Thanks gentlemen. I did find recomendations under Hercules 6 cylinder engines that includes what you have mentioned and a little more.

That is my problem, they are in neutral and I do not no which hose goes to which side of the electric/hyd. pump. Thanks for the thoughts. Gary

I have found a winshield frame for my 26' twin engine CC Continental.

Does anyone know where I can order Flame Red fabric? My build sheet indicates that was the originl interior color but I have no idea what it looked like. Also, would the crash pad have been Red or Black Aligator?
