Fixed some brake line stuff. FordFascist came over and pointed some things out I was overlooking like ‘your brake lines will get ripped off by your tires’ and ‘your cooling issue could be a fluid problem.’ Amazingly helpful and I’m greatful for the info.
I went the ‘quick and easy because maybe this will work’ way instead of the other way we discussed because I could try this without buying more stuff. It might work.
Previous photos show the slider was resting on the stop nuts. He instead you knew how the ride was while driving and told me it should be an inch apart. It’s currently 2 because I added a full inch of preload.
4” shaft showing now instead of 5. Less roll while turning too.
Brake tab location test 1. We’d discussed moving it in front of the shock tower.
Ruffstuff reservoir mounts. I don’t know if this will clear bigger and wider tires. I overwelded these.
I forced my alignment. I was about 3/16 to OUT. I made the angle iron level, measured 10” from those two studs and used identical tape measures to get the alignment. Yes I bought tape measures with fractional markings on it. It required less thinking at this moment. Thinking made it wrong the first time.
So now I just need limit strap, bump stops and a front drive shaft, I THINK, to be 100% ready to wheel.
