What have you done to your square lately??

[etc86]

Me and a mate swapped out my trans Mount to something a little sturdier. Don’t mind the self lubricating underside, it’s sweating power and anti-seizing the hardware keeping it together.

Might remove the birds nest behind the grill next.

I like the powder coated yellow springs, nice touch.

Well, that’s bada$$ if I do say so myself. But will they leak oil? Probably.

Probably a silly question, but what makes that style better? Less wear? Better feel?

Tires came today

guessing you mount them yourself? Been a couple years, but tires/shipping then paying someone to mount them is about the same locally. Of course I'm in BFE SE KY.

Less play in the steering and this one has a good bit. Probably just a start of corrections.

Yup. Eliminates the rag joint and associated slop of the rest of it. Gives a more road like feel. Combine that with some steering box reinforcements and look out, NASCAR...

While I appreciate the “charm” of the steering slop I may have to look into that… thanks for the info!

Full front brake job. The only thing I reused was the wheel bearings, and only after a good cleaning and repacking. So new pads, calipers, rotors, hoses, and I even bought 16 new lug nuts. A couple of them were pretty tight when I'd pulled them off and on in the past and I figured with new rotors came new studs, and I should put new nuts on those studs. Now they all run on and off properly.

I was given an old set of Raybestos pads for the truck a few years ago from a friend who found them cleaning out his garage. They are PG plus line and are riveted. As I was installing them I thought that I could not remember the last time I ordered brake pads and was offered Raybestos. Not sure when the last time was I saw new riveted pads either. Anyone know if Raybestos still around?

Oh and it was cool out this morning and I had to flip on the defrosters this morning I thought I smelled a little coolant. Confirmed trace amounts of coolant on the heater box so I'll be doing that on Monday I suppose.....

Nice work. And I know that I still see Raybestos on Rock Auto but have no idea if they are who they were in the past. But, riveted pads? Boy, those have been around for a little while!

Also, I think we were conversing about fan clutch as a while back and you were looking for an update. Well, it’s doing just fine. Have a good day, man.
