing/scraping the old sealer away ... there is still a bit of light rust, but rustier than most I'm seeing here. Not enough to poke a hole through, but I was thinking of using some...

I got a few of those off SpareKorea (263304A001) and posted elsewhere on the forum wondering about some measurements ... does it filter as well as a WIX or OEM filter? No idea. But I've had no noticeable oil loss or obvious drips from the oil filter specifically ... although coincidentally (or...

I think it's pretty pointless to intentionally delete a functional balance belt because once you're in there replacing other stuff in the timing,etc. the balance belt is minor extra steps. The "extra failure point" theory assumes you ignore the balance belt regularly when doing your 40,000 -...

I had to do the same, but it took a couple half moons (I had extras) to get the fit right. I took material off the curved part not just the top. I used sandpaper and checked fit often (make sure you clean the abrasive debris off first). When I replaced the cylinder head it fit fine with no mods...

IIRC LH/RH drive differ slightly, but the blower motor is held in with 3 phillips/hex screws/bolts (that thread into plastic and therefore be careful). Those bolts are accessed beneath the steering column to the left (if RHD). Behind the "deadpedal" and a bunch of wires and cables controlling...

The looped lines are slightly in the way of mounting my water tank (might abrade the hose and/or tank over time). I took a look at bypassing the heater hose/heater pipe connections "T's" underneath/beside the injection pump/starter area on the LH side of engine bay, but yes ... nightmare to...

Put your frame number into this: https://mitsubishi.epc-data.com/ It's definitely possible to source the parts via napa/rockauto, but the OEM part number makes it a ton simpler to source with certainty. Unless your other side is in good condition and there was some kind of freak accident with...

Inspired by this long-time-ago thread on MDOCUK I removed my front evaporator today. Instead of fabricating a new ducting system I simply removed my dirt clogged evaporator and reinstalled the cooling unit box empty (with a few holes plugged with duct tape) and some duct tape over the rubber...

I got a couple of rust holes in my frame where the extra layers of metal from the rear upper bump stops attach to the frame rail. I was preparing to paint the area, but decided to do the proper thing and tap it lightly with a hammer which resulted in the holes and a bunch of rust flakes that I...

Alright I got it swapped over. It was definitely "tricky" to get the needle aligned, but not impossible. I think I learned what I did to break the old one - attempt to adjust the needle with it installed on the tach. Don't do that. Instead with the needle removed (necessary in the first place...

Nice! I'm wondering if one wanted to upgrade a 75A alternator to 100A/150A is that modification done to the stator, or does it include a different rectifier also? Also wondering if the kit you're offering is compatible with 1989-1999 Delicas (internals are the same, but the housing and such...

I'm transferring a tachometer into my dash cluster also. I'm wondering how tricky it was to re-align the needle? I confirmed that the new-to-me tachometer works, by plugging it into my van, but it's a MT cluster whereas my van is AT. The Gauges are the same part for both AT/MT, but the circuit...
