Just FYI, the plunger looks to be a unit assembly. That is, the ring slits at 180* in your photos allow for that end to be compressed so the plunger can be removed as a unit. I haven't needed to do that, but studying your photos that seems to me how it would be done. FWIW Noah Boehm here has used ba...

I'm guessing you are looking at the plungers without the brake shoes mounted properly (particularly the shoe that clips onto the parking brake cable). When properly installed, brake shoes and springs will be mounted under compression (pulled together) and the inspection plungers will be pushed back ...

Some tin snips/heavy scissors and time...Not bad at all. That's so awesome! If you ever find any pics and wanna post them...please feel free to do so! What did you do for the rears? Still factory stuff? Do the Cobra ones work for the rear too? I've got a set waiting to be installed in the front, bu...

I'm too cheap to buy them ...I use a square plywood section as a cushion on the jack head lifting against the beam plates.

As mentioned, use some plywood, something like that to set the jackstands on. Jackstands on dirt is no good regardless of if it never rains or snows where you're at. I put the jack under the end of the beam where it bolts to the car on each side, then put jackstand net to it. Where did you get your...

The vent motors don't employ limit switches. They rely on the motors stalling when the vent reaches its stop point.

And over time that point gets a bit longer and longer as the door flap material weakens, and warps or even cracks.

otherwise, seems to be just swell.

Pop off the vent vane covers to see if the doors are "swell" too. (Hearing motors works and doors reak means nothing re if they are "swell".
