Re: Questions about steelies

Great. Thanks for the quick answer. I know where some are. Wheels anyway. Caps are hard to find.

Looking good! Did I miss something? This is the first I've seen the steelies with the caps installed

You've been busy man. That's great. I'd love to hear how the brake booster went.

How did the dash turn out? It made a huge difference when I did mine

Re: Questions about steelies

Super easy. Took like 30 minutes and now it stops like my Vette. Got the booster from a board member for a couple bucks. Never knew power drum/drum could stop like it does for sure. And the pedel is so much more friendly and smooth when applying. Very responsive.

Was as simple as unbolting pedal. Unbolting Master Cylinder and pulling it forward. Bolt in booster. Bolt up rod to pedal. Bolt master cylinder onto booster. Hood up vacuum line to booster. No bleeding or anything involved.

That is so great to hear. So, did you ditch the idea of the booster from Autozone then?

Absolutley. Much cheaper from donor truck and figured I would give it a go. Now I must say it is the best investment I have made to date.

I'm out and about looking for a 700r4 now. I really need to tame the 4.11 gears in the back.
