I posted this in my build thread but didn't get any responses. I need to get this figured out asap so I can order the parts. I will be going to my parents' house this weekend to work on the Bronco with my dad so I need to get the parts in before then. These are important because I need to get the lights and horn fixed so I can get an Inspection Sticker (Virginia Laws ), the parking brake so that the Bronco doesn't runaway downhill and smash into something, and the floor pans, door posts, and wheel well to fix the few rust spots.
1) My parking brake does not work and if I park in slanted areas with the Bronco in gear, it rolls and it's a bit scary. haha I have to park where they have the blocks at the end of the parking space and and let the Bronco rest on that block before it will stay there. If the place is level, it's okay. But, many parking lots around here aren't level so I definitely need to fix it.
How do I fix that and what do I need to buy to make it work?
3) My horn does not work. When I depress the horn button on the steering wheel (It is the original steering wheel with the horn ring) I can hear it click under the hood which means that the mechanical parts seem to be working but there's no sound coming out.
How do I fix this and is there anything I need to order?
I'm pretty sure that I found my horn in the assortment of "spare parts" that I received with the Bronco. Let me know if this is it and if there's a way for me to test if it works.
4) I need to order the Driver/Passenger Floor Pans and Door Locks and the Driver's Side Rear Wheel Well Housing. Where is the best/cheapest place to get the metal from? I have a friend to remove the current ones and install the new ones but I'm not sure where to get them from.
I think that's it for now. I will post more questions if I need more help.
Thanks!
