A quick trip to town for some LP fuel hose, a Master Cylinder Boot to cover the piston end, and a 3/8x24 bolt to extend the brake rod and I found that our NAPA store closed! The storefront is bare, stripped of all the signage except the stains! At O'Reilly's I got them to cut a piece of hose, then asked about the boot. After several minutes I told the guy, "I can get one from Summit - just Googled "Master Cylinder Boot" and his reply was "If you can get it on line I'd say go for it! I'm not finding one here...."
Like Jim Robinson said, ordering what you need on-line has become the best approach which is the death knell for small businesses on the local front! The BBT (UPS) will be bringing me the boot, a fuel pressure regulator, and a couple of chunks of battery cable early next week.
I got the brake lines back in place and the calipers installed on the front, awaiting the master cylinder that needed another shot or two of black this afternoon. The fuel line is in place too, with the BBT bringing some more pieces. I started to mount the gas tank and realized I'd neglected to paint the stub filler tube so I primed it and rattle canned it black, drying tonight. Not big progress, but progress none the less!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
Hated to see that news, he was a good online friend.
