Well, after letting her sit for over a year, I decided to put the brake hoses on my B. Also had to bleed the clutch line. she's almost road ready again. Started right up after the pump primed. Still have that HS6 to install though. Here's a couple shots...

That's right after installing the front brake hose...

and that's in the front yard after I moved her so I can bleed the brakes tomorrow.

It will be great having her back on the road!
 
Go Kenny. I bet you can't wait.
 
I was tearing up the little road in the first picture this afternoon. Got the brakes all bleed, I can now lock up all 3 working brakes... The right rear metal line is still pinched. The one I got from tony last year isn't long enough. She's running good, but a bit rich. I'll go by and get her re-registered tomorrow, and then it's on!
 
Welcome back, thoutht you had droped off the end of the world.
 
Woohoo, back on the road (well, almost). Drive that baby, drive!
 
Making bubble flairs on Bundy pipe should be in your bag o' tricks, Kenny!!! NAPA has the pipe, anvils and tool for reasonable dollars and you could actually have ALL four corners with brakes in no time!

Just the idea of only three working is scary to me.
 
ooooh more stuff to buy at Napa. I bouhgt the brake bending tool but did not know you could do the flairs yourself. I'll have to look now.
 
<*THUD!*>
