I am just finishing up installing my rebel 9+3 also. It sure has made life much easier with my limited wiring experience.[cl

I'm in the wiring phase of my rat rod and I can't find out any information off hand on the minimum main battery cable wire size to the starter I can use. It would be a 6 foot run from battery to starter. I'm running a small chevy v6 with electric cooling fan and minimal accessories.:confused:

Hey Mac, if you choose to use a Chevy 60 degree v6, this is how one could look all cleaned up with the bolt on goodies! This one is on my EZGO golf car rat.

Really nice body work zzrodder! Heres a few pic on my EZGO golf car rat rod. Its still not running, but getting close. The engine is a chevy 2.8 v6 with th350 trans. I'm at the point where I have to do some side work to get the extra money to spend more to finish the project.

If you use the search function and type in EZGO rat roadster project there are some old mock up pictures of the build. It has come along way in 4 years of tinkering with it and I am wiring it up now. I will have to post pics of what it looks like all painted up and assembled.

I'm building a EZGO golf car roadster pickup myself. Its got a chevy 2.8 v6 with th350 trans and 10 bolt rear end. It's nearing completion and I will post photos here soon also. Great job on your build keep up the good work.

The catalogues I was looking through showed all senders must be purchased separately and often doubling the cost of the gauge. I was just trying to save a few bucks as work has been slow and money is getting tight to finish this build. The low cost gauges at O'reilly's come with a sender but I...

I'm running an 1987 chevy v6 in my RPU and its time to wire it all up. Any brand aftermarket gauges that will work with the factory water temp sender and oil pressure sender? Thanks, Jim.

I'm building my gas tank from a clean used 7-1/2 gallon portable air tank. It will be exposed in the bed of my RPU. Whay type of paint will be gas resistant from sloshes and spillovers? I prefer something from a rattle can if possible. Thanks.

It's time to choose a wiring harness kit for my RPU and I know there are several good pre-made harness kits out there to choose from. Mr. Roadster harnesses seem to have good reviews. Like most people I am looking for the best bang for my buck. Speedway Motors has been a good source for my hot...

Thanks for the info. I swung by NAPA today and bought a tube of Permatex high pressure/high heat thread sealer for automotive use. Now I can get crack'in.[cl

I bought them from the Speedway Motors catalogue and I looked at other vendors to see if they had them with the 3/16" flare end, but they were 1/8" female pipe thread also. I went ahead and bought them with adapters for 3/16" flare. I guess I will try the Locktite sealer and not use teflon...

Cool bobber bike!:D

I'm starting the plumbing for the brakes on my RPU and the residual valves are 1/8" pipe threads and I am using adapters get back to 3/16" flare. So I am reading different answers on the internet on what proper sealant should be used on pipe threads in a hydraulic brake system. Any Ideas?:confused:

Its funny that their big excuse from not allowing the West Coast Kustoms to throw the big cruise and show is some of the people drank too much and stumbled around in public. But on the other hand they promote Wine Festivals where EVERYBODY drinks and lots of people stumble around! Quite the...
