Builds Dusty Roads - Tilda Bogue Service Station

Back together with a backing plate eliminate kit and ASCO hubs from City Racer

 

[wngrog]

Done with that. Brakes tomorrow.

Where do you source your brake components (rotors/calipers/lines)? My 1969 has this later model disc brake set up

Fronts I get at Napa. Rear I get the TSM kits from Valley Hybrids.

Back on this thing tomorrow. Had to work a local project in.

Fluid Film goes on everything, correct ? Got my 1st can today.

Your builds are always top-notch. Do you run the relays and upgraded harness from Toyota on the H4s or just go with the stock harness?

I run the harness. It’s easy to use. Why not.

Ha. Whatever you want to put it on. It comes out thick from the cans.

Agreed and can't beat the price!

 

[wngrog]

Back at it!

TSM rear brakes come with a full set of stainless lines for the rear.

The front come from Georg at Valley Hybrids with his backing plate eliminator.

New OEM rubber hoses. Had to make one line.

 

[wngrog]

Brakes. Done. No leaks.

Moving along.

 

[wngrog]

This intake and exhaust were both a total mess. Intake was cracked in 2 spots. Exhaust was heavily pitted.

I picked up a couple of clean pieces. Glued it all in with a Remflex exhaust gasket kit.

Looking fantastic like all your builds.
A question on the bolt flip kits you install, do you paint the u bolts before installing them? No problems with the threads getting gummed up?

I paint it all after it’s in place.

I have the same bleeder but with a threaded end for my 1970 BMW, works great... are you using the Motive attachment with the chain on it, or something different? I would LOVE to find an attachment that works with the Toyota reservoirs and not have to bug someone else in the house to help!

I installed a U bolt flip kit without painting. They are now rusty.
Is rust converter then paint the remedy?

Don't have the kit number in front of me, but motive industries do have a cap for foreign cars that fits Toyota reservoirs.

This one fits clutch and 80 series tops. I have to use the chain thing for 60 series
