[QUOTE="onetoncrawler, post: 193614, member: 846"] Got the tires and wheels mounted up [IMG]http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/1toncrwlr/defender%20buggy/d19a65ed.jpg[/IMG] Started on the rear at home, cut off all the old mounts and ground everything smooth in preparation for the 4 link tabs and truss Stripped the old drum brakes off the rear hubs, cleaned them up and put in new bearings and seals – then pressed the spidertrax hats onto the back of the hubs using new studs, this allows the rotor to line up close to the flange on the 14 bolt. Should be able to make a simple bolt on caliper bracket. [IMG]http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/1toncrwlr/defender%20buggy/brakes-2.jpg[/IMG] Also got the motor stripped of the wiring harness and exhaust manifolds – test fit the new headers and installed the kevco oil pan and pickup [IMG]http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/1toncrwlr/defender%20buggy/eff22c8f.jpg[/IMG] I hated the dipstick that came with the Kevco pan so I ordered some Lokar Locking dipsticks and get them installed. The oil dipstick screws right into the pan and the transmission dipstick has a lock nut on the inside of the pan to hold it in place. [/QUOTE]
