Re: PO has me PO'd
Electric water pump?? Sweet. Apparently I've been too busy sulking about my motor to keep up with yours. Looks good Jim.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Trying to fix the attempt by the PO when he added a 4" lift, brake lines were to short, so he added the 'L' bracket. I'm sure this is adequate, but I am extremely anal...
Bought the front 2 SS brake lines from In-Line tube w/ brackets, minor amount of tweaking and they bolted up. Not sure if my brackets are in the right place

Re: PO has me PO'd
Finished up all my brake lines(do this with the front end sheet metal off), PITA, otherwise. Couple problems, my local hydraulic hose shop made my front lines, as suggested by the board, I added 8" for a 4" lift. The fitting he used for the brake was a 10mm, so I had to bore it out to 7/16", he didn't have the right fitting. Only about .003" differance, but the bolt wouldn't go in. Two locations on the frame for the hose to go thru, one with the flat, and one without, my fitting didn't have the flat. So I used the upper hole, plus I used a panel nut, beefier than the sheetmetal nut.
Those guys at In-Line tube had all the bends right on. Make sure all fittings are started by hand a good 3-4 turns, nothing is worse than cross threading a new brake line

Re: PO has me PO'd
Not all utility seats are created equal!!! There is a height difference caused by the rear bracket. Passenger side seat doesn't look to bad for being 37 years old. Recovering in the future if I can find the correct matrl.

Re: PO has me PO'd
If you are looking for that exact material that is already on the seats SMS auto fabrics has it, I bought some fabric to do my regular buckets and they sent that stuff by mistake.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Got a delivery from the brown truck
Oil pump primer 3/8" aluminum tubing and fittings AN wrenches Had to play with the parts rite away and found out you can't bend over 90 degrees w/o a spring to support the tubing, but this stuff bends really easy, cool stuff Tech Dept. helped me find the adapter to the carb with a male AN-6, nuts and sleeves make this a super easy hook up. I couldn't justify spending 100 bucks for the flaring tool(using it only 3 times) so I called my local hydraulic hose shop and he said he would flare the tubing to 37 degrees. The lenght of the tubing at the carb is wrong, waiting to find out how much room he needs for his flaring tool Oh yeah, SMS sent me samples of the grain, looks to be right on. Waiting for the samples of the mechanical embossing...thanks 69-72
