Can't recall. However I used the original brake line nuts over again on the new lines. OEM's where of better quality that I could find back then and cleaned up well.



Need a good caliper in your arsenal (Mitutoyo**)

As gnarly as mine are, I'm creating a backup plan. Can't decide if I'll try and "restore" this one or not. I'd really like to just have a regular prop valve there. (That's what I was wondering)

Appreciate that pic, Brew! What is that NIBCO connection you have into the booster?

About time that got noticed...only took 20 years.

EDIT: Short story, - It was and old metal plate that came from a antique type spigot. I like that sort of stuff and didn't have the heart to toss it. It fit there, so I made it stick. It's still there.

There's also an old Sears and Roebuck plate riveted to the firewall somewhere. I can't recall who put that there...I doubt they remember as well. The garage was a hangout for awhile back in the day.

I love those old "just because" stories like that.

That's what happened here (see hood) Them bull horns were on the wall... the bowling trophy, on a mantle.

They say guys with big trucks are "compensating for something", but its nowhere truer than with the microphallussed dufus that has to hang fake ***** on his truck.

Usually it's a damn Dodge around here. What would compel anyone to think a ******* is a nice ornamental piece?

There was a truck in my kids' neighborhood with pink ones.
I noticed them when I picked her up and dropped her off one weekend.
I mentioned to m ex that I was surprised the HOA allowed such lewd offensive things.....

Well, the next time I picked my kid up, they were no longer hanging on the truck.
My ex informed me she got the other neighbors all to complain to the HOA.
