I also cut the end off of that horrid splice. And replaced it with a proper one...
Next up I'm going to do some interior work...
Holy **** that was one ugly cord! I can't stand seeing that gauge cord with regular electrical tape around it, it should have heavy-duty heat shrink tube around it.
Be careful with interior work, one small project turns into a gutted rig, LOL! Ask me how I know. :)
Yesterday I ordered everything I need to get the Monaco mobile again. New fuel hoses, vent hoses, all new brake parts (booster, M/C, calipers, cylinders, pads, shoes, hoses, copper washers), except the rotors and drums, which I'll have turned. I'm hoping that, with 58,xxx miles, there'll still be enough meat on them. I also got the correct Mopar 185° thermostat, heater hoses & exhaust manifold gaskets.
If anyone is interested, here are the correct part numbers for the MB300:
Mopar 185° Thermostat - 3512998/4131239
Power Brake Booster - Cardone 54-73121
Brake Master Cylinder - Cardone 13-1339
Right Brake Caliper - Cardone 184073S
Left Brake Caliper - Cardone 184074S
Front Brake Pads - Bendix MKD86FM
Right Brake Cylinder - AC Delco 18E855
Left Brake Cylinder - AC Delco 18E889
Rear Brake Shoes - AC Delco 17314R
Front Brake Hoses - Raybestos BH36718
Rear Center Brake Hose - Raybestos BH36963
Exhaust Manifold Gaskets - Fel-Pro MS90460
Heater Hose, 1/2" x 6' - Dayco 80291
Heater Hose, 5/8" x 6' - Dayco 80292
I still have to do the suspension, which needs to be completely redone front & rear...coils/leaf-springs and all rubber bushings. So, while it'll be mobile, it's not going on the road, until I get that done. Then it's re-installation of the new black tank/PVC fittings, new toilet, new windshield and she's ready for the road again!
