As many of you know, I have been renovating my 73 CJ6 since September. I'm just about at the point where I can consider the frame and associated parts done. Two thing still exist to be done with that part, and they are: exhaust and brake hoses. If I would have done better at ordering parts before I needed them, I probably would be further along. I would wait until I got to that chore and then run in the house and try to find the parts needed and then wait for them to arrive, bad scheduling to say the least. Oh well, I'm retired and have no time certain time to complete except for just getting older.
Two items keep hiding from me. I would like rubber brake hoses for the front. The need to be about 20" to accomodate the lift. I can not find anyone that has them. I searched all the forums and emailed seems like all the dealers that carry that type of stuff. I had one company send what I thought were extended lines only to find out when they arrived they were just extensions. 15" extension on top of that. So my brake hoses would be 31" long,.......So anyway if anyone knows of a company that will make the hoses from scratch please let me know. I can give them all the specifications they will need. I heard that a Chevrolet p/u line might work and spent two hours at NAPA looking thru their books and came up with nothing.
Secondly, and I've already searched all the forums, I can't locate the floor replacements panels. I was told my CJ6 floors are just like a CJ5 . When I search for replacments I can find the pieces under the seats but not the toe kick ones. I have searched the web and cannot locate any for my year. Any ideas? And I don't wish to spend $600.00 for a complete front floor section. It would be nice though. If anyone finds some, be gentle with me, at my age and mental condition, the ridicule might send me over the edge and cause excessive drinking. Thanks
