    IF put back in proper order the stock linkage works just fine, except it may bind in extreme frame flex conditions usually only...

  5. Oldpappy replied to the thread Front Wheel Backer Bolts Thread Sealer.

    That sounds about right, and is easy to go beyond that which is why so many get torqued to the point of stripping the threads. The...

    Nice clean work, good job! Blue Loctite on the threads is enough, be careful not to over tighten the bolts they are going int rather...

    What are you calling "Backer plates" ? If you mean brake "backing plates" I use blue Loctite on the bolts.

  8. Oldpappy replied to the thread Am I Crazy? 1966 Cj5 W/ Buick Transmission Woes - Sm465 Swap.

    You are not "crazy" at least not yet. You are showing the first signs of J.A.S. (Jeep Acquisition Syndrome) which if left untreated can...

  10. Oldpappy replied to the thread 304 Cylinder Head Gasket Opinions Please.

    I think you are over thinking this. That much difference in thickness is not likely to cause a problem, and as Oz says the valley pan...

  11. Oldpappy replied to the thread Changing Steering Column To Use Original Wheel.

  12. Oldpappy replied to the thread Steering Bellcrank Ball Loose.

    I would make the same guess. Never saw one like that. Retirement is certainly not overrated, I wish I had done it years before I did. I...

    Joe DeYoung, who is a member on the CJ2A page, and one heck of a machinist, makes tools and things and also rebuilds these bell cranks....

  15. Oldpappy replied to the thread Body Alignment.

    That sure should get the job done. I like a tire carrier supported by the frame much better than the old aftermarket carriers that...
