It's 48* at 9am. I'm going to go out about 10-ish and wash it out with "Dawn". (gotta be careful with our current water restrictions)
If it gets close to 64* and I can get the tub dry enough, I'll get the primer put down.
Eric may be coming down around noon, you're more than welcome. Just not sure what we'll be able to get done with the temps. Give me a call.
As for the filter thing, these days it's pot luck with anything you buy.

It hasn't been as warm down there as it has up here has it Dave? It was 70+ 3 days this week up here. I sprayed some of my last stuff actually, and it set up great.

New plastic thinga majiggers for the clutch thina mabob
Drilled and added a spring to keep the actuater rod in place
Put in the rear cage tie-ins
New O-rings and connected the PS lines
Put the Vanco Brakes in place, this was a waste of $, bout an inch too wide.

it'll fit, just not with the K&N
I'm wondering if I'm going to need to put a solid motor mount on the pass side to keep it from flexing. I've got about 1/4 - 1/2" of room between the linkage

either a solid mount or a turn buckle from an engine bolt to the frame somewhere..I have used a length of chain on drag cars without solid mounts...Like the 77 trans am I'm slowly building for Pinks..

Vanco Brakes
Ok, I'm kinda concerned that I've got the wrong Bracket with my brake booster.
I know someone is going to pick up on it, yes I know the threaded extension is up side down. 
The flexible rubber piece does not reach the firewall and I didn't get any type of gromet to fill this area?
When I but the two components together and align the brake turn out to match the clutch stop I have over an inch of thread.
This is about equal to the distance of the rubber away from the firewall.
Close ups:
This showes it well:
Am I missing a piece or do I have the wrong brackets?

if I had to venture a guess I'd say you are missing a grommet of some sort (I am just basing that on my chebby S10 though)

Hmm, weird. Why didnt you just do the YJ swap instead of the Vanco system? Nothing wrong with Vanco, just curious.

BTW sweet project.

Man, I am trying to catch up with you, but you are moving on with the reassembly! Good job. Your pictures are going to be very helpful.

What are the brackets you have now for, it looks to me as if there about an 1 1/2 to long themselves.

No offense to any one with a CJ running YJ brakes, but I was not about to put junkyard brakes on something my family will be driving.
Van has a hell of a good reputation, nuff said.

They are 3 5/8" from booster to firewall.
2" would be perfect.

quick note on the vanco, according to van the stock booster adds 1000lbs of boost, yj is 1200, vanco is 1600 so there is an actual difference as well as it being a new unit...
