Vacation: Wednesday

  • Routed right-front brake hard line through the labyrinth of frame, hoses, engine and attachments like the original to connect up the caliper to the combination valve 45° upper outlet.
    Note to self: Next time, make sure of the fitting size to connect to the caliper hose before you route the line and then find yourself having to cut the flare off, put the correct fitting on, and re-flare in the cramped confines of a wheel well.
  • Bent up and routed the left-front hard line through the inside of the frame, similar to the original, to connect to combo valve bottom outlet.Took two tries as the first tube was too short... I thought it might be but tried it anyway.

That was pretty much it for today... Running hard lines takes time as there are missteps (ahem) and tweaking of the bend, placing clamps, etc. At least I got pictures today.
