Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build

Got the correct upper ball joints yesterday and finished up my drop spindle/disc brake install. I didnt have the correct disc brake 15" wheels so I went with a 1/4" spacer and some gentle grinding on the calipers to clear. Still have to work on running new brake lines and figure out the master cylinder. I put it on the other day and the pedal wouldnt even move when I tried to pump it today...not sure what I got bound up. Anything to look out for when installing?

Not sure how everyone else does it, but I found it helpful to cut a line all the way through the ball joint between the rivets and the grease fitting when removing them. I could take it out in sections with a chisel instead of tryin to tap the rivets through which wasnt working for me at all.

And a couple pics of the brakes installed and the new stance. I'm really pleased where its settin now!
