‘69 Time Capsule

Who is he? He as in me? Apologies, I should have been more clear, the axle I have procured is from a fj62. Hence the talk of knuckle rebuilding/kits/etc.

Sorry for the confusion!

Then pull the knuckles and birfs, clean up the parts and assemble. You'll have to grind the ball openings to fit the slightly larger birfs. I just did this a couple of yrs ago. Machine or replace the rotors. I bought rebuilt calipers from a big box auto parts store. Get the Marlin seals. I would recommend borrowing a centering tool. I found using the 60's original shim placement and measurements were off.

What I have been saying

 

[Living in the Past]

I remember now why I never installed a disc brake axle in my 68 Everything brake related except the rear axle brakes needed to be replaced. Even those may have replace the wheel cylinders or adapt the brake line going to the rear. The pedal bucket is different. That has to do with spacing for the booster. Original is spot welded. Later were bolt in. Since none are a daily driver maintaining the drums isn't that hard.
