Do you have to remove the door or what? Any info
would be appriciated. Thanks | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 1,904 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2001 Posts: 1,904 | It was a while ago but I think I removed the door. I know I used contact cement on the gasket and the metal. It hasn't leaked.
Say, a Stovebolter named Tommmy is also from Metairie. My wife and I went to one of your Mardi Gras parades several years ago. Good nice family fun!!

someone has pictures of how to do this job. HELP | | | | | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 331 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 331 | I don't have pictures and I don't think you will find a picture because it is that easy. You should be able to reach in with a pair of neddle nose plyers and pull the old one out without disassembly | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 47 Member | | Member Joined: May 2001 Posts: 47 | its easy as mentioned but I found that the "rubber" gasket doesn't "settle" like the cork gaskets and actually keeps the vent "up" a little. Or it could just be that the parts house sent me the wrong one or it is thicker than its suppose to be??? Either way its easy....If I remember(?) there is a little drain hose that keeps any water from draining into the cab. Be sure its in place. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 | Thanks, I bought a rubber one from American Classic,
hope it fits right. I also bought a new drain hose. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | I dd not remove the door just cleaned out remanents of the old one. I used weather strip adhesive to hold it in. Actually I use weather strip adhesive for a lot of gasket work. | | |
