Chevrolet C8 1940 Cab 11 restoration, The Netherlands

[Alex van de Wetering]

More brake lines. This is what I decided on the long line to the back.....armed with the MLU comments I decided to make a small detour in the line to reach an existing hole I could use for a clip. The Clips are also shown (3 planning in stead of 1 as on original)...all mocked up as I intend to spray the inside of the frame one more time before I fix the brake lines. The brake hoses also came in ;they are also loosely attached to mock everything up. Rear axle also received new lines.

I was planning on showing how I made the brake lines and which tools used, when my brand new tool broke! Or actually the threads stripped from the spindel so I had to use an old fashioned flaring tool to make the last two lines!

I also took the master cylinder apart...what a "surprise".....pitting! I am looking at having it sleeved here in Holland, but might end up shipping it over the pond and back for rebuild!
