: Some pics of my FF 60/70/14 bolt jig 66CJdean 01-01-2002, 09:27 PM I had some requests for some photos of the jig I use when doin FF 60's and such. This one jig works on all three but not all 60's just most. It uses a 14 bolt spindle nut and a standard 1.5" bar and I use one on each side. http://www.respite.org/images/cj66dean/60jig1.jpg http://www.respite.org/images/cj66dean/60jig2.jpg vova 01-01-2002, 10:10 PM more toys to make us jealous :flipoff2: what's up Dean? keepin yourself busy :) CJ Lagos 01-01-2002, 10:34 PM Where did you get the alignment bar, most kits I've seen has a bar too short to do FF stuff... CJ 66CJdean 01-01-2002, 10:43 PM I got it from a friend so not sure where he got it but I agree that they need to be about 80" or so. RustoleumWhite 01-02-2002, 08:55 PM OK, this being new to me (but me not being totaly stupid)... how does this all work. OK, you got the two ends, and they screw onto the spindles, then you have a long rod/bar (1.5 you said in your case), then I'm assuming you have two more "donuts" that you put in-place of the carrier bearings. Then slide the shaft all the way through using it to line everything up... Correct?? Is the bar any "special" material??, precision ground??, or just round-stock?? Does this assembaly have enough strength to counter the welding heat forces??, or is it just used to align it all prior to welding then check it afterwards?? How exacly were your ends made? Is there a spindle nut pressed into them or are the treads machined into them? Are they steel or aluminum? Where whould I look to purchase some of my oun?? Sorry for all the questions, I've narrowed fronts (easy), but never done a rear.... but want to start.... thanks -mark 66CJdean 01-02-2002, 09:26 PM Originally posted by RustoleumWhite OK, this being new to me (but me not being totaly stupid)... how does this all work.

Yes Is the bar any "special" material??, precision ground??, or just round-stock?? nothing special Does this assembaly have enough strength to counter the welding heat forces??, No and I don't know a 1.5" bar that couldor is it just used to align it all prior to welding then check it afterwards?? This is the put it together and tack weld it, check it, weld it and then check it again. How exacly were your ends made? Is there a spindle nut pressed into them or are the treads machined into them? Are they steel or aluminum? Where whould I look to purchase some of my oun?? A spindle nut pressed in and they are aluminum Sorry for all the questions, I've narrowed fronts (easy), but never done a rear.... but want to start.... thanks -mark Hope that cleared it up some. RustoleumWhite 01-02-2002, 10:02 PM yes, that clears it up some, thanks..... you think you could get another jig made?? I lost my machine shop when I was laid off of my old job ....:( how much :beer: $$ 66CJdean 01-21-2002, 12:53 PM This is what the newest one look like I made for a guy on the board. I removed some of the wieght to keep the bar as straight as possible.http://www.respite.org/images/cj66dean/60jig3.jpg | |
