Re: 50 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100
There was no hole in column stub and may have to drill one. The grinding of the column stub took forever stopping to mike it every time. I did get it together just now and used a suggested method of jacking up front wheel and cranking wheel back and forth (engine off) to bleed system. it burped a lot then quieting right down as air was expelled. This method supposedly prevents frothing and air entertainment usually seen with engine on bleeding. Also took time to increase clearance cut for hoses as they were rubbing fender skirts. Now rerouting the "fecally terrible" brake line job done by the aforementioned narcotic addicted mechanics.. FWIW local auto shop now up to 20, fired, would be mechanics, who may never be able work in the industry again. Some were certified. All that tech school money down the drain. Promise pics when done.
