Very nice, Andy.
When I built my front 44, I originally mounted my coil buckets around the same area, and ran into clearance issues with my high steer.
Might be too late, but cycle your steering side to side before you commit to that placement, I was only able to get ~1/2 my steering before the tierod hit the coils. I think I ended up mounting the coils right at axle center line if memory serves. I was/am running RE ZJ coils, not sure if that made any difference or not.
Appreciate the concern, Matt. I don't think it'll be an issue for my setup. The tie-rod mounts over the knuckle but in the factory position. Only the drag link is ran to the high steer. Clearance is going to be tight for the track bar though, I can already tell. Cycle, cycle, cycle is one thing I've learned when setting up new suspension/steering.
In other news, I think I have the rear 60 pretty much ready to go. Spent some time mounting new brake lines, and routing new hardline on the axle.
The Tera60 uses Explorer 8.8 disc brakes, so I opted to go with two new passenger side Explorer rear brake hoses to connect each caliper to the hardline. Part #380528. They're roughly 8" long and feature a mounting tab on one end. For the axle to frame line, I went with a 21.5" line with built in 3/8" union on the axle side. Part #38576. Pretty much the exact setup I'm running on my current 8.8.
Started by using some old coat hangers to use as a template for the hard line routing.
I picked up this Harbor Freight brake line forming tool to help with the bends. It does a decent job, and bends to a pretty tight radius.
Mark where you want center of the bend, subtract about 3/4" for the radius, and that's where you'll want to start your bend.
After you have your line bent up, trim to length, and flare the end (Don't forget the nut!).
I've learned it's important to prep the tube good before. Bevel the inside and outside, and make sure the cut is square. Clamp it evenly in the flare tool. I also used a little WD40 to help the tool flare the line. When you're done, you should have a good quality flare.
With the hardline all bent up, I needed a way to secure it to the axle. I made these mounting tabs out of some .750" round stock. Cut some pieces to length, drilled out the centers to 13/64, and then tapped the holes out to 1/4-20.
There she be.
Don't knock my wooden leaf springs mock up blocks. The center soft line mounts to the axle via a tapped piece of .250" plate. To mount the Explorer soft lines, I welded some brackets onto the leaf spring perches. Each side is a mirror image of the other. All in all, I'm happy with the turnout. I tried to keep the routing as simple as possible, and out of harms way.
