41 Days later and still no brakes!
Captain's log:
Day 1, Order Stainless Steel brake lines for 68 conversion. Day 5, Lines arrive. Day 7, Return lines due to wrong length. Order SWB and got LWB Day 17, lines arrive. 10 days..dang Day 20, Order Stainless Steel hose kit for 71-72 Day 30, Kit arrives with mis-matching ends on the hard line side and banjo bolts too big on the caliper side. Day 32, Return hose ends Day 41, Hose ends arrive but don't fit. Call O'Reilly's Auto Parts and find out they gave me the wrong calipers!! The original hose ends would have worked! SOB!! Tomorrow I will call Inlinetube and return the hose ends in return for the ones they initially sent out. I expect another 8-10 days delay. I can't believe it's taken so damn long to lay these SS lines. Meanwhile my motor sits waiting for a piston cutter. Seems I spend more time waiting for parts than I do working on my truck!
