You could wet sand that down. That would take a while, and possibly if it would then be too small for the seal area due to the taper or the filter inside. _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |

That would take longer than I would like. But maybe I could grind it down first... |
Its a very common part. Just buy one. _________________

You are taking all the fun out of it... |
Brother those leak on a good day. Do yourself a solid and get a nice one and pick the rubber out of the filter side and put a new o-ring in. _________________

Picked up a few more bits.
Rubber block for the hatch striker. Hatch doesn't latch quite as nice as without it. I have to push it to latch. Maybe it will get better with time. |
Did you apply a little grease to lubricate those latching surfaces. Lubrication helps to make surfaces slide together easier. _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |

Nice work! Do recommend replacing the rusty pipe though. _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |

Got the welder fixed so started the rear bumper. 37 year old Miller Matic had 2 diodes go bad so replaced all 4.
Overriders have the ends rusted bad. Found some pipe with the correct size to replace the ends. I slid sockets in the pipe, put it in the vice and tapped in the indent. I will fix them up once they are welded. Fitted the end but will likely need a little adjustment once assembled.
Was going to start on the new engine but decided to get new connecting rods. I had planned to change the wrist pin bushing but that turns out to be a complex job and no local machine shops I would trust.
