On the engine side we used one of
Earl’s OE EFI Quick Connect (-8 to 3/8)
fittings (PN AT992086ERL), which had an
integrated 1/8-inch NPT port for a small
mechanical fuel pressure gauge.
19Back on the chassis side we were able
to install the front Baer brakes that
would match the rears that came with
our floater kit. The massive XTR calipers
are track bred and, along with the slotted
Extreme+ 14-inch rotors, we should
have no problem slowing down our
massive wagon.
20The extra-large Baer brakes still fit inside
our 18-inch Forgeline GF3 wheels, but
while we were able to make the rearend
perfect for our existing wheel offsets,
the modern sealed bearing design of the
front suspension meant we needed new
front wheels to fit inside our wagon’s
fenders. It might be time for some fresh
Falken RT615K+ tires as well.
21It’s been a long
path to get to
this point, but all
the major players
are in place on
our chassis so it
was time to roll it
under the wagon
and see where
everything fell.22© clayton machine works 2019®865.824.9778www.claytonmachine.com
