Delancy's NEW 76 PIGGY ??? (7 Viewers)

[Delancy]

I walked away unscathed.

Can't say the same for my 80....

PSA for all I owe goods to.

Have been in intense negotiations on a deal for several months and, along with two other businesses daily activities, it has been all consuming.

Down to the wire on it and hope to, at least know how it's going to transpire in the next few weeks.

I hope to be back, full steam, very soon.

Since I can't like, quote, or tag:

@Onur,

It sure was great moment.

Robbie expressed condolences yesterday and think he sent that to cheer me up.

3FE motor mount fit, perfectly.

 

[J Mack]

I glad you're OK!

 

[PabloCruise]

Darn Chris... Glad you are o-k.

Sorry the 80 is hurt, but glad you are o-k!

 

[PabloCruise]

You can do whatever you want, I needed the room on the DS for my exhaust

Tucker

Ah, I see. So I have a pass side slave cylinder I am in a much different boat than you...

 

[bobm]

As long as you are O.K. thats all that counts.

At the point of a previously known interference issue that was labelled a "cross the bridge when we get to it" deal sometime back.

To the bridge and after hours or reading, I'm less uncertain on how best to cross.

'76 Pig specific OE front disc and rear drums.

Seeking the most similar booster that'll function in the same manner as the very large Pig booster did, in hopes that the MC is still available new.

Pig Booster 9" dia. x 8.75"
60 Booster 9" dia. X 4.5"

Have read that the 60 booster can be flipped, I'm assuming, to clear the clutch slave base, but nothing definitive on operation with a '76 pig master.

I believe I have a new '72 master cylinder, which leads me to believe that the '76 is available, too.

Right now, if parts can be ordered new, it will save time, which equals money, so reasoning behind that position, plus it maintains the current methodology on the balance.

 

[Delancy]

Cliffs: What brake booster functions the same as the '76 booster, but is shorter and won't require modification of firewall or spacers to clear the slave cylinder base?

Is there a combination of MC and booster that can be ordered new, that's a direct fit in both mounting and orientation, also bore/stroke/ whatever that doesn't necessitate external proportioning?

 

[Delancy]

Also, not that anyone on earth may ever encounter, but 3F exhaust flange is specific to 3F manifold, and 3FE won't work.

Sir Harris has agreed to sell back the 7X down pipe, as it appears it will work, this after hours and hours of measuring, in an attempt to determine viability.

How much interference between master cylinder and carburetor ?
Could a combination of spacers be used on the carb and booster to move them apart?

 

[Delancy]

The carb is a monster and will hit the booster.

A shorter booster with the same MC should work fine.

If an alternate MC is the way to go, due to booster/bore/proportioning variable, it can't be any larger at the end of the master cylinder body.

Edited: If a single resi, it can't be any larger than the width of the larger front resi of the size depicted.

My '9/75 FJ40 had a booster that was the same diameter, but stuck out 1/2 as far. Not sure if you can find one, sounds like the 60 booster may do the same thing. Always something, looking good though

[Delancy]

My concern is stroke, bore, other items I do not know the relevancy off, yet.

I don't know if there's a logical reason for the double sized booster that, by replacing with smaller, won't need counteraction in the MC.

I can find no dimensional data on any boosters, yet.

I know I failed miserably with the 80 brakes and would like convulsive information on what works with the OE MC.....that's I've yet to find, nowhere.

 

[Delancy]

 

[Delancy]

Alcan bushings aren't the same size as OEs.

Tried to replace in an attempt to go black, but didn't work out quite right.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

4 runner booster is a goody, you need a manifold to downpipe gasket? I have 2 for soem reason- yes they are 3F, not 2F or 3FE...yours for the asking. I run the runner booster on both the 77 and the 88. I think it was an improvement over stock in both cases.

 

[Delancy]

@LAMBCRUSHER

Actually needed the down pipe.....back, as I sold a year or so back.

The buyer didn't need, so he's graciously returning for what I paid, and it had the gasket or donut, whatever they're called.

Help me understand on the booster, please.

Are you saying the T4R booster connected to the OE '76 master cylinder is a go? Functions the same, if not better, with the balance of the OE braking system, based on OE proportioning afforded by the MC?

 

[Delancy]

With that booster, did anything have to cut, space, or modify to install?

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

1/4" off the pedal to booster rod, think I inverted it, maybe used factory runner booster to firewall spacer- post back later, but nothing untold whatsoever...

 

[Delancy]

Ordered FJ80 booster and HZJ-75 MC, the latter a replacement for the NLA 80 equivalent.

Not my idea, so not taking credit....nor associating blame, shan't it work.

Question number 642,735,931

Anyone know if the OE or any Cruiser specific shock brand uses inserts in the shock eye bushings?

None I have, have them, but ain't saying much.
