Ya I used nylon bushings at all pivot points and nylon lock nuts so I could set the resistance at each location. It's a real smooth action. It really turned out just as I had envisioned. Not to often that happens lol

So whipped up a gas pedal. Welds arnt the best but I'm learning. Let me know what you guys think. 19 bucks for a adjustable spring door hindge bent hindge plate to set pedal angle welded it to base plate welded on a pedal and some brackets test fit final before installing and...

Well I'm stumped. pulled the engine monted it on the bench and still didn't work. Let it sit for a week. Did nothing different and sure a **** the beast started right up. Motors back in the boat and I'm doing final work with the seat and throttle. Going for a gas pedal!

Here are some pics of the wiring followed by a video Everything spread out Close up.of the replacement buzzer and kill switch

I tried that. Not even a blurp. Starting worry that I messed up the wiring or maybe the timing when I pieced it together.

OK so its no longer an Indiana Jet Jon. About a year ago I was was relocated for work. Now in in South East Michigan. Just started working on the beast again. It's not easy picking up a project you left off from a year ago. Lol. So i got all the hacked up wiring figured out. I think. Was...

Looks like a rocket. I've got a line on a Polaris 1200 I wanna put in a 1648 this winter. I'm excited to see how yours turns out. Good luck.

OK so had some more time this weekend to fab up the controls. I modified a 90's reverse bracket to work on a 90 deg angle and mounted it under the seat. I also fabbed up a steering lever. It turned out good for just being random hardware parts. I use nylon washers in either side of the lever to...

I was thinking about that. Had a question on how the fuel pump come into play. It that hockey puck shaped thing with 3 hoses off of it.

Its been a while but here is my progress Fiberglassed the pump Painted Mocked up

Ya that's my 1981 DMC 12. Very fun to drive.

Thanks tom. Just started with spraying spray foam in the voids. After it hardens I'll shave it down to the shape I want the fiberglass to be. I've learned the hard way you just need to walk away and let that stuff harden or you'll have a big mess trimming it. I have some holes in the...

Going to start fiberglassing today. I've never done it before. Any hints or tricks I should know?

Thanks for the comments on the car. I've had it since I was 14. Not fast but man is it cool and fun to drive. OK so did about 20 test fits with new hoist system. Works very well. Made a short video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp8gKfMo2yo Tried to video the whole install from that view...

Its kind of off topic but here's the electric hoits I put together to save the spine. I uses a round rail that's normally used for barn doors with a 600 lb capacity Lag bolted 4x4 blocks between the 2x6 truss members then lag bolted the round rail to it Then i took a harbor freight 440/880 lb...

Thanks guys Tom- my plan is to glass the whole rear section in from one side to the other. Unfortunately I got side tracked this week. Got tired of lifting the pump and motor in and out of the Jon so I had to build a overhead winch system. I should be bolting down and fiberglassing by the weekend.

thanks. on this area I feel its important to buy the right stuff. I will be buying the 5200 tomorrow. honestly i have realized if i want this to work and look the way i want it i will have to forget the budget lol

Thanks for the sealant advise guys picked up a reverse gate from a 95 seadoo. Direct bolt up

So I cut down the ski haul and made my cuts in the jon. Lots and lots of test fits. Build a new transom that was trimmed to fit the pump. Bolted it up for a test fit before I seal her up for good Any suggestions on what to use as a sealant. I was going to use liquid nails heavy duty and...

Well about 2 months ago I started I budget jet jon build. I started with a non working 90' seadoo with a swapped 89' 587 (didn't know that at the time) Tore down the motor and did a top end rebuild. The guy before me must have let the engine bay fill full of water (saw water line inside the ski...
