I'm finally starting to work on Bella.

Thanks! I went through your thread and thought I would just plug the upper port......until I looked at my existing brake lines and started questioning the wisdom of keeping them vs biting the bullet and running new since everything else in the brake system will be new.

I ended up making a trip to Advance and bending up separate lines to both sides. My thumbs are killing me and they aren't show quality by any stretch of the definition...and now I am seriously questioning my sanity.....but they are in and they (mostly) run like they should and end up where they need to. If the look bugs me too badly, I will torture my thumbs again when the front sheet metal comes off in the bodywork/paint phase later on.

Thanks! I have the week off so I have been trying to get stuff done while I can put in the hours at once.

Thanks! You've probably already guessed that it isn't as good as I'd like but it has to be good enough. This whole perfectionist thing is a curse!

Today's hiccup was trying to find the adapter for the rear side of the proportionality valve. Best I can tell, the female threads are 9/16-18? And I need to get to 1/2-20 male threads? I looked at Advance and O'Reilly's with no luck at finding an adapter fitting. I really didn't expect it to be that tough finding one. What am I missing?
