mrdjflores,
Glad you are getting some work done. Like stated by oop's, the routing depends on the location of your pump. Mine just came out into the engine bay and over to the pump they weren't attached anywhere but the pump.
Not sure this is going to help but I hope it gives you some ideas.
Take care and keep it rolling.
Bob

PS. I can take some pics or the lines on the donor boat this weekend if you want.

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

well...haven't done much to the ol girl for awhile, she's sitting in the backyard, covered up for the winter. Would love to find someplace close by that i can store her indoors, but yet, would still allow me to work on her...

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

thanks for the encouragement...the ol girl did get moved around this weekend....needed to cut the grass under the trailer....
while i was at it, decided to uncover her from her winter slumber...all looked good inside...was expecting to see indications that some critters decided to turn her into their winter home...but again, all looking good....needs some clean up from being stored...
been going through my list of things to do, and keep having to rearrange the order of things...

will finish cleaning her up tonight and post some recent pics...

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

well...did some cleaning and started painting the back of the cap.....

 

[mrdjflores]

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

dont know if you can tell much from the previous picture...but i built a new console and rearranged the gauges and throttle control...also moved steering wheel lower, so the guages will be above the wheel....

still trying to get those side windows out....

 

[oops!]

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

man she looks pretty....

arent the side windows a 2 part inside out side flange?

and yes....i did see the console......im encouraged !

 

[mrdjflores]

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

the side windows go completely in from the outside, there is no flange or anything on the inside

 

[mrdjflores]

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

painting and staining...

got one side window out....painted more on the cap...
also started some staining...

you can see some of the new paint on the right side, where it is shiny

here is the ski platform with the first coat of Mahogany stain..still need to sand it and put another coat on..

 

[mrdjflores]

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto

finished up most of the other wood trim last night...sand, stain, seal.....the satin finish poly really helped bring out some of the red in the stain....

Re: 1973 SRV 220 OV Resto
