CWLONGSHOT Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 As far as the hydraulic brakes. you can just hook up, bleed and go. A disc brake MC would be nice but not necesary. As to the Emergency brakes. They are actuated with a lever. In my TJ (W/8.8 ) I had a buddie fashion me two pieces of steel with a slot for the lever, and a hole drilled thru for the cable. I used my factory cables, cut the ends off. Pushed them thru the hole and put that slot over the lever. I drilled and tapped a couple holes for set screws to hold everything tight. Hard to describe on line and I cannot seem to find my pics.... :oops: Good luck, CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokhound Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I just did mine and it looks ok the drive shaft offset to the passenger side, and I have seen no issues but then again I don’t have mine all the way done ether. But as far as I can tell there is no issue. If you search this there has been a lot of talk about the 8.8 lately must be something in the water.:nuts: But yeah just set you pinion angle at what you want and weld on some spring perches and there you go.

Yet Scott's Isuzu swap is what intrigues me :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minute Offset won't hurt anything. We have a master cylinder mod that you may be interested in after you get it all done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
