SOA a La tica

[animaldevictor]

John thanks for the advice, yes actually the point of builtding the double steering arm a like just for a while until i get the money and the means to get the high steer from 4X4 labs or some where else , i was also wandering , well go to my friend the machinist and ask him if it´s also able to made the hight steering arms here, well i think if that costme the same than getting the high steer in US and shiping down to Costa Rica, but in the mean time i have mede reenforcements to the double arm, at least to last me enough to get the others later

Guys , needs another opnion!!!, when you made the SOA , an also planing to put a very nice power steering, based on your experience whats the best option, a saginaw box or put the toy minitruck, i have already a saginaw out from a cheroke comanche, but i have figure out that is a little complicated to place the linkage , in other hand is it true that saginaw is normally stronger than toy minitruck, that will be some to consider

thanks

 

[RHINO]

saginaw is good if you already have one then do it. i did a mini truck and it worked pretty good but i have now FJ60 and it is great!!

 

[animaldevictor]

mean while, the other parts are starting to get on chape, on the body an paint are finally working
but i think there is more rust than i have espected

 

[animaldevictor]

the resto process is goin slow, new job no time to get into, and the guys from the body&paint shop are also to I hope i Will get the paint job done by the end of the month, well at least still going

 

[RHINO]

slow is better than nothing at all,,,, what you are getting done is looking good.

ok back to work, on the SOA that i am planing to my Pig i want to use as much OEm part as I can, when i was taking out the front axle I check the shackles and it simzs to be that they are no wormout, as I tough


takes a little time to drill the hole and change the old shackles in something that you can really reuse

 

[zuluzeugma]

Greaseable shackle pins are worth the time. I made my own too, however, I used grade 8 bolts. Needless to say, I went through a couple drill bits...

Looking good dude.

and here the first steering locations ideas



this is a BJ60 steering box japanese version (right side) I have found that location is a little far back but very clean and easy to install the only thing is we have to move the bumpstop 2 inches back

 

[animaldevictor]

Well back to work !!!!
today I have finish painting the rims of the pig, already put tires on 3 of them



I also need some help I am looking for 2 caps for the front wheel with the hole for the hubs, if some one has 2 that dont need, please send me an email to victor@eurobungy.com
