Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392
My buddy can't do my re-gear until later this week, so Ive been twiddling my thumbs this weekend. Decided to weld tabs on the housing for brake lines and work on my E brake setup.
I hacked the hooks off the Explorer cables and welded them to my existing cable ends. Also used the Explorer springs after cutting about an inch off. I reamed the housings just a fuzz for the cables to go into it, but thought they went in too far. Drilled out a 5/8 nut with a 5/8 bit and it seemed to be the perfect spacers. Cleaned things up, welded the nut to the Explorer housing and then drillsd/tap for a 1/4 20 set screw to lick it in. I think it'll be fine..
Still on a desperate search for 15" large pattern Rallyes. I may forced to use these ancient Cragers outta the scrap pile lol
