« on: January 27, 2022, 12:47:07 AM »

Hello
In need  of L & R USED fender bracket braces. Actually I need just the bottom 4 or 5 inches of both brackets.  Maybe one of ya may have a bad fender or two that still has the bottom braces in good condition. Here is a URL LINK of a new replacement bracket below.
Thanks, JIM

Chassis, brakes and suspension. / Re: How to control the electric emergency brake after a rear disk conversion

« on: January 19, 2022, 10:28:22 PM »

check with Brennan.  I am going to install his Disc brake kit with electric E-brake's.  One can lock both sides with one switch, use two switches and lock them independently, or both.

 He is very helpful!!!

Chassis, brakes and suspension. / FRONT SHOCK MOUNT HELP

« on: January 19, 2022, 11:55:32 AM »

Hi All
I need to know how far out the shock mount post sticks out from the frame. My frame has no shock mounts on it.   I am going to use later style CJ mounts I have but there's no reference points for correct mounting. The main thing needed is how far out does the shock mount post stick out from the frame. I am able to find the shock mount "vertical center"
thanks Jim

Gearboxes and axles / Re: Gears too worn or replace?

you have the opportunity to upgrade to a T-90C trans gear set up which will give you a lower first and second gear.  you simply need to replace the input gear and cluster gear. Novak has a kit for it.

real long shot but seen it happen......check the spring U-bolts for tightness.   Diff might be shifting back and forth.   Or a broken spring center pin.

Redrockman - currently, the linkage is jerry-rigged. I have not be able to locate throttle linkage parts to rebuild. I have an accelerator cable running from the pedal to the throttle. I've only looked online, so if anyone has a line on a parts supplier, that'd be great.

JeepsterJim - how is the wedge shim oriented? My 3a is still a long way off from the dunes, but interested in the shim.

Also - what was your solution for the air horn? Would love to see any pictures of that!

Thanks

JeepsterJim - how is the wedge shim oriented?----I don't remember think I was around 12yrs old.  it was to help keep the float or float level stable when dune running.

Also - what was your solution for the air horn?---I believe Dad used one off of a "poojoe" well thats how it sounds lol  One of those ugly euro cars.  Search on the internet for this conversion.

Dad and I installed a F head in our 2A and we used the Falcon carb. We also made about a 3 degree wedge shim that fit between the card and intake. This helped to prevent flooding when dune jumping.    The performance was greatly noticed and so was the gas milage.

"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Re: Front pinion seal replacement

« on: August 19, 2011, 05:57:05 PM »

When I worked for a 4x4 shop years ago, the owner, who was a willys "Jeep" mechanic,  made us use a center punch and mark the pinion shaft, the nut, and even the yoke so ALL parts could be assemble as was.  We would have to count how many revelutions it took to remove the nut. Once the seal was replaced, the yoke put back on, we once again had to count the nut as we threaded it back on.  Also, he would have us put a little gasket sealer on the pinion shaft spline and yoke spline when putting the yoke back in place.  The sealer was used to keep oil from coming out of the shaft/yoke.

Nuts huh?     But I never had a come back.
