Things just haven't been going my way.
I'm sending this as a word to the wise....be careful when reconnecting your
brake lines, especially at the T-type Union! I stripped it during
reconnecting the new brake line (which I also destroyed), the story
obviously ends with an audible "pffffffft" when I started to bleed the
system.
These are OLD parts made of brass and other soft metal, folks!
Now I'm waiting for that tiny little part from VB (they were open today and
the price was fair enough)
A simple replacement of differential fluid has now cost me way too much.
(who's counting, right?)
Being an optimist, I look at is as having spurred me on to a full refurb of
the rear suspension, which looks great now - if I could just get it on the
road. ;) At least I fired her up and let the engine warm up for a while - no
problems there!
Thanks for listening to me whine about my self-induced misfortune.
