Yea it was definitely like a commercial for pain pills! 

I am almost done with the heavy work. If I can just get the brake pins to move I will be good. I ordered new locking pins for the caliper slide pins, so now I can get a bit rougher with them and not worry if I damaging them.

Well my solution to one of my problems showed up this week, so hopefully I can get the tag bushings done. So it’s going to either hot as hades or raining this weekend, either way should be fun!

The sign in the background is appropriate!

Dang I bet those were cheap. You got a tool big enough to hold that die? Are you in the mountains or the flat lands now?

Well define cheap, haha, they were actually not bad a little over $40 each. I will use an adjustable wrench for the tap and I will probably just mount the die in my vise and turn the bolt. I am actually a bit worried that the tap may not even fit, let’s hope it does. 

Still working in Florida at my day job, industrial electrical contractor, so it’s going to be a few years before we make the move up to the mountains. I am ready now, especially with my new building.
