Yeah, the 99+ knuckle looks closer though I'm not sure how close they actually are.
Makes sense on the arm. I might do something if I get around to it. For now it should be fine as is. It isn't doing a whole lot.
Got some more work done on her. Jumping around a bit, I finished the disc brake brackets for the rear axle. These were weld ons from Barnes 4WD. They weren't even close to working as is. Had to cut them, modify them some and weld it all back together. They do make a bolt on kit but I doubt they'd work with these rotors. Rotors used were standard disc rotors for the 76+ Bronco. Calipers were 3/4 ton Chevy 2wd pickup from 75 to mid 80's. They're single piston but the pistons are pretty big.
While there, I pressed in the grease seals for the rear hubs and bolted the hubs down using new 4 slot style hub nuts. The retainer that goes between the nuts needed to have the 4 ears ground off, per the picture. There is 1 as packaged with the ears on it and one that I had modified already as well as the part number. These are just standard D60 axle parts. They thread right on the 14 bolt axle.
As well is a sneak peek at the new shoes. Found some 37" military MTR's and bought some cheap steelies from Summit Racing.
Sorry, for some reason pics are way out of order. The 5th pic shows what I started out with.
