We do a drum to disk brake conversion on Jason's 1st Gen Jimmy truggy using a complete kit from Ruff Stuff. Kit: www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/... Shop parts used on our projects on our Amazon store: www.amazon.com/Shop/UintaGarage
Can you guys tell me what size heli coil was used to repair the stripped bolt hole on the hub? I have a stripped bolt and planning on doing disk brakes going to kill 2 birds 1 stone! Thank you guys for the video
I've watched this video several times to see how you removed the 2 factory brackets on the emergency brake cable from the drum backing plate. It appears that they just magically disappeared 😊. I think I can get one of them off with a cutoff wheel but I don't know about the other one. I wish Ruffstuff would make an emergency cable for my truck ('80 Chevy K20) with the factory brackets removed and a bracket that I can weld on my differntial.
At 4:01 you can see the 2 bolt holes from the bolts that hold the cable bracket to the backing plate. We didn't film us removing them, but they were there. ;)
@@UintaGarage I saw that but I'd like to know how you removed the brackets (or bracket) without damaging the parking brake tube. Both the brackets on my truck are crimped onto the parking brake tube but the bracket on the outside of the backing plate is very thick metal. I'm doing this in my garage for fun. I discovered yesterday that the professionals that replaced my leaking pinion seal years ago cross threaded or over tightened a bunch of the 3/8" bolts that hold the differential cover on (it was leaking real bad). I'm replacing the leaking cover with one of Ruffstuff's 1/4" covers. I have a Helicoil Repair Kit ordered. This is by far the best video I've found of this brake conversion!
Sorry but we didn’t measure the rotors and don’t recall. This is the kit from Ruff Stuff and the specs should be on their site. www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/R1877.html
