Default Benchmark Evap Skid going on this weekend

Got my Benchmark Skid. Looks great - all shiny and new. Can't wait to install it this weekend (and create yet another excuse to go wheelin - "But hon, I've got to go check out my new skid!").

Pics and opinions to follow.

Pics? I'm flattered... okay,



oh... you meant the skid. here it is. Nice welds (I wouldn't know a nice weld if it introduced itself - but it makes me sound like I know a little somethin... Ahhhh
always wanted to weld ya know... I really like the idea of creating things from metal.

I can be creative.

One time I wrote a story. Want to hear it?

Hello?

Helloooo?

Oh yeah - get to the pics, okay.

Ok.

10 min call motivated me.

so I went out to the garage at 9:20. Movin cars, getting tools, taking pics, installing skid, uploading photos, and typing and its only 10:00.

My assessment - THAT WAS CRAZY EASY!!!!

Perfect fit Benchmark! Nice product.

Rerouted the one electical connection inside. With two bolt holes on one end and one on the other - even I couldn't screw this one up!

Sweet.


Two bolts - loosen



One bolt - loosen


Drop the front


Disconnect electrical connection (squeeze & pull - I'm talking about the connection dude) Slide the skid into place then re-route and connect the plug.


Put bolts in and tighten... Done.

That looks real nice and SO much simpler than moving the evap. Nice write up!
