Looking good so far .

All i would say is with the calipers mounted at that angle you will have to take the caliper off to bleed it. Which can be a bit of a pain in the arse, especially as you will also have to do the same with the vit calipers on the front.

yeah it will be a bit of a pain, the trouble is if i mount them dead upright, there is a chance it will hit the Bumpstop perch on the chassis, clears on normal up and down movement but would get dangerously close on full twist.

Not a problem, dont bleed the brakes that often anyway and with Discs will need a lot less attention :-)

Wow u have spent quite a bit this year to ur sj
Looks good soon I might rebuild my calipers as the drivers side one is sticking

Nice work those new wheels and boots look spot on

Thanks Guys, the old bank/vredit card has taken a whack, but when i look back over the pst 2 years of ownership, have spent very little on Maintaining it so the way i see it is this might mean another 2 years of trouble free (ISH) motoring

the wheels i think i am going to paint, (just the centers) black

If i knew how to use photoshop i would show an example but i thnk hey work well, should be a little easier on my wheel bearings as well due to being wider and not just offset.

Looking it good bud!

thats right bud, just the one spring for that money, even so, still not a bad price, and although i still havent tested them, seem pretty good and quite pliable already

well, seeing as I am here, might as well throw an update up.

had a lot of other things happening recently so not a lot of work has gone on, however, i did finally get round to fitting both rear disc's and calipers, fitted the rear hoses and mounted them, and also have now run all but 1 brake line.



there it is, calliper had to go here, as if it went straight up would hit the Bump stop on twist.



here is a manual adjustable bias valve, it is a bit further along from this picture, exiting the valve it goes to a t peice, then from there 1 brake line to each rear wheel, the reason for this is that i want to fit fiddle brakes.

so now it is back on 4 wheels again, i refitted all the dash ran some wiring, and still have a few more to do, but it is back together again with its Sammy dash and new switch panel.

also managed to get a Lovely SU manifold from Mike Harris, a good used SU from the bay, and a free donated genuine K&N filter for the su as well, with any luck, i should finish off the brakes this weekend, and maybe make a start on the floor pans, then MOT time.

thanks for watching, you've been great

Tidy stuff
