I'll see if they can demo some of that and other stuff for me whenever I go to check it out. I'll probably go to lowes though. The Home Depot by me is just a small one and doesn't have much stuff Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magillaru Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm not saying it's bad, it just wasn't what i expected or wanted. Quote Singer Alternators Team Asshole #anothershittysingerbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm not saying it's bad, it just wasn't what i expected or wanted. Yeah I get that. I'd just like to see it in person, and don't want to waste $40 on a can of something I don't like.

moredbs Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 i second Magillaro, i didn't like the spray can liner. it doesn't give you the texture you think your gonna get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magillaru Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Raptor liner is good stuff and worth the money. I think that's what ^moredbs used but I've recently seen it first hand and it gives you that texture that you'd expect from a bed liner. Definitely worth the extra money IMO. 1 Quote Singer Alternators Team Asshole #anothershittysingerbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thank you for the advice. I'm still not ready to paint the pods anyways. Need to do a little bit of gap filling. But I do appreciate the feedback.

reedal Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Picked up a package today 270A 6 phase hairpin powder coated blue to match the Tahoe, and I'm itching to put it in. But that will be a project for tomorrow. Got a little dog tag shaped keychain And everything in the box (no severed head...) I've got a couple hours before the sun goes down. I've got a horrendous headache, but I'm going to work on gap filling the pods where they sit in the door panel (thanks mark CAF for the helpful videos). Tomorrow I'll pull the stock alt and belt, put on the new alt and shorter belt and crank 'er up. Ordering the soundqubed pro audios here in a minute too. I'll try to get pictures as I work on it this weekend Edit: also, SoundQubed is sending my 90x4 back this weekend, hopefully be here next week, and here shortly I'll have tunes in my ride again. Then it's on to box building and sound deadening (as funds are available of course).

reedal Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Today's progress: Pulled the old alternator. Here it is next to the shiny new Singer 270 270 installed Voltage with no load At some point in the near-ish future, I'll snap a pic of voltage at idle with the music full tilt, but not today. Went for a ride to test and full tilt it only dropped to 14.6 (~1.7k rpms). I'm satisfied so far. Door pods fit good, only one gap that isn't going to be visible so I'm not worried about it. No pics. Need to mount them to the door still but that's after they get some color on them. Only issue installing the alt I had was the new 3/4inch shorter belt being a bitch to get over the pulley, and the stock charging wire lug was a little small to get on the bolt, started drilling it a little bigger, it caught on the bit and the bit found my finger. No worries, all is good, and more updates will be coming before long. I have a feeling a new box will be in the picture very very soon.... 1 Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
