    I corrected my posts... Got most of my stuff from Cruiser Otfitters in Utah. NOT jtoutfitters. Damn autocorrect on phone.

    Final post on disc brake upgrade! Wow. Should not have waited so long I still have to shim my spring hole at some point... side project. See prior posts I drove my rig into town for some errands and i thoroughly enjoyed it!! I've had this thing a while and every moment has always been...

    Soooo, I've been driving this thing around and making adjustments... Brakes are awesome! Stops reliably. Haven't gotten it up to speed yet due to I'm an idiot who replaced all tie Rod ends and now can't go straight😉 Seems like i can feel the rear start to grab, then with a little more pedal...

    I'm trying to get all my "again" out of the way the first time!😜🤣 i am seriously going slow enough to re check everything, I've made so oooo many mistakes, but have hopefully caught them all. I prolly have cancer from spraying brake fluid all over my self and driveway... I try to own up to my...

    Okay. Finally got a handle on the flaring. My first practice bend came out really close so i just went with it. I used an old muffler hanger i had laying around and cut the hook off then shaped it around the MC on the grinding wheel. This is for my new proportioning valve. After struggling...

    I was using hammer, a couple of whacks under the arm close to knuckle them a few whacks on the opposite side ... i used a brass drift which rested nicely against the knuckle and tapped it upward. It will be hardest getting it off the first time, easier each time thereafter. A few big whacks on...

    Okay. 25 ft of brake line and a package of fittings should be here Thursday. Wish i could find the bracket, no luck yet. I will rent the bending and flaring kit. Now i can appreciate that air conditioning class from HS - learned to work with copper tubing. While i am waiting, i have been...

    I had no proportioning valve before so i don't know what to do with this... Assume it goes on rear line????? Which is inner? Outlet? I guess i need to rig this up with another piece of hard line? Gonna dig through FAQs but if anyone can steer me in the right direction...???

    Knuckle complete. Had to pull it all apart to put my backing plate and sandwich in... measure and measure again. Had to adjust shims a few times and ended up with 1.5 mm on bottom and a 0.80mm on top. 8.5 lbs on steering arm New tie Rod ready to assemble And final pic is the shop supervisor

    Booster is in. Ready to finish knuckle as soon as my nuts show up. Should be delivered sometime today. Was 2 short. Still soaking tire Rod end in PB. If i can't break that end off, i might buy a new one for $98. It is pretty bent anyway... The road itself

    So it turns out those tire Rod ends had boots at one time... prolly went missing back in the 90s... wonder if new ends will improve steering😉 Pulled the MC and Booster... think is all original with that red spray from PO. Silver on the firewall = painted part. I'm now looking at how to match...
