The shipping system that Trail-Gear used to calculate the shipping was not working correctly on international orders. So we removed the system for international orders.

Hey Chris, I haven't been on Pirate for a while due to commitments, how is the Zook Samuri going. Last time I was on you were on the second motor due to ventilating the first.

The Samurai is running well on the new 1600 motor...

Here in the USA, LC's up to 1978 had the smaller pattern for the studs. All Toyota solid axles here in the USA received the larger stud/pattern in 1979.

These arms do require the larger, later style stud pattern. The arms are drilled for the FJ80 style rod ends.

Hey Chris wouldnt it be easier and way more cost effective to just make both arms with 2 holes? Then they suit both Left or Right Drive. And you then sell only one set of arms that suit both styles.

That is a great idea and yes it would work. The down side is that you would have an extra hole on ...

By putting two sets of caliper mounts on the knuckle we are able to use the same knuckle for both left and right applications.

It would take a huge master cylinder to run two sets of front calipers but it would sure stop fast!
