  • so most of the day was spent on stuff like painting deck rails and mowing my dirt bike track.... however, things were accomplished
    soft lines for the efi





    I really need to set this back on the frame and actually bolt it down... so some pads needed anti-rust protection



    also opened up the steering shaft area

    and a touch of black to keep the rust worm away

        My kid uses a Hustler Zero turn mower to do bike trails and electric fence clearing
        Goes forward anywhere, reverse, not so much.

            • bad decisions come with carriers (and was a distraction, thus why it's here)

                • and then I had a few minutes to work on this


                  sleeved the inlet so the hose fits

                  and there we go

                  next up....

                  • so this is happening... maybe... I may have messed up the threads so made more work for myself


                    anyway, I pushed it off to the side for a moment because I'm not having luck finding a 2 into 1 brake line T. I need 1/4" line flared into 2 3/16" line fitting.... all I've found is either soft line (regular thread not pipe thread) into 2 3/16 flare fittings.... I could machine it, but in a last ditch effort, I figured I'd ask here.... part number and/or link would be cool ... thx.

                    Once the fitting is found, I can finish the brake lines and get the body back onto the chassis then push to the end.... but for now, I'm stumped.

                      im usually really good at this stuff--my googlefu is strong- but the closest ive seen
                      is a 3 way all 3/16 T...maybe that plus an adaptor on the 1/4 side?

                      • IIRC old pickups (we're talking early 50's type stuff) used a 1/4 T on the rears, so again, adapters needed.

                        • So far, the closest I've found is 1/4" on all 3 sides - which require reducers.

                          The issue with pickup Tees is they usually have a hose to one side - which is a different fitting... ask me how I know this....
