Builds A little "Sugar" (1 Viewer)

Great looking build! Just one quick observation as a guy who works on race cars, it looks like your front brake rotor is on the incorrect side as the slots and holes should radiate out in the direction of travel if that makes sense. I know at least on my Porsche and others that I have worked on, the replacement rotors had an L and an R marked somewhere on them. Maybe these are different but I just wanted to pass this info along in case.


cheers, James

What you said makes sense regarding the rotors, thank you. These are installed as per manufacturers directions. The direction of the inner vanes dictates the rotation over the direction of the slots.

Yes, agree on your input regarding the inner vanes, glad you are all set!

The drive line is assembled and ready to install. Did a test fit and made frame and floor modifications for a better fit.

Sugar is having a 62 dash installed. Gauges are set in the dash and preliminary wiring is done.

Gauges installed using Trail Tailor brackets.

Like so many, the AC bezel for Sugar's FJ62 dash was in rough shape. All five mounting spots were broken away along with the upper rail being cracked apart. Also shown is a headlight bucket that is also cracked. All repairs were done with West Systems epoxy and fiberglass cloth.

A/C bezel ready for installation. The extra defrost switches will control lights and e winch solenoid and will be labeled later. Double USB outlet in place of the OEM lighter.

Made up dash harnesses. First is for the gauges. Second is for two switches, clock, radio and USB port.

Dobinson springs for Sugar. Lord what a color. Imagine pairing them with Old Man Emu yellow shocks. A guy changing brake pads pulls a tire, sees that and looses his lunch on the rotor.

Went with black.

Is there a measured position that works best for cutting out the length of frame in the middle section? Or is it just based off what feels right?

Stan just closes his eye's points in a derection and cuts there and makes it work every time.
