    Wow. The drivelines and 205 parking brake are super cool. Excellent choices all around.

    Oh, what are the specs on your rear shaft, and how much length did parking brake add to your 205? Also, why go with that over the rear disk e-brake? Not second guessing you, just curious since I'll be making the same calls in the future.

    He's got about -.25". Spacers are required. But at least the tie rod is too long.

    Dave needs to post a pic of the brake line uterus. Its my finest bit of tube bending.

    that sounds like a good deal scott, you would only have to make 5 or 6 bends, mark would be making like 27 bends, and he would have to flare lines, PITA...

    Fun weekend...

    Well, I have to thank Mark and Brandon again for all of the help. Even Tate came out and helped for a while. Thanks Johnathan.


    This weekend was mostly finishing up some of the things from last weekend. The main new development was learning that we could run 42s with just a spring over. No body lift...

    .. I'll give you a hint.




    Mark's World Famous Braking Uterus.




    Hydroboost mounted. Thanks to Brandon on this design.




    More pics on the site. Also check this out...

    Looks great Dave! Never thought about hydroboost....sure saves a lot of firewall space. Was that clutch master clean enough to use or did you rebuild it already?

    I didn't rebuild it.... yet. We'll see if it holds. On the tcase mount, it's from High Angle Driveline. There's more details on my site.

    My money is on Scott. I still have a lot of house projects going on that are going to be getting some love in the near future. I feel like I've been moving at break neck speed on the Cruiser progress lately.
