It is, once you said that I went searching for new and found a picture of it on Walcks.
Thank you gentlemen

Hey there! I found this in my box of sandblasted small parts and I can’t figure out where it goes. I’ve scoured my pictures of the tear down and cannot find it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Tom

Good to know, thanks... it should be noted that it is 200 cheaper than Vintage... not chump change.

Thanks for your input men. Based on cost and the uncertainty of Vintage Wiring, I have a harness coming from Walcks. And it is approved by my man Brian in Connecticut.

Ask and you shall receive.

Thank you sir. I am trying real hard to be original. That said, I have the original tie bar and it’s newly painted so why not put it back. I will order a heat shield.

Hi folks... easy one I think.... it appears based on limited info that the tie bar that connects the master cylinder to the brake pedal tube is eliminated on the cj3a. Is this true, or should I just...

Thanks guys. I took a pic and I do believe it is a protective coating. But nonetheless , it should be removed, right? And if 400 grit will do the job, easy enough.

I have a new clutch pressure plate and disc for my cj3a. The entire pressure plate is painted, including the surface that makes contact with the clutch disc. Shouldn’t this surface be bare metal like...
