sure...move to so cal..lol

 

Got my booster/MC swap done today. For those of you looking for the renix era booster swap. A booster and mc out of a 96 is almost a bolt in.

Now for the non bolt in part.

I ground out the rod end, replacment is too small for the brake switch. I did it with a die grinder, you could use a drill bit(5/8) but i didn't have one, so die grinder it was.
once the right size was achieved...i welded a "flat" on the back of the rod and ground it flat. the dlat keeps the brake switch from rotating out of position.

rod before


rod after


booster installed



now, the m/c uses metric bubble flares, and the porp. valve uses standard double flare. You can use adapters, but it just addes a place for it to leak. To solve this, i bought some metric bubble flare line(about 12") bubble both ends, cut it in half so i had the bubbles..the swapped in the fittings and just did a double flare like factory at the porp valve

flaring the lines

 

I also got some of theses little gems! 703 injectors, i big thanks to programbo for the super fast shipping and good looking parts.



I got them installed with the new inake gaskets and what not, but still have alot of wiring and stuff to clean up under the hood before i can run it.

Thanks for having a look.

 

Haha nah too much tree huggin and crap for me. But your rig does look good though!

 

I feel that pain... I made the mistake of running 19's on the G37 because of the CA roads around here... didn't realize that the 19" shoes ran more than 20's in my size!

 

got the stiffeners built around the rear spring perch.



also added some ange to the sliders, welded to the sliders, and then bolted through the pinch seam..

 

started the home brew shackle relocation brakets

here is the "base plate"


then burned on the mounting plates



some how i forgot to take i pic of the "stud" that goes into the original braket, but its 2.5x2.5 .250 wall.

all painted and installed





still need new shackels..looking for some 1.5"

 

also finished modifiying the rock rails

 

springs and cutom shackles installed.

Wow man looks good! I wish I had the know-how to build my own stuff... I am stuck with buying it for 15x as much as it is worth lol. Keep it up!

 

Lookin' good man, those weld beads are beautiful....@Ianf406: I used to say the same thing, then started spending that money on tools instead, didn't take long to outgrow my garage...it is a sickness...

 

Haha I am sure it is... I just havent had a garage for alooong time. (I just got out of the Army in June, now waiting on my wife to get out b4 we get a house) Stuck to wrenching in the parking lot haha. Another year or so I am sure I'll catch the sickness.
