Ser II Lightweight 'shorted out' !! shoot me

This experience should also remind everyone that one of the first things mentioned in any automotive instructions when working on nearly anything electrical is - disconnect the battery.

I am one of the worst offenders of this - once had to bring an alternator back 1/2 hour after I bought it. Luckily it was a lifetime warranty that even covers stupidity!

or even not electrical - I was tightening my dizzy clamp after setting timing; dropped the wrench which neatly bridged between the power lead to the starter and the engine block. Fried the solenoid and almost spot welded my wrench in place in the bargain. I now always pull the + cable from the battery every time.

.... I now always pull the + cable from the battery every time.

pulling the neg cable off the battery gives you the same affect with out the risk of sparks that come from a 1/2" wrench bridging from the bat pos post clamp nut to something metal

Here are a few pics of my master switch (it's the thing with the two 0-gage cables attached to it):




Sorry, didn't realize the engine compartment was so dusty. I'll get right on cleaning it.

Is the strap holding your transfer case lever forward a military option? or is it holding your bulkhead back?

That's my RMS (rattle management system). There is a piece of high density foam between the strap and the lever. It holds just enough tension on it to stop that annoying rattle that every one of my Rovers has had (even though the anti-rattle clip has been properly fitted to the lever).

OH... a Mil Spec RMS w/ original high density foam. Bet that set you back a pretty penny.

From now on I'm going to post this video whenever someone posts a thread that could potentially lead to...

Footwell unevenness

Jac04-
I'm rather disturbed by the unevenness in the footwell wall just below the master switch. It suggests the use of the wrong tool to install the master.
Do you feel there may be something you can do to remedy this? It's so much like a crooked pic on a wall of otherwise straight pics. The rest of the installation, and even the engine compartment, seem to be of above mediocre quality. Quite respectable, actually. Photos seem ok too.
