Will do!  Do you know off hand if the vacuum fittings are the same thread as the fuel lines?

Thanks for the input!  After search far and wide on the internet I figured I would have to make them myself.  I�ll check NAPA out this weekend.  I would imagine they will have the bender and flaring tools as well.

Thanks again for the information.

I�m working on my CJ3A wiper system.� I have found the �modifications� to it interesting at best.� I am going to reinstall the fuel/vacuum boost pump but the plumbing has been modified beyond repair. Is it possible to purchase the tubing for the vacuum boost pump or is it something I will have to manufacture myself.

Chassis, brakes and suspension. / Swaging rear studs

« on: April 07, 2019, 07:44:55 PM »

So I have figured out the removal process for removing the studs from the rear hubs/drums... the hard way of course.

My question is; is it necessary to swage the new studs back in?

There is a lot of discussion about removing studs/swage, but nothing about reinstallation that I can find.

Hello!  Looking forward to getting to know the group and learning from you experience. 

I recenly inherited a 1949 CJ3A from my dad.  Ive always enjoyed messing with it so he gave it to me to restore.  Its in pretty good shape but needs some love and improvements.  My plan is to restore it close to original with the exception of some safety upgrades.

I am an aircraft mechanic by trade but I haven�t worked with cars much so I figure I have some to learn from you guys.
