Brakes
Today I received the bolts for the front calipers.... time to finish this up
first a bunch of milling on what I welded yesterday
I resisted the urge to sharpen the carbide (I should have but it worked)
then drilled the holes
wow, it works, errr... well that's no surprise that it worked just like I planned
Installed new upper ball joints
for the life of me, I can't figure out why this is an issue now - but one bolt should be shorter to attach the hubs.... thankfully, Mr. Cutoff wheel came to the rescue
and look, the rear
and the front - to be honest, I don't know of a 14" rotor for this application (the C5 uses a 13")...
so I've been waiting on some parts to arrive so I can finish up the frame
such as rebuild parts for the C6 front suspension
it was cheaper to buy this as a kit then individually... and hate on Chinese (like I do) but they put lube points on all the moving points... I guess we got too smart for that?
and fuel line....
which I bought twice not knowing that aluminum is advised against by FItech.... ah well, it was really cheap and I'll use it for other stuff... new brake line is under that stack too
Got around to removing the seats and carpet for the next phase
what I wasn't waiting for was more metal work inside.... this is why I like up to 75... no metal floors, or speedholes in the metal floor
I'll get on fixing this Thursday... ah well. This year finish goal was more of a hopeful guess.
