You get the e brake cables and all the nuts and bolts? The rear calipers look usable or are you replacing them ? PowerStop has a powder coated package for front non Brembo SS discs , calipers and caliper brackets, and rear discs , calipers and caliper brackets. Nice setup.

Everything but the e-brake cables. I ordered those separately and they are here. Calipers look to be in decent shape; rotors are mostly surface rusted but in good shape. Ill be transferring the shocks and springs over since they are new as of late last year.

Got the muffler welded back on to the pipe. Original exhaust. Gotta have it quiet because I am going to trade it in.

Also, making sure you use a dab of Moly grease in there on the white contact point. It will help keep the tooth from wearing down and slightly lubricate the contact on the column.
The first time I installed it, the right turn sometimes didn’t cancel. I pulled it back out, dabbed on some Moly, then repositioned the steering wheel and angled the tilt, and it clicked right in, plus the right turn now cancels everytime.
Funny thing happened - switch was working perfectly fine until I read this post. On the way home from work, LH was working perfect but the RH would not cancel. Then RH was intermittent for awhile but now it cancels. I will likely have to go back in there and make those adjustments. The switch stalk seems a little stiff, but I just assumed it was because it is new.

Strong possibility of it, have fun!

A trip to the doctors office, nothing messed up in my left leg, or my right fo that matter, he suspects I just twisted my knee the wrong way, so today time to change out those parts that arrived on Wednesday from RockAuto.
