Looking good!

Installed the electric parking brake today, I searched the forums to see how everyone was mounting the actuator but couldn't find any pictures on how everyone was doing so, So hers a pic if anyone needed for the future. I made a bracket for it to sit into and mount to the frame and put a clamp on the front to stabilize it. works really well, thanks bam55 for the idea and help you gave me.

Question: You made changes to the cross member on chassis from the beginning and I wonder what prompted them (want to learn). Also, what are these brackets going to be used for - exhaust hangers?

**slammed57** · 12-01-2020, 05:00 PM

Hey bud thanks for asking, the first one that is labeled (different) is used to stiffen up the frame to help strengthen the frame ( to help keep from a twisting movement).. I cant take credit for it , I borrowed the Idea from Art Morrison frames . the other (what are these for ) label , I have a T56 transmission which its tranny mount is way towards the rear , so if i ever have to pull the motor out with out the transmission I would need to to use something to support the tranny , most people use another jack or wooden blocks to support it to keep the tranny from hanging down and putting all that stress on the rear tranny mount. I just added those little mounts and build a brace that I can put in and take out to make it easier to help for support.... some people will say just pull the motor and tranny out as one unit which works , but its also a large mass to move around and trying not to band up against the truck causing dents and scratches.

does it come as a facial? I could use some of that. haha.

looking good. keep those pics rolling in, we all like to see them. it gets us inspired again.

got inspired. went to the bolt supply place yesterday with my 4 1/2 year old grandson. covid restrictions in the place so masks, hand sanitizer etc. the counter was actually taped off and there was a row of makeshift boxes as a barrier to getting too close. it took them awhile to pick the stainless fasteners but after a 140 dollar hit to the visa we were off. no, I didn't buy my grandson the 50 dollar flashlight he thought he needed but on the bright side he didn't break anything or knock over any displays. his eyes were wide open the whole time though and lots of questions. anyway, when I got home I realized I had only grabbed the bags off one of the boxes so I need to take another trip across town to pick up the ones I left sitting there on another box further over. my wife was like "so, you spend 140 bucks on bolts and washers and then leave 100 bucks worth of stuff in a bag sitting on a box in the showroom?" yup. oh well. I actually need more stuff anyway so it won't be a wasted trip. lol.

lol good story bud, as for the raptor liner theres really no control of the texture, I would have liked a more fine texture but it still looks decent. I only did 2 coats but even if you add more I belive it would look the same just mor mils thick
