hey russell-we think alike.
the rest of her old tube was fine, but the drain plug was becoming difficult- so much of it was ground away!
i made up some sacrificial skin to thicken the bottom.....

and stiched it on.

after i flail around at it with a grinder for awhile, i'll add another smaller layer - bring it up to grade.
interested in how these larger rear brakes could work. everything always felt kinda weak back there.

weather has conflicted w/suzitime, but the axle is complete.
in little bits, the brake plumbing and cables are going together, and i have decided to replace the front brake hoses.
30yrs. could be pushing it, and caps510 showed us what losing a front brakehose can be like- on the last sierra carnage run!
anyway- mabe suzi the psychic will take me to work next week. testrun.
i can smell the season, and want to be ready.
looking forward.

kinda wet, but i was seeing the possibility...ÔÇª.
finished the plumbing and bled out all the old brake fluid, and put her shoes back on.

bent the stock brake lines to run higher across the tube- used to be right across the back. mabe a bit less exposed.
gonna street her in the am- see if i tightened everything.

been having only bits of time recently, but suzi gets tickled when possible.
a couple of years ago she suffered some of fordyce, and destroyed one of the right side bodymounts.
the left side showed signs of similar failure, but i only fixed the "broken" one.
mabe i can make a neater repair this time.
i should take som pics...ÔÇª mabe this weekend.

i hope it will take abuse better than the stock xmember, and help align the driveline better- still have to adapt the skidplate(s) to the new arrangement, but it'll happen.

this is the left bodymount(under drivers feet) that finished tearing off last season.

gonna metalglue some stiffener/mount stuff in there....

OUCH! Looks like Suzi has a booboo. She must be a pretty tough girl'. We don't have much for rocks to crawl around on here in Kansas. Can be had in any direction but north, but it takes a minimum of 5 hrs. I'm interested in seeing how you do the repair so keep up the pictures (please).
