Looks great. Where’d you source those 90s? Do they have 6an on the other end? I’ve got a leaky high pressure flare on mine and am having a hard time finding the 16x1.5 inverted flare and 16x1.5 o ring 90s to convert it to a 6an hose.
Sorry for slow reply. The “sweeping 90” was fabbed by the shop. I really can’t tell if it was fabbed as JIC or 6an. I had a hydraulic hose same size and a harder 90 degree. The pump did not like it at all. Struggle to meet the demand. Guess it was too sharp. I found some welds at the base of the 6an. (Folks that did the resto in 2012)
No problem at all, and thanks for the details. Good to know that these are almost all custom. That's helpful. I ordered one of these ICT Billet hoses with the two fittings so will see how it goes. Cheers.
I ended up going to the hydraulic hose place, they are just an industrial hose fitting place in town. I put my Toyota parts on the counter. He explained I don’t have anything too unique. They could get most of the fittings. Worth a shot
Thank you!
That’s a tough one, that cold may not be worth it. Mine has a 2 inch lift, caster may be different so cruiser to cruiser may not work exact compare. But quickest way is to put a jack under one side at a time, that will get the springs talking. While you go up and down listen close where. If you have a way to see the wear spot between leafs wash that spot good. That alone calmed it down. But if you can let the diff hang and untorque ubolts knock the springs around, line them up, go back about 75% of final torque, let it back down and settle. Then torque them down. The little rubber/fiber pad I’m leaving in place for awhile to see how it behaves
I’ve thought that numerous times this week. It’s almost like they are saying well if you don’t like it quit buying from us. 3 separate calls. I asked why there is no solution, no answer. I asked is the an SB on the stress cracked clips, send a picture no answer. Asked if they changed the dimensions of the bushes because they are now shorter and thicker, no answer, I pushed on this one and he finally said that’s way above my pay grade. Asked what is the color code for the gray graphite paint for touchup, told just buy a can of Rustoleum black, but it’s gray sir…black works fine.
Well I probably could have used cayenne pepper. I’d used some colored filler to use as a guide coat while leveling. Last thing I did was dust it with a black primer so I could see where I needed to back off on sanding. If you can gut all your plumbing on your tank and the work you’ve done so far the dash is easy. I elected to do all the labor and took my spare vinyl and drop at shop. They will put a few nice seams on the lip and sides. You’re a garage guy like me Will, totally worth putting on the bench with some good 80s music on and get after it. Good stuff
