Progess has been made in the past few weeks. All the brake components are installed, silicone fluid bled through and I now have brakes! I still have it up on rolling blocks so I can push it to the side of the garage and allow my wife's vehicle to share the space. With all wheels off, this allows me to hook up and bleed all four wheel in minutes. Such an easy chore like this! No major problems just switching the left and right rear brake components for a while! I had a leak near the master cylinder area that I hope I fixed. The leak managed to spread the brake fluid over about a two foot diameter area under the front of the underside. I sprayed the master with carb cleaner to clean off the brake fluid, and I'll report later if I get any leaks. Next up? Dropping and tearing down the engine to remove the mud wasp nests between the cylinders and the tin. A lot of work for a bunch of stinking wasps!
