Very well done! I love seeing things like this, then I can impress others when I do it! That is until I break down and tell them I saw it on FTE!

I just drilled a 9/16 hole in some scrap steel and pressed in 610-289 wheel studs. They'll do. $12 and done.
Here is why you don't heat a brake line - ever! I had this off, cut with about 8" of rubber line and about 1/2" of steel line. Clamped in vise. Heated - bang! I read the advise not to heat it, but thought that was with it on the car and connected. Nope, you don't heat these no matter what!
Nice work on the bronco so far. Keep up that nice work.
Side not, and not trying to hijack the thread. Where abouts are you in the UP? I am down by GR. Scroll down in the chapter threads and look up the Michigan chapter. I will also have some parts available and know a few guys that have some parts. I am gathering parts to do my frame off in a year or 2.
Hard lines were from JBG - happy with them. Everything else went in real nice. The junction block on the front axle took a little fiddling with in terms of mounting it to the axle, but I think it will work.
The bushing fit the whole, but thickness was not right to allow a clip. We'll see if it stays put.
I was worried about how the line would flex, don't want it getting out of shape and into the front prop shaft.
Fiddling to mount to axle
Plug and play - lines from JBG plumbed in nice...needed to remove prop valve to get new fuel line positioned.
Okay - been plugging away and need some help. Bought patch panels to fix my quarters and I think they are wrong. The don't have the shape (flare) the originals had at the wheel arch. How is this possible?
This is the passenger side with patch panel in...notice, there is NO gap...thus NO flare. This kind of sucks. Does anyone know where I can get patch panels that have the correct flare? I am keeping my front fenders, want the quaters to match.
