Hello!!
I converted my 3 on the tree to a floor shift in my teens. Now nostalgia is telling me to go back to that 3 on the tree. My dumbass did not save the parts from back then so I’m looking for a lead on where to find the parts to do it?
Thanks!!!
Hello! I just converted to disk and so I have drum brake parts off of my 1964 fj40. I’m thinking 100$?
I’m in Denver. Let me know if you’re interested!
Thanks!
I have an old set of steel tube wheels that I can’t use after converting to disk. I’m in the Thornton area. Let me know if you’re interested! Thanks!
Price would be pretty cheap… 100$?
Hello. I recently converted my fj to disk and I couldn’t use the old wheels. Anyone in the Denver area interested in them for cheap?
They look like this:
Oh and I used 3/16 copper nickel brake lines rather than steel. It was cheap and easy to work with. I called a couple local hot rod shops and they recommended that. I got the 10mm fittings and tees from summit racing.
Hardest part was definitely running new brake lines.
If I were to do it again I’d have come up with more of a plan rather than just winging it lol.
Also if you have a 64 then you’ll find that the flex lines they supply aren’t long enough to go from the caliper to the original hard line...
Got things all wrapped up and tested. Initial prognosis is good! Brakes worked as advertised and felt great.
To get a firm pedal I used a power bleeder and it was simple and effective. Took about a couple of hours to bleed all four multiple times until no more tiny bubbles came thru.
We are having trouble getting a good pedal back now. I’ve filled the system with brand new fluid and I put about 15 psi of pressure at the master cylinder and have been getting nothing but fluid from all 4 calipers.
Any good recommendations or suggestions for getting the air out?
Thanks!
