Looking great!

Am I crazy or is that fan mounted backward on the clutch?

More photos - the RS hose kits do not have a orange striped hose which is what the originals had so I restriped the actuator hose orange and fixed the yellow on the hoses as well.

NOS Trico splitter -

The bottle of electrical joint compound which I use on all grounds and wire plugs.

The tail lamp housings sometimes are deformed and will not hold the lenses very well. I submerge them in boiling water for a few minutes then use a clamp to pull them in - then set the change using cold water in a pump up spray bottle.
