Better brakes for the LJ

[astjp2]

I think if I invert the calipers, while not optimal, would get them to clear.

Make sure the bleeder is the high point.

I just cut that off.

The banjo when installed will hit possibly, I need to install and see if the stop bolts leave turning radius with 33” tires

If you know how to bleed with them at the bottom, they don’t have to be up. Airplanes have the bleeders on the bottom so I am fine with that method too.

Closer to installing.

Yj hoses fit and caliper clears

Calipers just clear the flat of the rotor, now for wheel alignment, I did the plumb bob last time and led schwab said it was within spec for thrust alignment. So now I set the from yoke to .2* of from square of the driveshaft angle. The hp will give a little better castor. After alignment, it’s bleed the brakes and see if my wheels fit.

It's pretty awesome you're this close to done! 5 year upgrade documented here.

Yeah, the atlas front shaft being loose is messing with me morale wise. And the hemorrhaging money is really depressing on this go around.

Brakes clear the cheap Steele wheel 3.75 bs, 1/8” clearance.

Brakes work great going forward, can lock up the 33”bfg at, but in reverse the pedal gos to the floor? Not sure what’s going on with it there.

Calipers are hitting the banjo bolts, so I am going to flip the calipers and install extended dorman hoses.
