TENDRIL Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 so i went to do the front suspension, and ran into an issuse with the tc rod area, did some engine bay prep aswell also will be ordering some susp. parts (bushings, ball joints and some misc. stuff) Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Never saw that area of the T/C rod, must of been more focused on everything else. I will hook you up with good solid t/c rod mounts next time I see ya. just cut'em off a donner car. i might be flying through your area on Monday. I will know by the weekend. Your making great progress, nice to see another Datsun will be back on the road Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 can some one throw me a bone on how to fix the t/c rod mount? ive got a buddy that is coming over friday, im sure he will know what to do but still i wouldnt mind some feed back here , should i grind the lip (torn metal) and hammer the mount up to the frame rail and weld? or hammer it to the lip that is torn and just weld it ... :huh: Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I would jack it up in to place clean and weld it. Then run a fish plate over it binding both sides Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Just weld up the TC rod stuff, no biggie. The thing on the firewall is useless unless your car is stock, toss it. Any good auto paint place can match paint. Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 goon update! all new brakeline tubing GAWWRR that was a bitch! haha so question about the whole setup all the fluid is to all the wheels, bled and tight! but as i pump the brakes it builds pressure and holds like brakes should but as i leave the pedal be, it loses all pressure and my buddy says theres a whisp noise coming from the booster, no fluid leaking from any of the lines or the booster double checked that about five times hehe, could the membrane be busted? or is there a gasket where the booster and fluid cyl. meet that could be bad?

TENDRIL Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 and some pics of the freshly painted motor! on a ratsun motor stand of course :rolleyes: and one of the pup Quote Link to comment
