You'll have to ask him nicely if you want a avatar change ...

Anyone of you who knows wiring up for a small project whilst in Palm Springs?
My driving lights just arrived, along with a dash switch and a Bosche wire relay.
I have no clue what to do with this stuff yet.
I can bring some tools... but what's needed? Just a screw driver and socket wrench set?
Free beer to anyone that can help with this.

It's a brave man that goes to Rt66 expecting to get something installed by the crew.

I should have NOT fucked with my brakes today. The new PMB stuff arrived, fronts are okay, rears not okay. Missing parts and a big mess. I may not make it. I drove home pumping the brakes that worked perfectly this morning. No pedal. Really pissed.

Hey Sir Andy,
Thank you very much for the Live Event Uploader you so generously provided to increase our fun and more efficiently share it with others.
It would be really nice if we could have a special custom avatar for the weekend.

Try bleeding the rears again. Maybe you don't have all the air out yet

The right rear is leaking now. I have brand new PMB brakes but they didn't come with adjusters to vent the inner piston. I got them all installed.
We figured them out…..duh.

What is a pisser is that I had wonderful brakes and I went and screwed them up. I should have waited until I got back to do this.
Any chance to throw the old rears back on, bleed them out and get going?

Sucks- at least you weren't on the road when they went out. And no adjustment available on the rears? How is that possible?
I was just over at Erics' earlier today pressing in new rear trailing arm bushings- Would have been able to relay messages to help if I'd known earlier...

Pull the adjusters out of the old calipers and install them in the new calipers.
If your M/C is shot, good to know it now instead of on the road. I know you really want to take your 914, but you don't
need a 914 to enjoy the run … I've done it in Toyotas more than in 914s.

Ditto that is how Eric sends them out without the adjustor. That is unless you sent him yours to be rebuilt. If you buy a set from him they do not come with the adjustor. Where is it leaking from on the caliper? Bleeder or one of the seals inside?
Between your new set & your old set. Is the leak coming from the same side? Any chance it is your brake line itself. Seems pretty random to have your brakes be fine in the morning. Then upgraded with your new rear calipers. Only to have not only the new set but your old set that was fine leak. Something doesn't sound right there. Not sure when we are coming in or how far away you are from Palm springs. If your close I'd be happy to come by & lend a hand. Not sure I want to touch anyone's 914 though. My luck this trip is for shit

We are going to give it another shot this morning. It would have been nice if I would have known about the rear calipers not being complete. I just assumed for the money I paid, they would have a minute part on them that actually makes them work. I have three sets of rears now, I guess I can cobble something together. Super frustrating. Wish me luck.
We got 'R done!!!!!! See you guys in P. S.
