morning all. Hi Jeff.
The saga of the 72 continues, actually did some work on the rear end yesterday, new rear bearings, put the bits and pieces back together for the park brake, had a few questions about the butterfly expander(s) for the park brake, needed some new white plastic cable holder things, which took hours to find on Pelican, didn't know if the things were an open ended part that could slip the cable on or were originally a hole which would mean we needed to stop work. So we stopped, had a beer with firends, covered it up and I came home to check the parts catalogue. The park brake has two butterfly expanders, which are not shown on our 72 onwards workshop manual, more like 70-71 parts, and the plastic cable holder is open ended which means that I can finish putting the rest of the rear brakes together and calipers on and await the never ending parcel with the bits in it.
Meanwhile awaiting yet another PP parcel with Marilyn's new clutch kit. My pockets are bleeding.
But its not about the cost, its about the fun!!
