Got the heater converted to propane and hung on the ceiling, slowly getting there

Not much going on since the snow is here. Been spending some time pushing white gold to fund the projects

Did get the pipe installed for the new heater. Just need to install the vent and get it inspected.

Vent is in, just need the inspection. Progress is going slower than planned

The heat is on, inspected and running great! Time to get to work!

Started the 14” c5 brake swap from Kore 3. 12” 1LE brakes coming off and going onto my friends Monte carlo

Started bolting parts together today and came across this. With the lower ball joint tightened down, there’s still a lot of room under the spindle. Anyone else ever see this?

 

[Misfitmike63]

So, forgot that the lowers come with a taller ball joint as well. Is there anything available to put pressure against this boot so it protects the ball joint? Same thing with the upper piece

I used a piece of heater hose
did that setup come with alignment specs?
