Sounds like the exact kind of inspiration that many of us need occasionally. > Next step, install the brakes (Jim?, I'm still in > no hurry) so I can get it out of the garage so I > can drain the tank, remove and clean it. I assume those are your calipers which arrived last week? I haven't had a chance to look at them yet, but the box barely managed to make it to me. It looks like brake fluid leaked out and moved most of the address ink around so that only my name and most of the address were still legible. I think we lucked out this time. I now have 2 sets of brake parts queued up here, waiting for me to find time to deal with them. My daughter graduates from college in a week, so I'm going to be gone for about 7 days coming up soon, making family visits, attending graduation, and packing up the car. I hope to find time to get to all of these parts in mid June. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
