I have a complete Arruat suspension system on my build. My biggest complaint with respect to the drop spindles is that the tapered holes drilled for the ball joints weren't drilled deep enough. I'm now forced to buy a tapered drill bit and drill them properly myself. Those bits are expensive... and I'll likely only need it this one time.

Nice Work Simple Man, to bad for your Arraut parts, I wanted to buy them in the worst way but I'm now glad I made my own stuff after seeing this!

Wouldn't a pic of the failed part be of more help rather than a pic of the new knuckle?

Master cylinder blead, Arruat system, had pre bent brake lines,  The old fiero block is used and fitting brazed, Wilwood proportioning valve with supplied bracket installed.  All brake lines, and fittings installed.  Ready to bleed system.

Actually went smoothly ::scratch  :o

The shift system is ..... how come there is not the triangular pile of poo for and emoji to choose from?   ::scratch  ;D

So the GSS-2000 just tells you what gear your in and that is about it. 

The shiter system, pun intended, in the REDO  :LL:... was basically shift by feel.. you tapped on the paddles, the paddle hits an impala window switch and that triggers the actuator.... you tap too much you go passed R and so on.

God forbid your doing 70 mph and you accidentally go into reverse :o

New part installed.

I will be using the GSS-2000 for trans gear indicator only.

A big thanks to Fiero King , USMC and Murci Me for taking the time to talk to me about their systems.   

Here the vids of each if you haven't seen them before

okay, quite a bit of soldering and fixing of shoddy work...... and we have power!  Fuel pump pressure good, no leaking.

Now switching gears to the Transmission setup (4T65eHD) .  The REDO came with a Dakota digital shifter system, actuator etc. and  MurciMe paddles for the steering column.  Need to do some research on how it all is suppose to work, and get the Trans in neutral :)   ::study
