Any thoughts on what hand brake set up you'll use?

 

[The Punter]

Discs and knuckles from the 60
Got the booster and master as well, staying with drums on the rear.
Doing the 60 ps install as well.

Got lots out of that car for my 400 clams!

 

[Michael B]

In my experience 60's are money making parts vehicles!

 

[The Punter]

Oh sorry.. hand brake. Looks like 79 cable is the go.

I have the 60 diff which I might use for the rear inc handbrake, need to get advice from motor reg on the extra track first

 

[The Punter]

On to the PS install today

 

[The Punter]

Some cutting and shutting of the trans cover for the 5 speed

 

[nogo]

Is that the trans cover from the hj45 fitted to the 47 tunnel ?

 

[The Punter]

Yep, I could have just got a 47 I guess, but I had it, and it was close with a few additions and subtractions!

 

[The Punter]

I needed the welding practice

 

[The Punter]

Power steer plate progress

 

[The Punter]

Almost done

 

[The Punter]

Had to have the 75 shaft resplined and used a large to small uni from a celica for the firewall join. Pretty happy with progress, she n

ow has power steering for the first time!

 

[The Punter]

Here's how the 55 column fits

Thanks mate, I'll keep posting. Here's the next issue. Had a hard life the old girl has

 

[nogo]

If you can't find some CV's locally, check out a bloke on ebay AU calls himself 'ashcargot', he's in Melbourne, a bit far from you I know, but he's good to deal with, willing to post and his parts are cheap!

 

[The Punter]

Looks like the 60 comes to the rescue again. Glad I stripped the red one!

 

[The Punter]

Rear springs on, having a bit of trouble getting the pivot pins all the way in

 

[The Punter]

Front and rear springs all sorted.

 

[The Punter]

Today I got the short shaft out of the old 45 birfield into the 60 end. Real pain in the arse to do but now both birfs are good to go

Diff all cleaned up ready to assemble and started the knuckle clean up, messy business
