My efforts to be in Solo I might be foiled by a lack of brake line clips. 914-355-665-00-OEM just won't work, twice as thick.
I can't take the car for an out of province inspection w/o clips.
Replacements are coming from Porsche next Wednesday and I'm off to forage through my shop waste bin. Maybe I can locate the trashed ones I tossed out and rework them if they are still around.
Parking brake cables arrived today so in they go tonight and I can finish up almost everything.
Preparing for this Solo I stuff starting on the 28th has been a lot of fun, loved every mechanical effort so far.
- two trips to Cut Bank MT for UPS pick up, new pads, new calipers (4 old ones now being sent off for powder coating before rebuild are destined for shelf spares) , rotors, bearings, all related hardware, seals, hardlines, pbrake shoes, pbrake cables, tail light seals, headlight seals, shifter bushing rebuild, marginal suspension bushings replaced in complete, harness bar installation, (belts and helmet still en route), fixed windshield/headlight washer nozzles, yesterday was spent chiselling/grinding/cursing out many stripped from previous owner/mechanic allen head bolts in seat tracks to gain access to the parking brake handle.
By Monday I'll just be waiting for the clips, one hardline and one bolt to secure the MAF to the top of its bracket along with the seatbelts.
Going to be very close.....
