I could even write a bit about brake fluid being hygroscopic

but we are talking, typing about brakes so we're on topic.

Never mind, I was quoting Gertie, my mistake.

All is well. We're among friends. Apologies for my snarky reply.

Well, thanks to everyone helping me with parts, so far I have all new hub seals, one rear inner and outer bearing set, the brake hose adapter found, new brake linings installed, and the new brake system almost ready to go. Plus a new king pin set being shipped. Please feel free to offer any advice you may have for me, as there is always the chance I've forgotten something, or screwed up like throwing that adapter I needed out! A friend is giving me a set of Budd 20 inch wheels for her, off of a Diamond T, and as soon as I get the rubber on her I'll post a couple of pictures. Again, thanks for the help, and advice! Ben

Do we understand that you have found the missing adapter or do you still need one?

Regarding items such as that adapter, do not forget your friendly local machine shop. Looking at that part, I would estimate it would take all of 15 minutes to make if you have the hex stock. And many if not most shops have a variety of sizes as a matter of course.
