For motor/pump coupler alignment I use long arm 3mm allens @ 12,3,6,9 o'clock to get the couplers parallel, THEN I use the straight edge. If coupler fingers are all exactly 3mm apart, your straight.

I wound up ordering 2 sets of batt cables. Still fine tuning on them. Shortest high amp circuit I've ever done.

I grabbed my sump pump to install, and of course the basket went with the last ski. So I came up with this.

Polished this up b4 it went in for good.

Captivated clip in the front, offset in the back. I like using a plate for the waterbox, it doubles as a cable organizer.

I made a stepped plate for the waterbox.

On to the exhaust. I make my own clips. Interesting fact, M10x15, 20, 25 are all the same price as M10x30's (Mc Carr at least). I just buy 30's and cut what I need. I used a contour gauge for fitting the PFP block. I used Scotchlock for mounting blocks so you can remove them.

Battery tray install. Sleeved cables with clear tube to control rub. Punched drain holes.

The Heim joint on the stud for the Raptor steering just floats. Kind of sloppy, if you center it with spacers it deflects and you don't get full tilt. I made some thin wall spacers that worked perfect.

This killed me but, remember those M10 pump bolts ? The only way to get the alignment correct was to oval the holes. I did order my MAXX with 4 cooling connections which was great for installing.

Wasn't happy with the fit of the scoop grate. So I fine tuned it.

Layed the plate on epoxy on a sheet of glass for a mirror finish. Screwed and siliconed it on. And checked pump seal squeeze out.

Of course I exactly duplicated the shape of the JD shoe filling in the scoop grate trench. And I missed that it was missing over here ! So plate #2. I also made sure steering cable holder would clear b4 I had to make plate #3.

So to kill 2 birds, I made a fiberglass filler plate. The fiberglass is from a weir plate from a water treatment plant. They were throwing it out, I grabbed it 20 yrs. ago knowing one day I'd find a job for it.

Also when the pump was bolted in it had a gap of about 1/8 inch between the shoe and seal.

I had ten fold problems with the pump. 1st, the JD shoe is not shaped right for a 155 seal. The Phantom uses M10 bolts for the pump, most pumps/nozzles have clearance holes for M8. Let's just say getting it in correct took some doing. What's this supposed to seal against ?

The pump install was a fiasco. The JD shoe had a well made adapter for a 148 that had to be knocked out.

Tank and Plan B primer. Clear epoxied finish on strap. Piece of 1/4 turf for spring load under tank.

Cleaned up the ATP pole parts.

The OE bushings were super sloppy. My buddy Flash-FX cut me some oversized ones for Ti pinch bolts.
