Ferg-think you might be a bit confused. The rotors could be vented. Need to look on the edge for that. They certainly arent drilled or slotted and definately arent the right size. JT sent me a hub socket that didnt fit. Took a while to get through but finally got the right part. My biggest...

No, no... dont get me wrong. Im not complaining. Picked up piles of good axle info for future project consideration. Keep it coming! :beer: Just not sure his original ? ever really got answered. See Mancinator was asking about price for cutting axles and got Axle Swap 101 in return...

Sorry to hear it wasnt what you were looking for but (no offense) these guys forgot about you a long time ago. I get a kick out of it when they get on a rant anyway. Maybe the next one will suit your needs. Good luck.

Get a machine shop to make the brackets for you using the pattern in the Tech Section http://www.birfield.com/~morgan/tech/LCDBC1.pdf Many writeups in the tech section. Pick one you like and go for it. I think Ive got about $150 in mine. Worth every penny.

Where did you get your master cylinder? Some out there are junk out of the box. Might just try to rebleed everything again, including the master, and see if it helps Scrap the rear drums for disc while your fooling with it. Much mo betta!

IN! out. IN! out. IN! out. IN! out. IN! out. :whoops: I think I made a mess. Count me in.

I think the idea of using a 4 wheel disc master is that you dont need the proportionoing valve because its built in. Cant say from experience since I added one externally. 2nd the Summit.

Thats what I thought but... guess its more or less indestructable. I dont think this one can be killed. BTW, its a 78 2F in a 71'. POs did some weird stuff to it. Heres what I did. Shortly after I parked it and started working on my house, I added some Stabil to the tank to help keep the...

Word I hear is people seem to like them better than points. Supposed increased response and mph. I dont have any experience with electronic ig yet but have been looking into several dist upgrades and thats one of the better ones from what I can tell. Doing it soon I hope.

Did you leave the jump seats in and fold them up when the bench was in? Or were they a necessary casualty?

IIRC, you should be able to wire up the acc and ig to the same terminal. With the switch you bought, you just wont be able to turn the key backwards and run accessories like the radio with power to the ig system off like you used to.

So after 2 years of sitting neglected (I am so ashamed) and a couple of months of tinkering, I have SUCCESS! :D Got the old girl fired up today and moving under her own power! In the immortal words of the Motor City Madman, "The beast lives! Long live the beast!" Unfortunately, as good as...

Appreciate the tip. The PO did install a radio but Im not sure where/how its hooked up. Probably the spare. That still doesnt explain why Im loosing juice with the radio disconnected. Seems like something may be amiss in the horn circuit since I have to disconnect both circuits to get a 0...

Lets start by saying Im not an electrician nor do I know much about wiring. After finishing a total gutting and rebuild of a house (wife insisted on one project at a time >:( ), I have started in on the FJ (a 71' with 78' 2F). Just finished 4 wheel disc brake conversion (learned that POs can...

nspctr1, You mentioned a while back you didnt have the drivers side steering arm or tie rods for your mini axle. Its true older (pre-78?) LC steering arms wont fit the mini axle. 81 LC steering arms WILL fit the mini stud pattern! The bonus here is that there is no shimming TREs to fit the...
