Re: Brake/Suspension up-date
I agree totally with the others, It looks great!
You and your wife going to split the cleaning chores now? You can wash the car and clean the interior and windows and she can clean the newly painted parts? Hope she doesn't read this!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

Re: Brake/Suspension up-date
Dale,
Mine are not completely assembled, adjusted (see brake cable) or bled yet, so there is no fluid to leak (see empty master and fronts not yet installed). But, I can assure you that the old system didn't leak after 34 years and neither will the new one.
When did you suddenly develop brake fluid leaks? I can't believe that David left anything to chance with the brakes when he was there.
Every day is an adventure with Amos, isn't it?

Re: Brake/Suspension up-date
OEM is .70 bore, TR3 and 4 used .75 for a year or two which I had installed about 4 years ago,now went to Morgan cyl.which are.875.The .75 cyl really didn't make much difference so I thought I'd try the .875.Would like to see a little more brake at the back.Maybe the material was to hard on the last set?

Re: Brake/Suspension up-date
Thanks Opa. I didn't know about those differences.
Here is a link to my updated web site page with all of the pics so far for the brake work.

Paul,
Absolutely spectacular! Judging by the photos there appears to be some great workmanship and more importantly good progress with the installation!

Re: Brake/Suspension up-date
Harry,
Thanks for the compliments. One of the reasons that I get along so well with Erik is that he can read my mind about the car. If we're working together on something, I know what he's thinking and vice versa.
He also knows that I want it done only one way and that is the right way, so whatever time it takes, it will take to get it right, because there is no other option.
We halted the assembly of the right rear suspension due to a very slight leak from the axle seal. I didn't have another and I'll have to wait until next week for the seal and new nyloc nut, but the cars not moving anyhow, so why not?
It also gives me plenty of time to take pictures along the way.

Re: Brake/Suspension up-date
Tom,
I almost missed your post. I have taken over all of the maintenance of the car, including ALL cleaning, top or bottom, via the old familiar "it's exactly what you wanted, so now you take care of it" line from the boss.
Kind of like when I got my first dog......
