Re: Frame swap restore for my 86 CJ7
 
Thanks for the suggestion, but I kinda like making my own lines. I will
check out bulk line though. I just inspected the ones I built in 00 and
they are showing light surface rust. I think I will coat the new ones
in galvanizing spray or try the stainless if I can get it.

It's also time for a new master cylinder, mine creeps a bit when the
pedal is held down. Ohh, the 'little' details are $tarting to add up...

I am going to leave the ones across the back axle alone.

All my 'glass body mounting bolts are stainless and have held up well.

Re: Frame swap restore for my 86 CJ7
 
I am doing this already.

My album site, Sony is closing down so I need to set up a new account
someplace.

Meanwhile here is a start:

Hi Mike,
You know there's and incredibly smart idea, used on your frame, an open
frame end that you may take a garden hose and push up to the front bumper
blowing the mud out that use to hold the water for rust. I don't know anyone
that has, but I bet you might save some time in the future having it
magnafluxed.
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O
