Re: Ratchet's Blazer - 1970 2wd with Original paint

Ran into an issue last night with the pad abutment bracket contacting the rotor. Fortunately, I know some awesome guys, so I had some spacers machined to fix the problem!

I have washers stacked holding that black pad abutment bracket in the correct position, but here's a pic of the spacers that Chris made for me that I am about to go pick up. These freakin' rotors are huge!

I couldn't figure out why my panhard bar adjustment changed after I put in the pinion shims to raise the pinion 3 degrees, until today. After moving the axle back and adding the pinion shims, my diff cover actually hit the panhard bar and tweaked it a bit. So I ripped it out and stole the No Limit panhard bar off of my other truck. I've got it most of the way in and it looks like it is going to work, and as an added benefit, the bar is much more level at ride height. I'll get some pics of it later.
