Rear flex brake line is not in nor are rear banjo bolts.


I broke a spring shoe steadying on the rear brakes (J spring) if anyone has an extra, pls.

Also would like a count on how many threads show on rack both sides pls, for a starter fit.

I'm tired.

Stunning work Jack.
Beautiful. My hat is tipped.

Looks great Jack - nice work!

Glitch Number 2, Jack. You've got the trunnions on backwards. Hence the massive amount of positive camber.

[jlaird]

Really, they go on the front?? Gesh, easy fix. Tomorrow. Wondered about the camber but it has been so long.

Wait, you said backwards, how in the world. Oh the swivel pin goes on the inside, of course.

 

[Bugeye58]

Jack, the portion of the trunnion that the shock attaches to goes toward the spindle, kingpin inboard.
It's an easy mistake to make, and is really obvious.
No harm, no foul. Keep up the excellent work.

Obscenely clean. NICE!

 

[LeeMcKee]

Very Nice! It's all downhill from here!

Glitch 3, just realized I left a copper washer out of the pass side brake line. Hehe. Oh well, again, easy fix.

 

[Bugeye58]

Teething pains, Jack. Go man, go!

You'd think at my age I could do it right the first time.

My fingers are so sore, guess they are not use to all that.

 

[drooartz]

Woohoo! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I think you've got a real car there, Jack. Nice work.

[jlaird]

Got em on correctly now. hehe.

Also put the copper washer on the pass side flex line, not sure how I forgot that.

Aligned by eye the front end. I know, engine needs to be in but it is closeish.
