    Don't ya hate it when your "brass" fittings get stuck to a magnet?

    Yeah...my brass fittings accidentally got stuck to a magnet. I guess it's my own fault. The shop had sets of fittings in little baggies. They had gold and steel gray. I didn't specifically ask if the "goldtone" was brass. Next time I'm bringing a magnet.

    Wrong flex line?

    Replacing 9" drums with KH 4 piston discs. The flex line i have doesn't fit through the tab welded to the sub frame. The tab and original flex line have a flat spot on one side, I presume it's to keep the line from spinning. The disc brake flex line does not have the flat spot and won't fit...

    WTF did I do?

    Okay...trying to do a KH 4 piston swap and all the bushings. When I installed the UCA's in what I thought was the original position the ball joint wasn't even close to the spindle. When I swapped it to the other side the ball joint lines up, but it's at a crazy angle and I'm 99% sure this ISN'T...

    Disc brake MC pushrod

    I'm still trudging along on my drum to disc conversion on my 72 Valiant. Switching the 9" drums to 4 piston KH disc. I was about to order a master cylinder and I realized I don't know if the drum master cylinder pushrod is the same. Does anyone know? Manual brakes if that makes a difference.

    Okay...I was in the process of KH SBP disc change over on my 72 Valiant, and decided to redo ball joints, bushings, ect. for the sake of safety.
