Exhaust and brakes
Been quietly plodding away on the Jeep still though haven't had the camera out there for a while so no posts. I've made up some roll cage mounts off of the chassis behind where the seats will mount and rebuilt the water pump with an omix kit. I've also fitted Toyota MR2 rear brake calipers and Suzuki Vitara rotors to the rear of the Jeep to make it 4 wheel disc braked and also the MR2 calipers provide a decent mechanical handbrake. Overall a pretty straight forward conversion with help from Don in designing the caliper brackets that bolt on to the stub axle flange. I've also had a crack at making the headers which has been a learning experience. I had to modify the front plate of the motor to fit my fuel pump in first so I had everything in that was going to be in the way. You can see in the picture below, the lower diaphragm (vacuum wipers) slots into the plate. Don had me draw up the flanges and get them laser cut at the same time as the caliper brack
