Re: Project Picacho

Well it looks like a few board members are going up to the "Pavillions" next weekend so I will try and get Picacho up and running to roll up, unless 3 kids on Spring Break thinks otherwise

What's left to get on the road - for now:

I ripped a rear break dust seal - so I have a new one coming in, once in I will replace.

Tie in rear brake line to axle line - I need a 23" 3/8 steel braided. (any body have any recommendations - company, brand they like?)

Bleed brakes X4

Bump stops for rear - probably just 1" er's

ebrake cables - the one that came with my kit are about 10" to short!!!

Change oil filter over to modern screw on type

Alignment

Rear wheel spacers - since the offset is so much on the Boss 338 - I am going to add an 1" on each side. As is I have 1/2" of room till tires are hitting inner rear fenders - too close!!! (anybody have a recommended company?)

Install new steering wheel

Put bed back on

I think that is it! Maybe if I get a good day in next week and can knock most of it out - I will keep ya posted - Ronnie
