Bring the lines if you want and certainly bring the jigs. The current lines are custom for sure. Just ordered calipers, pads and rubber lines for the front. Not sure if I need the calipers but the drivers side would not spin free with the wheel off the ground so for the money it will be good insurance. Has a Chevy conversion on the front I am pretty sure.

Look into the NiCopp brake line....I re did the expedition with a roll of that stuff. real easy to work with and flare. bends easily by hand, even tight bends. won't rust either...

Oh, I have your sheet metal at my house.

 

[tasker]

Pete, I ran this thread last fall to document a parts list from Autozone. It may help your shopping list, or at least get you in the zone for length needed.

If these are the rubber lines from the axle to the caliper, I bought them yesterday and they shipped this morning from Rock Auto. They are a Chevy line and not stock Ford. But thanks for the offer. If the are from the axle to the frame then I was just getting ready to order some. Has some amount of lift.

Art said he thought they would be easier to make so I bought the line and fittings already.

I bought a roll of the coated line but will see if Advance has inventory on this and will get some as well.

Will also swing by this weekend to get the sheet metal. (thanks)

Hank I will PM you as well but bring them and I will buy them from you. The rear calipers are exactly the same so I will use those lines on the back.

 

[fatboy]

Anyone coming have any rear tail lights? Unfortunately this one is running 66 and the passenger side is broken so if any of you have a spare passenger 66 lens, I am buying. ;D%)

 

[dave67fd]

Will a 71 and up fit? if so I have one.

 

[fatboy]

A 71 will work but I will need both if I go that route and I will likely have to make the back up lights work... Bring it for the fun of it and we can go from there.

I did just look them up and the are pretty cheap so if nothing shows up I will order one after the event in case I need to order an light sockets too.

I picked up the NiCu line (25 Ft) and I have a 25 Ft roll of the coated steel as a back up. Ordered new extended axle to frame lines from Suzy Duff as well so everything will be new except the rotors.

Dave and anyone else, neither D or P side light socket will accept a new bulb. I had to remove the old bulbs in a few pieces (glass and base) as they were jammed in. New 1157's will not lock in as I cannot depress them far enough for the pins to twist past the stops. And yes I put them in the right way tasker. ;D

There is simply no give in the wires, I need about 1/8" or less for it to work. If none are out there, no worries I will order them new from Suzy, just thought I would check first.

 

[Slednut10]

As you noticed, the sockets are not worth f---ing with especially since you can get new ones for short money. Solder and heat shrink the new ones in and forget about 'em. One less thing to piss you off later.

 

[dave67fd]

Pete,
I should have both lenses and sockets but will have to search around and see what I have. Probably have the trim rings as well. I'll let ya know.
