storkmack Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Try JP chrome for the exterior stuff. I have a stainless visor from them on my RD, and it looks great. Gauge covers from a Pete will work. On my small gauges I had to put a small dab of clear silicon to hold them on. Hope this helps.

Lmackattack Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yep I bought the same covers Brad. I think they were for an older pete with the standard StewartWarner sized gauges. Only my boost gauge needed a dab of silicone. donaldson had chrome air cleaners. I think they still make them. also turnsignal covers. LED replacement lights. round air horn covers, upgraded bullit Lights.Visors are all easy to find bolt on "flash" Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10634-i-need-r-model-aftermarket-chrome-parts/#findComment-40330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucketTrucker688 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 you wouldnt happen to have a part number or know where i could find a stainless donaldson air cleaner would you? i need replacement straps to. does the visor on that watts mack website drop or is is a standard visor becausse i found a 9" drop for it but the pictures look identical on watts site and the virgo fleet website but watts is much cheaper.

singlstckmack51 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 The switch extensions from a 378 Pete also work on the Mack switches. You can also find the stainless air cleaner lid nuts that work on a Pete of KW work on Macks also.
