What else are you putting in apart from the Compressor then?
You won't see those pints, RockWatt won't get them shafts to you in said timescale

Got an air horn to wire in too, need to get more wire and relays though.
Compressor is all wired in. Just needs bolting to something.

Not sure how I've only just found this build but it's looking great Jordi !!
Keep up the good work mate, be interesting to see how the China lockers work I personaly think they should work well in a suzuki as there not under as much stress as the one which arb tested.
Keep the updates coming

Re: Jordis 1988 Samurai (Re)Build
Haven't actually done anything with it but my axles are finally ready to collect as are my rebuilt diffs with 4.3 R&Ps and rear air locker.
Soon as i get them collected i'll be fitting them and the YJs and X-eng brake.
Bit limited in space at the moment as the donor volvo turbo takes up half the garage. Possibly moving though to somewhere with more space. Just testing the market at the moment to see if our house sells.

I'd imagine that if your axle is ready, mine won't be far behind!
1985 SJ413VX (SJ50V) with SPOA, rear disc brakes, 31x10.5R15 Kaiman Malatesta tyres, an MOT and a lot left to do!

Re: Jordis 1988 Samurai (Re)Build
Looks great, brilliant, were they rockwatts? Out of curiosity, why does only one side gets gussets on it? Does gussetting both sides not offer any additional strength? Or is it for ground clearance? Also why are there disks fitted on the end of the casing? Are they for mounting disk on? And does it alter the recess for the bearing at all?

Full floater Luke.
Its a shortened re flanged back axle to take front hub assemblies including break disc mounts and calipers.
Trussing wise, horses for courses. Could have gone mental and sleeved them and trussed both sides. That should be adequate for the abuse i give it.
