Been chasing an electrical problem and found burnt connection at the ground connector joint. Jumpered past the connector to confirm that this was the problem and I think this was the solution.
Never noticed this joint/connector until now. 14 pins connecting all of the ground wires together. Has anybody had to replace this? I can't seem to find this exact same part, but have found similar.
Any insight would be appreciated.
My first attempt was the Caddy lights adapted to the stock Drifter light housings. It was easy to mount them, but the end result was not good. The Caddy light is just too much overhung load for the stock light to handle. Over time the plastic/rubber on the light failed and I lost the light.
My second attempt was using Greenbarn's modification. It worked perfectly. The lights and extensions that he recommended were readily available (eBay). The aluminum adapter was easy to make. The only additional step that I took was a modification to the stock bushing that the bolt for the light goes through.
The stock bushing only allows you to tighten the light mounting bolt to the point that it bottoms out on the bushing. This still allowed the light and bushing to pivot within the mount. I found that if I ground off a little of the bushing making it shorter, that you could tighten the bolt enough to compress more of the rubber bushing. This really tightens up the light and keeps it from swiveling under it's own weight.
Many thanks to Greenbarn for figuring out the hard stuff and making it available to us!
What do you want for them? Any pics?
I've been messing with this. I'm not sure I know what you mean. The right side spacer fits no problem, but the seal doesn't fit on the right side. The ID of the hub on the '99 wheel is larger to accommodate the speedo drive. Any pics? I thought about just buying a speedo drive on eBay.
Not sure if I messed up or not. I just bought a front and rear wheel for my 2001 Drifter. I couldn't pass them up because they were beautiful. They guy powder coated them black and they are badass. Anyway, I realize that the 1999 Drifter has a "manual" or "connected" speedo cable and the 2000 and up is electronic. Does anybody know if the 1999 front wheel will work on my 2001?
