Not Ranked
What I had was the new (to me ) Gorilla clear glue that I happened to be using on some fence pieces. I just used the smallest quantity, applying to the end of the threads of the door striker and then I glued the two shim washers to the acorn nut and let set up. It worked fine providing enough drag so as that nut will never rattle off again. I had to hold the striker with a crescent wrench and tighten the nut with a long version of a 3/8" ratchet. Everything is now great there now.
I had a time with the hazard warning switch though. The original screws were knurled so they were hard to remove for full eye terminals ends. What a pain trying to stack wires on a screw and get started into switch terminal. I ended up making two short leads to gather the wires for each side and the single eyed extension lead. That brought all the wires into clusters so regular turn signals will work without the Hazard switch and then the hazard switch will work fine . Hazard switch gets it's power from the battery so I do not need to turn on any other switches as if I have to leave the car. I did find a similar push-pull(labeled as a headlight switch) purposed for 46- 71 Jeep all CJs. No mention of a dimmer or park lights and it comes with a circuit breaker instead of an glass fuse. The number 946613 seems to find bunches of them, But I already spent my money on this DS234 switch.
Next on to the key thing. I thought I had it nailed with the ignition switch placement.. Low on the left under the door seam in a protected area.as the original builder had it. Now it's bothering me , the keys and fob keep jabbing my knee when operating the clutch. I do not really want to start moving the ignition switch on the padded dash. With the ignition key in switch the keys and fob are at the dash material seem and below. I've been toying with separating the rest of the pile of keys ( the traditional Cobra fob, steering wheel to brake pedal locking bar. Glove box door, trunk lock, locking gas tank cap, and house key. and attaching to another point in the area but off my knee.?
I removed the left rear wheel to gain access to the front of the rear wheel well to clean up and reapply new Gorilla duct tape to cover the door striker nut hole in body. I saw the grease points . The lower arm an hub were all I could access. Now it looks like changing to some angled grease zerks in the Jag drive axle U-joints I couldn't access with my stuff and present position. may be on the list of thing to do in the near future. It's been at least 15 years since. See what I mean never done?
