Hows it going guys, this is my first post so hang with me. I got an 85 axle- received it in pieces- and im putting it back together. Ive gotten to the nuckles and I am missing the disc brake dust cover. Can I us an IFS one or what would be my best bet?

Buy some dust shield eliminators. I think the rotors look sexy :)

I took the dust cover and cut it down to just a piece left to hold the brake line.
Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?

nope, they are exposed anyways.  This way, they cool more and wont get rocks trapped in there
