New EBL for tbi 60 (TBI 350 build)

[sixty]

Strange... What to the original 203 parts measure?

 

[brokenparts]

I didnt pull the original 203 bearing because I replaced it but the thrust washer measured .217. The new bearing measured .786. Anyone got a spare 203 thrust washer they could measure?

 

[brokenparts]

Hit it with the flapper tonight and BINGO!!!

Glad you got it together, but cant believe you had to resort to the flap disc. Did Kyle ever get back to you? he should have dozens of 203 parts lying around to measure. I don't think you will have a problem with the gear mesh being slightly off.

 

[brokenparts]

yeah, Kyle was actually very very helpful and was more than willing to swap shafts if it came to that. I have zero complaints with him. We did some measuring and comparing and since everything was so SLIGHTY off I just decided to hit it with the flap disk rather than hassle with shipping. I barely even use any pressure... I wondering if there was just some kind of high spot on the washer or something. I'm still waiting on my shift rails to put the 205 back together. It'll be nice to cross this off the "to do list" and move onto setting up the links. The rest of my stuff from Ballistic Fab should be getting here today.

Could have just been a high spot, those c-rings are tight. Why did you go with new rails? Grinding the rails was a piece of cake and pretty dificult to screw up. Isn't it noce putting HUGE parts in the cruiser. Those 205's are monsters.

 

[brokenparts]

ummm yeah.... I was a little impatient when I pulled them and ended up getting one stuck. Then I made it worse and got my BFH out to "negotiate" with it. THAT WAS A BAD BAD BAD MOVE. I learned my lesson on that one. I end up having to cut it out.

... It'll be nice to cross this off the "to do list" and move onto setting up the links.

That's the way it gets done, one part at a time. Then soon enough it'll be on the road and in the dirt! While the pics aren't the best (quality, but not a big deal) your process documentation is looking great! Looking forward to some link lessons.

shift rails got here today so I got some more done on the 205. Managed to get a little help too.

Kennedy feelin for the shift rail hole:

she got it!!!

She had more important things to do inside so she joined mama inside since the hard work was done.

Shift fork installed:

then I had to back up... forgot to install the short input shaft first:

then the fork and sliding gear:

together:

snap ring installed on other side:

then the shift rail pins by lining up the forks and the holes in the shafts:

then installed the bearing and snap ring on the output shaft:

the stuff for the output shaft:

it was easier to prop up the case to drop it in:

looking down:

then the thrust washer:

then the high gear:

then dropped in the shaft:

backside:

then I quit too..

rear output bearings...

some paint:

doubler bearings for the 203:

 

[Dirtgypsy]

are you done yet?

clint

 

[brokenparts]

I'm starting to get frustrated with Ballistic Fab... I ordered the rest of my junk about 3weeks ago and still havent it seen it yet.

 

[brokenparts]

finished up the doubler.

I didnt bolt it together yet because I'm not sure about how I'm going to clock it yet. I need to set the front end up first... this stuff should help with that.

TTT for updates........Christmas tree run roll out?

TTT for updates........Christmas tree run roll out?

Nothing significant to report. My daughter's soccer season just ended so I should have more time to spend on it. I'm in the process of getting my bender swapped over to hydraulic so that I can bolt it to a cart and move it around the garage since my space is pretty limited.

I wont make it in time for the Christmas tree run.

 

[brokenparts]

Got beef?

Obviously the links and everything are pretty dirty but I'm just in the mock up stage.... I'll clean up everything for the final build. At least I can now say that the axle is connected to the chassis though.

 

[boots4]

That's some serious beef! I love the land of jack stands pic too.

 

[brokenparts]

bit more tonight...

gotta figure this out too... it just kisses the link but with more weight on the tire I imagine that'll bubble out on it more:

 

[brokenparts]

these link numbers are pretty close:

 

[brokenparts]

hydroboost master came:

springs on:

the springs actually match the cruiser too:
