Okay the intro and outro was funny! This van is going to be so tricked out by the time you're done with it :)

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

Thanks, it was fun to make. nate

You can only imagine how many times I have wanted this over 30+ years of Westy ownership…thanks for the great video! Time for me to stop procrastinating and do it. 😜

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

So glad we could help! It is really not that bad of a job, just a bit time consuming. Good luck! nate

Great Idea

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

Thanks John, but I definitely did not come up with this. I saw it and thought it would be a great addition and thought others could use a how to video to help. nate

Lots of great ideas here!

I bought the same a year ago, but not installed them yet. Thanks for video 😀

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

Haha, it really is a worthwhile project!

@overlandshower4312 Год назад

Awesome intro and love that it’s not a push push push sparker but like a rapid fire guy. Going to try this. Thanks!

@ThatBaldwinLife Год назад

agreed, we didn't want the loud manual clicking kind nate

@mozaic_channel 2 года назад

hmmm. interesting and worth doing to keep the girl happy 😀 Tempted but I do love the super strong sulfur smell of my long matches… kidding, this is worth it.

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

It is a pretty simple project and makes that morning coffee just a bit easier to make nate

@johncrisp6683 2 года назад

Now on my list! Thank you for your time you put in showing all of us. BTW… what paint or ? Did you use to re do the metal panel under the stove top?

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

No problem John. There is a link to the ignitors that I used in the description. Such a simple and worthwhile project. I used Rustoleum Satin Granite to repaint the entire front panel and the new panel I made. Then hit it with a few coats of satin clearcoat. Matches the stock grey decent. nate

Does the whole stove top/cabinet have to come out?

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

No. I had the cabinet out to install the TF65. You only need to remove the faceplate to install. Nate

@EL90291 2 года назад

What kind of glue did you use ?

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

Just standard 100% silicone you can get at the hardware store. nate

@karloskelly 2 года назад

add flame sensing and we'll then give the 👍 my previous westy and current one have both.

@ThatBaldwinLife 2 года назад

Don't even know what that is but we are happy with the ignitors and how it turned out. nate

@scottpettitt5173 2 года назад

KarlosKelly, what is flame sensing? tell us what you did!

@karloskelly 2 года назад

@@scottpettitt5173 probes that sit in the edge of the flame path, connected to a shutoff valve that turns off the flow of gas if no flame is detected. I did away with the old Westy cooktop in favour of a modern SMEV / Dometic which has both. Cleaner burn, safer. To retrofit to the old stove one could repurpose the flame sensing gas valve from an old Westy fridge, one for each burner.
