Upside down.

Gauge install is overrated!

Screwdriver handle.

No place for a screwdriver???

Not anymore. We welded
A Phillips head to one of the door bar t-handles.

New front reservoir mounts

Orignally, we made only the rear mounts.

Upon a test drive, the zip tie broke and the reservoir almost came off.

Zip ties are great, but not perfect.
