Rico,
Your best bet is to contact local EAA Chapters or someone at nearby Oshkosh for
a home builder who can do this. Down here in Lakeland, everyone goes to a good
ole boy living out near the swamp. He works wonders with his TiG setup, installed
in a lean-to off his single wide. There might not be any swamp nearby in
Wisconsin but I'm sure there's a good ole boy with a TiG setup in his garage
nearby. You just have to ask around, car guys know who to go to also, seek out
some of them.

All who read - heed.
Doug & Katherine,
Please forget the panic and mournful call for help yesterday. It was the
result of fatigue, memory loss and being rushed. Fatigue from just driving
straight to Tulsa from Fla. and back in 3 days. Memory loss - part
fatigue and not remembering where I put the engine mount bolts AND they are
different sizes (short ones on top and long ones on bottom). And rushed - my
brother could only spend a few days with me to help.
I am partly squared away at this point, (still trying to get my 2nd
medical out of the way). Have no need now of engine mount bolts.

No, it would be pretty hard to over tighten them, no need to go more than
snug as they are safety wired. Depending on how old they are they may be
worn and binding also.

Thanks Doug,
Each wobbler seems to be held in place with a small slotted screw which is
safety wired to its neighbor. Can they be over tightened?

Ernie,
On the bottom of each gill/vane there is a small steel 90 degree "arm"
the correct name is a wobbler. The wobbler should have a smooth slot in it.
If the wobblers have been vibrating on the hardware they will have
developed a notch in the slot. The gills are most likely hanging up in this
notch. Another problem may be that the center ring holes are all wallowed out,
this will also cause the gills to bind up.
Check book #2 of the IPBs for the dwg/breakdown of the shutter system.
I carry all the various shutter parts in stock.
Hope this helps.
Doug

What can cause the gill shutter ring on a CJ to bind? Mine requires a lot
of effort to actuate. Before I start taking things apart I was hoping there
was an obvious answer. It's not the cable, I disconnected it at the
actuating arm, and I had to use channel locks to open and close the ring.
Thanks
Ernie
