Imagine going over bumps with those long rods only supported at the ends. Whats going to happen?.... Slap! Slap! Slap! That little bit of spring steel stops that happening.

Default Brake rod spring?

Hi Dave,

Your brake rod covers look great. So does the spring. I know I am showing my Carrier ignorance with this statement but...... I have never seen one of those springs before and didn’t know they were even under there. Is there anyway you could post a sketch with dimensions? I can’t be the only one that needs them. Thanks a lot!

Default Thanks Dave.

Thank you Dave. That sketch will really help out. What material did you make yours out of? Spring Steel?

I made it out of some 1 1/4" strapping material I had.

Well its been a long time since I have updated this thread as Life took a detour on working on the carrier this last few years but not forgotten. I only managed to work on it briefly last year but I am back on track and have found the time to go full steam ahead on it .


So I guess where I left off I had done a lot of fab and painting of the parts of a good portion of the carrier and last year I worked on the exhaust system. I went with a Walker muffler 17864 from NAPA as it was the best I could find that was close to the original one and had a length of 17" in the body. I made the system I believe like the original setup.

Now to play the mad minute in catching up on what I have been accomplishing the last few months


Now that the exhaust system is done and in I can install the differential YAY.
