Just got my 1942 white with quad 50’s, got tags on her but am nervous on the road without extended side mirrors, anyone have any options? Impossible to see anything without? Also around the front window frame the bolts right ending each bolt is a small round “puck” any experience of removing them so i can take the nut and bolt out to sue the holes to mount side mirrors. Thanks Paul

actually I have every single Halftrack manual from base shop data to all the 2700s, and not a single one of them says anything about
going from the battery box to the J-box, no wire size no conduit type nothing. just a vague drawing in the schematic.
and having gone through every picture posted on the interwebs, Ive decided to just go with a Pair of #4 welding wire, in 3/4 flex to the first box
hopefully that's enough to run both radios. on the crossover Ill use two number 6 in 3/4 flex.
I wont try to do the bonding to frame, to much room for error. a direct ground back to the battery is way more secure

Additional photos, I couldn’t find my feeler gauges however I could slip a piece of card into the gap. I’ve no doubt it has all been machined, it’s just that gap that gives me concern.

It’s a large enough gap that my attention was immediately drawn to it and the ring.
I’ll attach the original photo. If I had to guess (I will try and get some feeler gauges on it) I would say it’s at least 40 thou.

It's a pretty grainy picture but I wouldn't expect to see that much of the ring. How much clearance would you guess you have between the piston and cylinder?

I’ve bought a French refurb engine and decided to give it a check over to be sure it’s not deteriorated since the 60s.
Externally it has some minor surface rust and has a damaged distributor cap but I thought I should take the head off to check the bores are good and there’s no foreign objects that have appeared over the last 60 years.
It looked good, a bit dirty where I guess it has a post build test run, but the cylinder walls are shiny and no marks anywhere, but then I noticed I could see the top piston ring between the piston crown and the wall. I’ve never seen this before and feel it’s far too much to be clearance. The pistons are plus 30 and I’m wondering if it’s got the wrong size fitted, even though it’s obvious run. I’ll attach a photo so you can see for yourselves (red arrow pointing to gap in ring). Is this normal?
