Doubler Case Sight Tube Assembly
NP231J Doubler Case Sight Tube Assembly
Sight-tube for Box4Rocks Doubler (pipehitter55@Pirate 4x4)
There is a clearance issue involving the sight tube fitting and the Terra Low231 housing. The Terra Low231 housing extends up to the fitting possibly requiring relocation of the hole slightly towards the end of the plate (direction of the blue arrow) or by using a different fitting (silver press-to-fit fittings shown in the Dana 300 pictures to the right).
