This weekend was sort of productive. I managed to get the trans axle filled up with gear oil, the brake lines bent and installed, removed the old lines/reservoir, filled the brake system full of fluid, cut and installed the emergency brake cables and cleaned up the engine compartment a bit. Anyone know where I can get a new 'hook' for the hood prop rod? My hook is looking a little tired. See the second photo below.
Installing this:
Allows me to remove this:
Below you will see the left and right original lines. I mocked up the new lines using some scraps of old coat hangar. In retrospect, I may have to get two new lines (longer lines) and come up an over the top of the caliper.
Oh, I also installed the lower shock bolts. Trying to decide if I'm going to reinstall the rear sway bar or not. I'm not sure I noticed a difference when it was installed.
I hope to get the air out of the brake system and that front ball joint buttoned up sometime this week.
Thanks for checking in...
