List,
I'm making progress,  just not in a foward direction.
First, my email is not working, so I'm on backup typing with my  
thumbs.  Arg.!
I had planned to update the list on my prgress but that will be  
another time.
After working the bugs out of the electrical system ( horns either  
wouldn't work or wouln't stop) I moved on to the brakes. After  
replaacing all the lines and brake cylinders and rebuilding the front  
calipers I thought I'd be ready to start up the engine for the first  
time. Not so. The R front caliper bleed valve won't seat so fluid  
pours out after the valve is screwed all the way down. So I thought  
about
Converting to the Toyota caliper but I 'm not sure I want to to tackle  
this. I can't even get the dust cap off. So has anybody had any  
expriences with converting to the Toyota caliper?  Or should  I just  
find another R front caliper and rebuild it? Of course my goal was to  
be driving it this Spring. Ha!
