Clean fab on the front hangers. Me likum.
sunday night, my brother is getting married on saturday
chris that gear setup tool you showed sucks to use the one with the bearing disc is a lot easyer to use but is more expensive if your going to try and do it your self buy or make a set of setup bearings by honeing them out so that they slip on and off i can help sence i cant work after breaking my leg at x-mas i'm just sitten around house so just give me a call 979 820 2252 J&P do a good job and are fair on price also
I'm having J&P do the rear end at least, though I'm a little worried. I dropped it off three days ago, and explained to everyone there at the time that I just wanted the gears swapped out. They said they would be done friday morning at the latest. Called back this afternoon, and they hadn't touched it, and the guy on the phone said he had no idea what was supposed to be done with it :rolleyes: I mean, if you have a stripped down axle housing, and a new set of gears, bearing, shims, and other assorted crap, wouldn't it make sense to put them together?
Junior, thanks for the info. I may call you when I get the time to redo the front.
Bryan hoes is also 2 days behind the latest possible time they quoted me to have a set of rubber brake lines extended.
I'll grab them from you monday afternoonQuote:

Out of curiosity, I checked with 2 of the stores to see if they had the FJ-80 ends I always ran on my toyotas. Both had them in stock. I've also had problems getting my new master cylinder (79 chevy K20), and the lug nuts and studs for my D70.
i think i have a master chlinder that would work for you, its new, i never used it. you can check it out when you come to get those spacers
its because all of the domestic **** you wanted to use is old and outdated, get with it, either that or you are going to crappy part stores
napa and advance are the places I go, and the parts are standard stuff.
need a good source for stainless steel brakelines? speedwaymotors.com has them cheap. I'm using a set of 36" ones to run from the T-fitting (stock one stolen from my toy axle), to my calipers in the back. Even with the conversion fittings, it worked out being alot less than using rubber lines from the parts store. If I had known bryan hoes would have taken so long to rebuild and extend the stock front hoses for my D60, I may have just went with the speedway ones up there as well
you take the torch back yet?... less than two weeks and i cant break my lease for another year
I have been saying this for a year and a half.Quote:

finally, I think I will stay away from J&P from now on. Like I said before, they went over their quoted completion time big time. Not a big deal though. Then they called on monday with a story about how there were problems. Set the gears up anway. Called them today, to see if it was done, and they acted pissed I hadn't picked it up yet. They never told me they were done with it? The lady at the front desk said I never left any contact info, even though someone up there somehow knew my number to call me on monday. I just hope I didn't spend my money on a setup thats just gonna destroy itself in a few weeks
