work on my sv250

Smiler · Feb 27, 2010

I have been working on the interior and the engine… I have been replacing most items that I believe may go out:
Starter
Alternator
Regulator
Water pump
Belts
Radiator hoses
Heater hoses
Transmission cooling hoses
Transmission filter
Fuel lines
Fuel filter
Switched to eclectic fuel pump
All electrical switches

I have also been working on the cosmetics:
New seats
New insulation
Carpet as a headliner
Rubber floor mats
New dome light
Interior paint

I still need to finish a few items on the interior, but thought I would post some pictures of the progress.

Smiler · Feb 27, 2010

The seats are after market Jeep seats all over the internet for about $120.

So that's where the hydraulic controls go on a factory installation! My SV200 didn't have hydraulics and I only added a dual control for the trail groomer (to adjust the front and back of it) and I put my controls up on the "console" behind the hinged lid. Nice work. :clap:

I should add carpet and insulation such as you have.

Thanks for the pictures ! It looks really nice and sounds like you are very thorough.
That looks just like the carpet I used in my SV252. Did you put insulation behind it ? What kind of glue ?

What did you use for the rubber floor mats ? I can't find much that is lighter than a truck bed mat and heavier than cheap, plastic-y stuff.

Smiler · Feb 28, 2010

To attach the carpet I used the same high temp spray adhesive I purchased from JC Whitney for the insulation around the engine. I found the mat material at a place called Blue Collar in Sacramento. They mostly sell nuts and bolts by the pound, but also have remnants of all sorts.

I also replace all 3 master cylinders, and I’m now working on new brake lines all the way back. Next on my list are new tires and rebuilding my tracks. I have 41 inch tracks which makes my width over 9 feet, so I plan on getting a one day wide load permit as a test to see how long and difficult they are to obtain. If the permit is too much of a pain I will be forced to do the unthinkable.

Where did you find the master cylinders ? I will need some for my Bombi, put the driver on left side.

Just for you guys information, I repaired the clutch master cylinder with a brake cylinder hone and $4 for a piston seal cup. It took all of a half an hour once I got the master cylinder out. This was on a 252 SKi Dozer. :whistling:

Sylvain, you might consider modifying your existing steering levers when you move the drivers seat. I always wanted to do the same on the Bombie I had and it would be very easy to fab up a horizontal turn on the levers to make this work. I would probably build a whole new set once I had a prototype with the old ones. You could always support them with some carrier type bearings too. It would seam to be an easier and cheaper fix.

dep6113 · Mar 10, 2010

Kirk is right, you can get rebuild kits---they are listed on rock auto also. No info on the slave cylinders except bogie said he has rebuild kits---when he gets back in town i will order some
