Hi, How did you go? Anti clockwise off, clockwise on.

@keithb4158 that's a good comment and valid point. I don't own one but my brother does, so I could have grabbed it. I've seen some people use various torque wrenches for every nut and bolt they tighten.

Thanks for watching. Where are you located

Hi There, thanks for watching my video and bringing a good question to my attention. I'm not sure if there is a single DIN version, although you could search the www.japanparts.com website and see what is available. Could you still use a double DIN dash pod but use half for a stereo and half for something else? The original location of the radio is now being used for accessory switches for lights and UHF radio etc. I also 3D printed a tray under the switches to put my mobile phone in. It is still a work in progress.

That's a good question. The two plastic components don't need screws, they push or click into place. The metal brackets needed screws to mount into position. From memory I used larger gauge self tapping screws in the two front bracket holes. I had some already in my garage. The rear holes were a bit more tricky because the holes were larger and I needed something for the screws to attach to. I used some clips behind the hole for the screws to screw into. I must have purchased them from an automotive parts accessory store. I am in Perth Australia and we have stores such as Supercheap, Repco, Veals, etc. I hope this was of help for your own project. Good luck and happy driving. 😊

@@pinzone4358 Thank you very much my friend for immediately answer. I hope that i find the right screw. Greetings from Hellas.

Thanks David, Sorry to say I retired my old jack and upgraded to a larger capacity and lift. My old jack was not lifting full height anymore and was slipping a little. Maybe I could have installed new seals etc, but I did want an upgrade. All the best for the New Year.

Not sure if you received my reply? My pod lifts up easily with a nudge using the palm of my hand. Not sure where you are located but if the temperature is extremely cold, them plastic may be stiffer.

Hi, thanks for commenting. I should try that and get it back to how I would prefer.

Hi, Thanks for watching my video. The hole where the original radio was is filled in with a plywood panel with some rocker switches installed for lights etc. It was meant to be temporary until I made something nicer. I could simply paint it but once it was in, I never got back to it. I can't remember exactly how I got it secured, except I glued in some extra strips for support.

Thanks for your advice. It does annoy me it isn't at 12 o'clock. I'll have a look into it. Cheers

@@pinzone4358 no worries. Your video is very helpful as I have to do the same for mine. The only problem is I can’t get a replacement dial, which I need. MTI qualos say they are discontinued.

Or you can take the needle off and move it. While the needle is off it's a good time to disassemble everything then clean and lube. After 40 years it probably really needs it. *

Hello, Mitutoyo 150mm dial calliper #505-633

Hey John, thanks for your comment and so happy you had success replacing your crystal cover. Happy measuring! Regards, Fred

You're to kind. Thanks

Hey, thanks for watching and thanks for asking the question. I did have some frustration with the self tapping screws and even stabbed myself a few times trying to hold the clip in place while I inserted the rear screws. The rear screws needed a clip to give the screws something to thread into and tighten, they might have been a #6 or #8 gauge. I think the front screws were a bigger gauge, maybe #10 but could have been a larger gauge. I used what I already had in my garage without buying extra screws. A good automotive parts/accessory store should have them. I need to do an update with my new double din head unit installed. I've moved house twice in the last few months and have been flat out.

That's a good question. I can't see it listed in the fuse box inside, it might be in the under hood fuse/relay box. I've just moved house and can't find my manual. There might be something under the hood for the power windows.

@@pinzone4358 I've checked the fuse box under the hood but find nothing. I find this very strange and frustrating. Should be obvious.

@@ingolfurarnar697 I found my repair manual for my Forester, it says there is a circuit breaker and a fuse to protect the circuit. Each window motor also has it's own circuit breaker. Depending on the problem you are having, it could be any of those protective devices at fault, or even a faulty relay, or switches, connectors or wiring. There is also the power window lock button you should check if it is on or off.

Thanks Whippy, I wanted to show more of the process but I run out of hands...and feet. No we haven't found another home yet, might have to rent if nothing suitable comes up. I'm in the suburbs of Perth Western Australia and properties are selling reasonably fast, ours sold on the first home open. Not much new properties are coming up. We're looking at some today. Time will tell.

@@pinzone4358 ah well all the best for the hunt! It'll all work itself out

How have you been? Have you managed to find a place yet? I see on the news that WAs Realestate is booming at the moment!

Hi Whippy, been flatout like a lizard drinking. Finally found a house, put an offer and it was accepted on Sunday. Yay!. But we still have to move out of our house next week and go into a friends rental until the new house sale/settlement goes through in about 6-8 weeks. Yes Perth market has been stupid with not many homes available where we wanted to live, of course driving prices up.

Thats great to hear mate! Congratulations! One day I'll buy a place, Sydneys tough at the moment! It's a shame you have to rent in the meantime and couldn't get the settlements to line up! Hopefully you'll continue your videos soon!

Hi Chaz, you've got a cool name. I purchased from Japanparts.com I had to wait due to one part out of stock but that didn't take to long. There wasn't a cheap postal option only express, so freight was a bit high. 66242GG COVER, NAVIGATION (Japanparts No : 190-120-003) This is the smaller front trim of the doble din dash pod 66202CC/ 66202CD BRACKET NAVIGATION (Japanparts No : 190-120-005) You need to select LH and RH for the brackets 66242GA COVER ASSY, NAVIGATION (Japanparts No : 190-120-002) This is the top cover of the double din dash pod I hope this helps

@@pinzone4358 thank you very much. :) This is very helpful.

@@chazchesterson3257 no problemo

Thanks again for your comments. I'll have to wait a bit to buy a double din head unit but that's ok.

@@pinzone4358 No worries. Yeah they arent the cheapest upgrade for a quality double din. And you get what you pay for when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Sure, I'm at work at the moment but can provide later.

Thank you for your comments Daniel. I guess as a community we all help each other sharing our experiences. My method worked for me but in other instances, it could be more beneficial to remove the window regulator. (which I wanted to avoid). Keep Safe

Thanks I didn't weigh mine but I modelled it up in CAD software and it calculated it was about 20kg. I could lift it into the car easy enough.

@@pinzone4358 Not to bad, looks lighter than that but event still 15kg is the difference. Fair bit when its above the roof.

Carlos The Jackal! If you are refering to the AEG corded drill, I've had that for almost 40 years! Yes I feel old now for even thinking about it. I also have AEG cordless tools that are more in the 7-9 year vintage.

@@pinzone4358 40 years! Does it run on coal?

@@karlh2986 No coal here, this is German, it runs on nuclear power.

Thank you for watching and providing comments. I didn't show it on the video but I usually pour in about 250ml of clean oil while the drain plug is off, just to flush sump a bit more. I've heard some people say they burn oil but mine seems to be ok.

@@pinzone4358 Thats an interesting idea adding oil while draining! Lucky, most burn a bit, i change mine every 3,000-5,000km and i usually end up topping up. I usually run oil flush, and upper engine cleaner.

Thanks Mitre, really appreciate your comments and your channel

Thanks Donald, it's a learning curve and process I want to give a go.

I never reverse. Hahahahaha

Thank you for your comments. Yes there are so many accessories and gadgets available for camping, off-roading etc. This fuse box has six circuits which is ample for me, at the moment anyway.

Thanks for your comments. I wanted to keep everything tidy and have the new auxiliary fuse box close to the original one under the hood. There were some units available with more circuits but I went for six circuits. I did discover on the internet later there are also combined fuse and relay units available, although I wouldn't necessarily require a relay for every accessory I add. Later I might want to have a heavier 12v feed to the rear compartment than the existing one but I'll have a think about that when the time comes.

That makes two of us haha! 😆

Thanks Mitre. It's a great community to be a part of.

Thanks Jen

Duck season

I eventually did turn the gas off on the bottle itself

Haha good to hear

About 40 minutes.

about 45 minutes in total. You would think they should have a process for checking if people are hiding in the cars waiting for them to close. Where is their duty of care?

Thanks Peter, I should do a video on your MG or was that a MGB?
