Thanks Rylee.

One of the nuts for the mounting bracket on the front snapped off. It should be loads of fun getting the stud out to be able to use a new bolt.

After searching for countless hours I finally stumbled across this new old stock set for an XJ. The fronts were missing one of the brackets and the hardware, but the rears had everything. I will be installing them this weekend. I plan to replicate the front bracket and I am going to attempt to use the rear brackets for the XJ using some inspiration I got from the many articles on this site. Here is the eye candy....

Thanks for the response. I don't think I am getting ant hardware with the flaps so I would like to find a set mounting brackets for the fronts as well. Chris

Hello, I just scored a set of NOS XJ mud flaps and would like to locate a set of the rear MJ mounting brackets. I am trying to keep the truck stock as mush as possible. I know Krusty doesn’t make them anymore, I was just fishing to see if someone has a set they would let go or if there is a pattern that is available for me to make them myself. Thanks Chris

Sorry Jason. My bad. I didn't think to check if there is a wanted section. Can you move the post there for me? Thanks Chris

Hello all, I am looking for a set of seat belt plastic sheaths for my Comanche with a Charcoal Gray bench seat. Number 5 and 6 in the parts diagram. Just the sheaths will do. Also if anyone knows of a source to get them NOS. Thanks, Chris

Cruise Control Vacuum Line rounting?

Thanks. The final step at the end was to cut the fuel line to length and install the factory vacuum line onto it. -
Cruise Control Vacuum Line rounting?
C1111toro replied to C1111toro's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
SOLVED! FUNCTIONING! I tested my repair with the drilled out jet today and it was a fail. I decided to take the Servo off and take it apart. The plastic 90 degree vacuum fitting that exists the plastic Servo housing had broken off further inside the housing than I had expected. My fix was to use a Dremel with a mini cut of wheel to reshape the 90 degree plastic fitting that is in the housing. I then used some chainsaw fuel line. I heated up the end just enough to get it to fit onto the newly formed nipple. The fuel line which is now an air line exits the Servo through the pre-existing hole that the factory plastic 90 degree fitting existed. The fuel lines exterior diameter was a perfect match for the black vacuum line to fit over and seal. I hope this helps everyone. Please feel free to ask any questions. Check out the pics. -

I took a jet from a carburetor that I had and drilled it out with 1/8 drill bit(the pic of the jet is prior to drilling out with 1/8 bit). Then I used a 11/64 drill bit to drill out the plastic opening in the servo. I then self tapped the brass jet into the plastic. Worked like a charm. I will test it tomorrow: -

Thank you guys! You were both correct. eaglescout526 You da man! It was the vacuum line attached to the stud on the firewall. I just need to repair the servo where the plastic nipple was to reattach the line. I'll try to find a tiny brass fitting that will self tap itself into the plastic body of the servo. If not I will source some smaller diameter hard line to make a coupler. Two thumbs up! Thanks again, Chris -

Thanks. So should I disregard the first photo of my servo that appears to be damaged? It appears as though the vacuum line was attached there at one point. I don’t know, I just asking. I appreciate everyones advice. -

Hi Everyone, I’m trying to get my cruise control working again. I just bought my first Comanche in Nov. 19. I have done all the electrical tests and it seems like everything checks out ok. Then I noticed that my servo is missing a vacuum line. I cannot find the line. Could someone please upload a photo that shows where the smaller vacuum line originates? I have an 89 4.0. Here is a pic of my truck along with a close up of my servo as well as another photo that I sourced from Comanche Club showing the smaller vacuum line in question.
