Are you using the Ni-Cu brake line, Roy?

 

The brake line that came in the kit is steel........

 

Good day... No injuries



My Dad's Sextant....... My guess this is 50+ years old.

Axle in position to bolt up to the springs....


2nd axle in place..... ready for the disc brake assy.


Torque wrench used... good boy !!


Hardware to bolt the axle to the leaf spring


Tube bending and cutting tools

 

BTW:...... I found a crossmember that servers as a floor joist and controls frame flexing with a broken weld....... It is welded to the left and to the right frame..... It is no longer welded to the right (Starboard) frame.

What terrible workmanship...........

 

Well done so far Roy, Your paint job reminds me of my late Fathers painting, he was color blind too, really

 

Wooooooo....... I am not color blind...
But my color choices might be a wee bit "different"......
I am having fun with it.......

Thanks Gerry....

 

Bunch more to do today.......

 

Photos from Saturday.........

Brake line work....... Had to make an adjustment on the mounting of the Rubber brake hose from the caliper to the ridge brake line.......

Caliper pins and bushings have "caliper" grease applied......


Keeping all the brake line above the underbelly covering (enclosure)

 

Looks good Roy!

 

Thanks Dave...... Getting closer to being done.
I won't have much time this week to work on the Montana and finish...... I have been asked to sub for a High School teacher at Foothills Community Christian School (FCCS). He will be gone all week. Bible, History, Geometry, Trig........ I am rusty with the math, but it'll work out fine......

 

 

for whatever reason for the last week or two maybe one in 10 of his pictures comes through for me even when the page is fully loaded

 

 

Good luck with the math. I considered myself pretty good in the math department in school, but man did it change with the grand kids math books. This new math sucks.
