Tub housekeeping

After several drives I noticed that a lot of the noise came from the back of the rover where the aluminum was bare.  Its time to clean and herculine the interior. I pulled the galvanized sheet of steel from the front of the tub and found some holes.
I'm guessing the DSPO at hunting camp didn't want to mess with the gas tank so he mounted a gas tank and ?? in the tub. Note the square area.

Its a little yucky back there.  I found a burnt wire coming through the floorboardon the right side of the dirty area. 
What it was for? I dunno.  The large holes are about 2 x 2.5" and another about 1" diameter.  Why? I dunno still.

OOH- SHINY!

The seat belt mounting bolts finally gave up and came out.  They were harder to get out on the left side than the right side for some reason.  The rivets are bad bad bad. I'm rying to preserve the wiring by missing them with the grinder :)

A couple tub side supports came loose when removing the bolts.  The rivets corroded into and the brackets are loose.  I'm getting new  rivets put in so the seatbelts can mount securely. Even if they are never used.

Little trips and problems

  Need to tighten alternator bracket.
Brake switch seems to be a Rover only part. It went phlewy and stopped working.  Shocker.
  Oreillys dug through 3 huge books and came up with something that 'might' work for $13.
So I just ordered another at the 'great' price of $16.  Hope it lasts longer.  If not the brake lights will get LEDs put in to reduce the load.
The switches riveted on terminals were loose, and the plastic piece spun inside the casing.  Sometimes it would make a click sound,
sometimes not.  Regardless, a new switch is cheap insurance.
I need to get on with the body armor portion of the build as fall is approaching and Gilmer, TX calls.  Now that I have more confidence in the mule, it needs to go on more outings.
