      I'm not sure how I feel about shaving my nuts as you did. LOL

      Seriously though, thanks for the writeup Jeff. I'm also watching to see how these setups fit with different options. It sounds like every car is going to be different unless you buy their entire package which can be pretty pricey, especially if your current brakes won't work.

      Part Five : Brake Bracket Bolts
      Also note ,
      On the original / stock setup , one of the bolts that fastened the brake bracket to the spindle doubled as a bolt that fastened the steering arm to the spindle . ( both bolts actually fastened the steering arm )
      With the Tru Turn System , the steering arms are fastened to spindle by the , afformentioned shaved nuts and bolts .
      But if you are using a stock brake bracket , it still attaches to the original holes as it did from the factory ..
      The original factory brake bracket bolts were fairly long because they went through the bracket , knuckle , and steering arm .
      So , the original bolts could not be used in these brake bracket holes anymore ..
      Anyway , I got some grade 8 shanked bolts and cut them to length and locktighted them appropriately.






      Notice the deep shank on this bolt , if you use an unshaked bolt in this position , the brake bracket will be allowed to move . Make sure to use a shanked bolt ..and locktite !!



      Here's a picture of the whole thing bolted together .
