Hey Jason You got lucky with those broken bolts ! But Ya Got - um. I had to laugh when I saw those little C clamps. I was not surprised to see that snap. I have lots of much larger clamps, but I do all kinds of steel fabrication that requires larger tools. I do have the smaller clamps also as sometimes there is not enough room for larger clamps. I forget that the average guys garage does not need all the equipment I have gathered. It is good to see you getting so much done on Ned. And doing so much yourself rather than sending work out. Spring begins next Sunday ! Come on higher temps ! Work Safe, Be Well
Yeah I really didn’t want to screw up those holes before I tapped them. Using a nice sharp bits helps. I am a little embarrassed by those clamps. I got 10 of them for $10.00 at a yard sale.It was funny when it broke. Those bushings go in surprisingly hard. But all in all it went well.Now that it is done I’m glad I did it.Another learned process.I ran it today the valve is working good. Onto the exhaust. Have a good week.
As a tractor trailer mechanic working on my own personal Jeep I only had one broken bolt use a stick welder 6011 rod weld a nut to it and tap it with a hammer not too lightly it may take a few times of welding and not on you'll get it🎉
There is a metal tab to index the counterweight to the shaft. Just like you fabricated. All my originals have had one. Not sure why they don’t include one with the kit.
Thanks for the input.I think the original rusted away because it just spun on the shaft. That’s why I thought it was working.I am surprised it wasn’t with the kit.
Just came here to say this helped me a lot. Just did this in an hour. Well done for posting this and helping me on my rebuild. Cheers mate
I’m glad it helped, thanks for watching and commenting
Nice work Jason!
Time to get Ned fired up again!
Thanks Gary, was able to start it today. Is running better. Moving onto exhaust
Fantastic job those heat risers can be a complete pain.
Thankyou, the hardest part was putting in the bushings
Wow, seeing the c-clamp snap in half, you got Hulk strength! Nice work.
Thanks, those bushings went in harder than I thought. The clamps I have are really cheap.

We had to drill ours out a little to fit those bushings in... there was no way they were going to fit.
Yeah they are definitely too tight of a fit
