- Suspension fit test, Pedal Assembly, Brakes and more Moog
Just test fitting the front suspension pieces to make sure
things will go back easily. Yellow Monroe shocks will go away shortly.
Just used them to line up things.
All seems fine from the test fit. I can see that the roller perches
are going to be fun getting shock nuts on even with the major dents in the
tube though.
This view shows the eccentric eliminators in place. It appears that
these are going to be fun to make changes to once everything is buttoned
up so I hope to get things close alignment wise when the final install
goes in.
Decided to clean up the clutch/brake pedal assembly to start planning a clutch solution.
I have decided I am going with a home brew hydraulic setup using the CNC
cylinders. I've checked and re-checked and it appears the cylinder will
fit right where where the old clutch linkage is supposed to go through.
Parts are ordered so we'll find out soon.
Went ahead and purchased a rebuilt power brake booster and master
cylinder and some brake line. This was $109 for the combo from the local
Oreilly Auto store while similar setups are $225+ through Mustang
specialty sites. I am not seeing the difference myself as most say they
are rebuilds as well. Obviously needs clean up and paint but that will
come after getting brake lines routed.
I am still debating on a Randall Rack and Pinion or going back with a
rebuilt steering box. It is very likely I'll go back with the box at first
and then plan on a rack upgrade if I'm unhappy with the standard setup. In
any manner I needed inner and outer tie rod ends so here they are. I had
to use 70+ outers due to the big bearing spindles but have a 69 center
link so inners are 69.
