Care to explain what you mean by this? I'm not really understanding the reason to make a template of your tire.

The size off the template is the tiresize I eventually want to run.
By making a template I can build and check for clearance without having to buy the tire's in advance, cause I guess it will take 2 winters to get it finished.
5 tires take up a lott off cash end space.

So much for "customer support"
Ruffstuff: never even responded to my email.
Ballistic: They email'd me a S&H quote. After that when I mailed I wanted to order, they never mailed me back for my details.

Did work out after all, allthough ruffstuff never even answered my mail.

More parts arrived, 1.25" rod end, for the rear upper.




Rear disc brake bracket.






With calipers.






Will be close once I got the H2 rims recentered.

Noice!! Funny most cars/light trucks use those calipers on the front.

[CrawlerReady]

Same calipers that I'm using on my front D60 and rear Ford 9". Looking good!!!

[ratmonkey]

No e-brake?

I'll put a hydraulic handbrake in

[ratmonkey]

I'll put a hydraulic handbrake in

we need cable brakes, hydraulic don't pass state safety inspection.

[AgitatedPancake]

I'm definately keepin my eye on the hydraulic ebrake. One thing we don't have here in California is inspections, and I like the idea!

[ratmonkey]

Yep, i'll be doing the el dorado calipers. Little more expensive, but simple to work with.

[ogdak]

Little more expensive

These chevy callipers did cost me almost €140 for the 2 without the pads.
The where pretty easy to get here locally. The eldorado's are harder to get and most likely twice or even more expensive. So very happy with my brake parts, only thing else I need for the brakes in the back are the lines.

5 years went by since I started this thread, back then it was my first en only jeep.
Today it's 1 out off 3.
Sorry no updates though, been busy with the lx.

Where are your jam nuts?

How are you recentering H2 wheels?

I'll get the jam nut locally, no need to get that shipped accross the pond.
Made some cad drawings for new centers, just need to have them cut.

That is alot of work for some OE alumnum wheels. Get some beadlocks.

[ogdak]

Since it is getting harder and harder to get "big" tires due to European laws,
got myself a set of 37*12.5R16.5 ex-military.
Will be just fine for build, permit and street use.






compared to a standard tire.




The were kind off flatend because of storage, so put some wood in it.


Time to get this on the move again,
cad drawings for H1 rim adjustment are out.

[Jeeptech01]

Cool man. Who makes those 37's?

[AgitatedPancake]

Those are the goodyear military tires that were found on hummers and stuff! Those are what Andy had planned for his build before we found out the ones he got were way dryrotted!

[ogdak]

that's right: goodyear wrangler mt military issue

[Jeeptech01]

Sweet!

Should be cool. You always come up with some neat stuff.

[ogdak]

Reading back in this thread.
Obviously I ment H1

Thanks, result off hours off webwheeling.

[Jeeptech01]

Its cool though. I have tried to absolutely build every piece possible on my current rig instead of buying it. It is obvoiusly cheaper and much more rewarding IMO to have a rig built with parts you have made yourself.

[ogdak]

so true.

[ogdak]

Now that I have a set off tires, time to start with the rims.
First off cleaned, cleared and rearanged my workspace.


Here the outer part of a H1 12 bolt rim.
Since the BS is 7" on a 8.25" rim, the center needs to be reset.
So that the hub won't stick out, besides that the rim won't fit the sterling hub.
Made a tool for my plasma to make a nice circular cut.






The result


Not all the way even, moved to fast with the plasma.
Also grinded the paint off.


et voila


It will take some grinding and sanding but not to bad afterall.

[CrawlerReady]

Sweet! Looking good!

Although it's not perfect, very creative! Nice work!
