    Wierd brake issue

    The first time I push the brake pedal it has a lot of travel, firm at about 2-3 inches off the floor, if I let the pedal rise and push down again it's firm about an inch or two from the top. Is this a bleed issue or airpack or something else?

    Anybody cut their bow height on M35A3?

    The uprights look to be plastic, with the bows being wood? Regular cutoff saw work good? Was testing to see if the deuce would make it into the pole barn. It's a 10' ceiling but 4" of concrete makes it super tight. I have to lower the CTIS to emergency and the light fixtures are still in the...
