The ability to stop was a scary thing. Braking had to be planned 500 meters in advance.

 

Looks like the same kit we used on the Econoline van. Definitely was a huge upgrade on it, but we are still using a manual master. 

[Mattndew76]

Might be the same kit. Seems several companies rebrand this kit at different prices.

 

im mostly meh about it. I still haven’t gotten my replacement parts yet. I’ll give it until Monday before I call them back.

GM Metric Caliper and some kind of Grand Cherokee rotor? 

[Mattndew76]

F250 calipers and I have no idea what the rotors are from.

Huh... They look just like the GM Metric calipers in our kit? Maybe Ford just used the same design?

Just now noticed another difference though. Our rotors are slip fit reusing the stock hubs, but yours appears to be hub/rotor all in one like most '70s domestics.

Might be a good idea to find out now, in case you ever need one later.  ?

I'm pretty sure they are from Ford 150. Ford used this type of assembly way up into the 1990's

Yeah, my 97 F250 has single piece hub/rotor

Looks like the html [] don't work on the link either

 

It works if you copy paste the image itself though.

So odd

Finished my heater hoses

[Draker]

Looks great!

[Mattndew76]

I made another part and opened my carpet..

 

LMC has this carpet listed and shown as Finished Molded carpet... it’s Uncut and semi molded. 👎🏻

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not looking forward  to trimming and sewing the welting onto the fringe of this carpet. 

 

Gotta add snaps or what would you guys do for a removable carpet? Fastener types.

Really heavy duty magnet tape

[Mattndew76]

So far Neodymium magnets are the pick. I purchased a box of the ( .25 x .50 x 1.0 ). I can sew or glue these to the back  in key areas. 

 

For now I am getting some card stock to do a cut template I can trace on the carpet. 

 

I installed the power steering pump last night, but found that it sits too close to the inner fender. Time to add another item to list for CNC items.

Love the tank filler. 

[Lockleaf]

I feel a bit dumb.  I had to stare at those pictures for a disappointing amount of time before i figured out what was going on there.  Very nice.  I like it.

[Mattndew76]

Made a floor column plate. Just have to make the gasket collar.

 

[Mattndew76]

I fixed the issue with the pump pulley hitting the fender.
