Thanks Sam. His name is Ace, which comes from some of my favourite people, Ace Frehley, Lemmy Kilmister (Ace Of Spades) and Ed &quot;The Ace&quot; McCulloch. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Thanks Dan. As he is only 5 months old he is experiencing his first dose summer as its 105 degrees here today!

A little more progress this week as I swapped out the the crappy booster and master for the nice Brake Boosters booster, prop valve and an almost as crappy, but era correct, repro master as well as some new brakes lines. As reported in the tech section, I had a couple of issues with the depth of the piston hole in the master and had to shorten the booster/master pin some to make it work. And work it does, I now have better brakes than ever, so a very worthwhile exercise. Over the next week or so I will give it a service with plugs, oil, filters and replace those ugly blue plug wires and then it's off for a dyne tune. Now just waiting on the trimmer to recover the seats. Hopefully in the next week or two that will happen.

Your master cylinder bail clip is backwards and could allow the brake fluid to weep out if not flipped over to the other side.

Arrh, that would be right! Thanks for the tip. I'll turn it around.

PM back, Dan.
