Busy weekend doing yard work, front hill needed a new batch of
mulch but found time to refresh the tired E-brake. Found a nylon spacer at Lowe’s. It was close, a 5/8 x 1/2 x 1/2. Sanded down a little on the outer circumference and tapped her in with a brass hammer. It’ll do. Attached image(s) |

Better, bottom pic with spacer tapped in. It moves nicely on the pivot shaft after a test fit. That’ll do for now.
Thanks for looking in. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Well between life (freshening a 914) and my other life (Family) and work. Here’s a quick update. Just
Cleaned and spruced up some air elbows. Attached thumbnail(s) |

And restored a free air tank. Moved components off the rusted out, iffy older tank.
Found a sound one through a friend. Placed everything back on. The weight of the compressor pump is amazing. And for a short dude it took every ounce of my energy and with help from my son to get it on the tank. ( a hoist would have been real handy) Wired it up and runs great. Just need to address a tiny pinhole in the copper cooling coil and bolt it down. It likes to walk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Frankenstein it is. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Nothin groundbreaking, just adding to my thread. Not a
lot of garage time of late. Between work & my son graduates HS tomorrow nite. So little things get done for now. Steel wool and a lick of paint for the seat runners. Before: Attached thumbnail(s) |

Hot & humid.....time to sweat in the garage.
At least one P-car is running. While the other is still in sick bay. My mentor Dave stopped by this morning and set me up for the next task on the left interior portion of the longitudinal kick up. Attached thumbnail(s) |
