CJ8 Conversion Build going slow but going. Check back often.
really like what I'm seeing ! great job it will be a unique build :t:
Do I really need this since I am going w/a V8 & no fuel line return. It's 25 yrs old. I know the theory behind it but not really sure exactly.
Thanks,
Jim

what is it? :-|
I believe that was part of the evap system. It would have been under the driver rear fender, and connected to a charcoal canister under the hood and gas tank. part of it is a check valve that would shut off fuel in case of a roll over. Just plug the fitting on top of the tank and pitch the rest.
The one on my CJ rusted and started leaking in less than 3 years, I took it off over 25 years ago.
It may be of some value to someone doing a stock restoration. Those parts are made from unobtainium. :?: :?: :?:

Yep, for sale to the highest bidder. The 21gal tank goes in this week :)
P.s. Mudrat, I think this is what U were looking for a couple years ago when I sent U that other part. :roll: :shock:
Well, the tank is in and plumbed, tranny lines run, re-built 3 core rad, rear brake lines in and ready to set the tub on Saturday :)

Mounted the lines on the motor mount for easy removal & they are far enough from the exhaust manifold.

Tank plumbed in. Ran vent line through the frame to the front/charcoal canister. Covered the S-Steel lines to prevent chaffing.

Well thanks to some of the CCJ club, the tub was installed today along with the 1" daystar BL. Sorry I couldn't get more involved pics but someone had to do something :) Next week, prep/paint.
Scott had to weld the two rear nuts inside the frame, when tightening, they spun.

Notice the Twin Stick and the notch cut out, just enough and the original cover will still fit like original.

Well, removed some surface rust, use por's metal ready, primed the bare spots to prevent more rust, sanded and wet sanded the tub. Next I will go over some shiners & the prime the entire tub with Red Oxide Primer.

Bought some U-POL spray in bed liner for the conversion. Picked it up this morning and the guy sells POR-15 cheap. 25 bucks a pint and 35 (I think) for a quart.
