I spent Saturday running up to the north end of Baltimore to pick up my new bandsaw, then spent the rest of the day assembling and getting it set up. Made a few test cuts around 7 that evening and pushed to the back of the shop so I could get something done on the Burb.
I drilled the undersized hole on the caliper bracket out, went to the parts store and bought the correct size grade 8 hardware then reassembled the front left hub and disc assembly. That was work left over from last weekend.
I was about to tear down the right side to do the same when I got a bug to try salvaging the sway bar brackets instead. Here is what I started with
old bracket I had a busted bolt to drill out on both brackets and I had to weld up the shock mount hole as they had both been torn up pretty bad. Since one end of the hole still with the broken bolt had good threads after my drilling operation I ran a bolt through it from the top, cut it off and peened it in place to create a stud.
like this There a couple other photos there if you can find them. Anyhow that is as far as I got... two good brackets ready for paint.
