Makes me glad I also have a Land Rover which has a proper Gurling/Lucas 
slave cylinder outside the bellhousing. Those front shackles look pretty 
anemic. Like they just might bend when driving off camber. If it were 
me, once it was running I'd have a Jeep specialty shop look at them to 
see if they would hold up in real off road life. They are not something 
you would want to bend or snap out in the middle of nowhere.
