Pinion brake

These were done with a homebuilt bracket and rotor spacer - the parts are 1980's eldo rear discs and calipers - note the two piece lower caliper bolt (cool huh)

Door bars

I used some 316 stainless for the slider and then a captured spring in the piece of capped rectangular tube...

Rear Steer Valve Mount

I managed to get a pretty nice parker D03 valve off ebay for ~30$ so after finding the right adapter plate I came up with a mount that sits right under the edge of the driver seat on the tunnel...

The base plate has a nice dimpled speed hole and is off the tunnel on some little standoffs for water and crap clearence - the back side off the mount is ported for the manifold and it turned out pretty rock solid tapped into the tunnel...

The big frame next to it is the mount for the active rear suspension rams and the rear hydraulic winch I built from a hydro motor (more pics later) :rolleyes:
