Cut Down on Clamp Cuts
e're not talking about a bank holdup here.
We're talking about an armored HMMWV's insulation liner that loses its stickum.
Over time, the self-stick backing on the headliner turns loose and the liner droops.
Eyeball the inside roof of your hard-
shell HMMWV to see if the liner has
any loose spots.
Glue them back in place with primer
adhesive,
Hold the liner against the roof for about
3 minutes while the adhesive dries.
When you have to replace entire
liner pieces, spray the adhesive on the
roof to make sure the liner stays put.
W
hen you move the clamps on the
HMMWV's air cleaner so the bolts
won't rub holes in the hood, make
sure
you
don't get cut.
John F. Tipsword, Jr. of AMSA
45G, Orland Park, IL, offers this
approved SMART suggestion:
Tuck the loosened clamp straps in
between the air cleaner shield and the
air cleaner body. Then tighten the
clamp bolts.

Let your mechanic know if the threaded end is visible so the problem can be cor-
rected. Let him know if there is tire damage, too.
It may have already caused
some tire damage because
the tire rubbed against the
bolt end when the truck
was heavily loaded.
If the
threaded end
is visible on
the outside of the spring hanger, the
bolt is installed
incorrectly.
If the
bolt head
is visible on the
outside of the spring hanger (you
can see it without crawling under-
neath the truck),
the bolt is
installed
correctly.
That way the clamp straps won't be as likely to cut, rip and tear at your hands and
clothes while you're pulling PMCS or maintenance in the engine compartment.
