Introducing FOO, FZJ80 with Portal Volvo c303 topless

[1fzpower]

Made a bunch of progress on the lathe, then went and used a friends mill. If anyone wants to do this work, I tried my best to post up how to do it on my thread on IH8MUD.

sandblasted axles and put 3 coats of epoxy primer and then 3 more coats of john deere blitz black paint.

I had to put two small screw to keep the brake disk on correct place while the wheel nuts are loose. It worked without in garage but on real life the disk was able to move when I changed the tires. After a while the disk was vibrating and it led to soft brake pedal.

Thanks for the info. Easy to do, as I had to drill hole for alignment when I drilled the lug stud holes.

I finally got to the point to put this all together, and the brake brackets are not the correct size. Don't know if I got the wrong disc, but the holes for the caliper needed to be out about 1/4 more and there is not enough material to drill new holes. I could turn down the rotor; however, decided to throw these brackets out and start over with my own parts.
