Well...I started for the half a truck with the camper van and trailer in tow. When on the four lane a gowing moan continued and kept getting worse. At first I thought it was the tires on the road but as the road changed the roar kept getting louder. SO 2 hours out I turned around and limped home. Not sure if it is a wheel bearing or universal or something worse. Bad day

Modified my brake box last night so i will go less over center.. should help quite a bit.. then coated it in cast blast.. love that paint

P.S. and welding without a helmet always comes out soo nice "but it's just some quick tacks"

What exactly did you do there Ice ?? Move the swing shaft up ??
 
The Indiana Fever gals won last night by 1. Must have been some game. They played LA, the game started at 9pm Central time and was on a couple obscure network I don't get. Heck, I was in bed by 9:15. LOL Wish I could have seen that one.

Down and back a bit.. which gives me a bit more angle on the MC pushrod.. It's a mod from when i built my FFR Cobra... makes a massive difference in brake pressure on a manual system, when you go over center you lose a ton of pushing power.. I also changed my ratio from 6:1 to 7.25:1...

This is a cobra one... we would move the upper pivot then cut/bend and reweld the brake pedal to get the height back to normal which i will have to do once i get it in the car and see where it ends up
