Now you need to take the air hose and blow that pile of black dust away.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Bingo! I try to explain to guys nowadays about asbestos brakes and they tell me that they have not been made from asbestos since the 70's. I say yea, and when do you think those NOS brakes are from? And some heavy truck brakes were made from asbestos going well into the 80's. I have a five gallon Spackle bucket that I put play sand in and I have some holes in the bottom of it. When I get one like that I put the bucket under it and rinse it down into the bucket with the hose and then dump the wet sand into a trash bag and out for the trash. I don't want it on the ground and getting kicked up in the dust by the mower once it dries. The bag will keep the sand wet until it is buried at the dump so everyone is safe that way.
By the way, I blew out brakes with air for years just like all us old farts before we knew better. Maybe that is why I can't breath now.
I can't believe how quick she starts up. Seems like it turns over about 3 times and fires up!
Naw...I'm trying to control myselfI cannot wait till the Godfather jumps in the K and fires that baby up the first time. Nothing like being there in person to really see it.
I have a funny suspicion a sneak attack is in my future from CAMO. Keep Doc away from it cause all he'll wanna do is chuck it away in a museum.
She WAS MV of the Month...last month.Nice time to take the weekend off guys ...live alittle. BBQ and a cold beer...Now that's the life...No Ice Cream truck make it a BBQ/Beer truck...I would vote for it to be the MV of the month.
Yes Siree Bob Dixie!! I'd dern sure find SOME way to get that baby back to good ole Georgia!!If it is.....PB will find a way to get it home.
Funny you should mention the trip to New Yuck. Today I had the van over in the shop and the guys were checking everything out again and everything was hunky dory. We were standing in front of the van listening to her purr and suddenly I see coolant start leaking up front!!Update - front brake system totally ripped down.
Have rebuild kits coming for the wheel cylinders as they honed out nicely - pucks even look great and seat great (little leather honing). Brake hardware all degreased and cleaned up.
Turn signal switch arrived today so I am starting to collect electrical items - few pieces on BO yet - hang in there.
Few brake components on BO as well - but we'll be ready for them when they arrive.
Will stop at AutoZone on the way home tomorrow from work and creep into their brake fitting bins - Both NAPA stores near me suck as their fittings are not in the bins they say they are and brass scattered all over the floor - what a total waste.
Get the lines and only a few fittings needed.
Wonder if PB realizes while he lounges up in NY - and IF the rest of the brake system shows up for the steer axle that I can PLUG the rear lines and have brakes on the steer to drive it around - now that is funny. I doubt there will be a video of it cause my death would soon follow. (still funny tho).
