that's what I use. super easy to form by hand. no issues with it at all.I’m planning to use the AB nickel/copper kit, unless anyone has a horror story that should talk me out of it!

Geez! I'm really sorry to hear that. I imagine you had to cut it off and weld in a new one?Making progress every day! Or at least, every other day.
I had the joy of replacing a front left sill body mount in January thanks to the professionally trained mechanic jacking up my truck on the body mount instead of either the chassis or the rock slider on either side. Being somewhat rusted after 27 years, it crushed pretty handily causing my truck to fail its state inspection. Fancy that. Not even an apology, just the equivalent of a "(whistle), that's gonna fail. Bring it back when you fix it."
The only area of concern there is getting all the air out of the ABS regulator.
Yeah, it was about about a 10 hour day at Jagspeed's between kibitzing about Boba Fett and the Mandalorian series and cutting/riveting. We ended up welding a bit and riveting a lot. All in all, it went pretty well and looks great. The most epic part was getting the $40 worth of mount and bushings ($30 in shipping) from YRM in England. DHL lost it for over a week since it was wrapped nontraditionally. A box would have kept it safer, but it came looking like a wrapped up nutroll. No wonder it didn't fit through the DHL sorting equipment easily.Geez! I'm really sorry to hear that. I imagine you had to cut it off and weld in a new one?

Yes. He’s still cranking it out over there. Right now, he has a 6 wheel Perentie ambulance undergoing a bit of a refresh. It’s a monster!Jagspeed in Latrobe?
Now that’s some out of the box thinking! I’ll keep that in mind and if we go that route, I’ll be sure to video it!So I have no idea if this works, I did this after changing out the ABS modulator on a D2 and it seemed okay...
I put all on jacks and took off the tires.
Started, put it in drive, and just let the rotors roll under idle power. Since there's absolutely nothing to prevent the unladen rotors from locking, when you push the brakes the ABS unit will start going apeshit.
I imagine this is cycling all four lines?
There’s something about parts from the UK… they always seem to come packed in the most… creative… fashion! Nice that they’ll ship them over here though. Nick Froggatt’s shop has bailed me out repeatedly with this rig.Yeah, it was about about a 10 hour day at Jagspeed's between kibitzing about Boba Fett and the Mandalorian series and cutting/riveting.
