I'm trying to finalize a few things before doing the final welding on the frame, followed by sending it for powder coat.

Yesterdays effort was to do final mock up of the E-Stopp electric emergency brake and the cables. As seen before I had made standoffs to mount the E-Stopp. With its pull cable fastened to the rear cab mount, I now needed to connect it to the Lokar brake cables. This wasn't so easy when you realize that the E-Stopp threaded rod uses an M6 metric thread, and the threaded rod from the Lokar cable connector uses a 5/16"-24 thread. So after a trip to the hardware store to seek out a solution I came up with this turnbuckle. It was thread 5/16" course so I just retapped it. On the M6 side, the rod just slid through the hole. A double nut on either side and its all locked in place. Solution found!










With that figured out I was able to pull the rear end. The next time it goes in will be the final time after powder coat of the frame.
