Thanks guys. Were there Scramblers produced without emergency brakes?
 
That's what I would have thought too. Mine has zero evidence of ever having any e brake what so ever. Chris

should be a cable off each calipers coming to the middle to a single bracket.... is the rear still an AMC 20?
 
I agree. It's still the narrow track amc 20. There's not even the classic cut off e brake cable coming out from the backing plate. Nothing under the dash in the way of a pedal assembly either. Wierd.

Usually that means a previous owner ran into a problem, like maybe the ebrake rusted up and wouldn't function. They removed it with the intention to replace it "next weekend maybe," and that quickly spiraled into "next summer," etc.
 
You could find all the parts/cables and put it back to stock, orrrrrr, you might want to put a lock in the hydrolic system.

I’ve heard of these failing... would you need separate for front and back?

Haven't used on myself. I believe they put pressure on the whole system. As long as all parts are in good condition, it should work fine. If you have a bad wheel cylinder/caliper, you'll probably know it. Think of it as putting pressure on the pedal and holding it . . . same thing, different method.

I have driven mine all over this country (literally) with a stock CJ box and wheeled it plenty. I don’t get the need to replace a working power CJ box. :shrug:

First order is to get rid of the quickener that the previous owner installed and see how it steers. Chris
 
Thank you. I agree completely. I like the Borgeson, but I like the factory style connections better than the set screw and lock nut style. Is something like the Crown HD shaft any good? Factory style connections but supposed to be heavier duty.
 
There is a reason everybody goes to the Borgeson unit. It is the best. Stay clear of crown parts if at all possible, they just are not as good as OEM or quality aftermarket products.

If you search the forums here you will find almost all custom rigs are using the Borgeson steering shaft. :cheers:
 
Looks great, Borgeson all the way. Put a layer of rattle can on it before installing, though.
