When I did the changeover to the Ford V8 I was determined to solve the
scuttle shake problem. Here's what I did: New Dayton 72 spokes with
Michelin XaS tires, shaved and balanced by Hendrix. Rear drum brakes
balanced by Hendrix. Front suspension totally rebuilt. Additional
stiffening of the BJ7 by welding in the stiffeners (Keith Pennel
suggestions I think) doghouse while all the fab was going on to widen the
footwells. Guess what? I've had it over the ton without a bit of scuttle
shake. But which one or a combination of the above cured it, I have no
idea.
Happy Healeying,
Rick Neville
