As I was losing my mind, because when I first fitted my rear rotors and rotated them,
they wobbled like the Flintstones jalopy! I was like what the hell! I screwed up the bearing install. My sanity was restored when i contacted Dave who asked “did you torque
the rotor all the way down” .....Ummm no. So after feeling like a Jack-ass. I did. I also went and purchased my first dial indicator. What a cool device! I checked both sides run-out.
Sent a vid to Dave to make sure I was doing this correctly. All checked out. I was within spec. Whew! Thanks @914Dave Always learning.
So then I was able to mount the rear (PMB restored (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) GT calipers. Owe Mark ( @mepstein ) a debt of gratitude for allowing me to purchase these from him.
Love that fresh factory appearance.
Need to order the soft lines and get some fluid, then... I’m sure the fun will begin.
Also need to source the E-brake pins. My previous setup was a nut and bolt.
Anyone have a source? My searches keep showing NLA.
Cheers all.

There are little caps that go on the outside (wheel side) adjusters too.

I'm not sure where you get them, just mentioning.

Time to update.
Been busy with my real job and also at the same time working on a new career.
Recently obtained a CDL license. That’s my bridge “job” to retirement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hopefully that
works out like I’d like it too.
Anyways .... A few more items to this project.
Connected 2 of oil tank lines. After reading some of the how to threads on here, I went and bought a HF set of those special wrenches. They worked out very nice.

Next up was the gauges and their corresponding wiring. Why is wiring so stressful?
I really hope they all function as they should!! The most challenging was the damn little
trip odometer cable. Don’t know why but is was a bugger to get it to lay proper, so it wouldn’t bind on the dash bulkhead.
Looks like my car received a tangerine colour dash before the black paint went on.

Ahhh the nice leather dash gets its place of honor. It’s a nicely done piece.

The supervisor joined me one evening, it was a chilly one. She’s getting up in age. 14 years now. Every day is a bonus. @bbrock knows this all too well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) buddy, for Niaqaq.

Changed the interior a wee bit. Decided to mount the shifter above the carpet... more mechanical look to it. Added the center storage box with my fuel gauge and low fuel lamp.

Thanks Dion. Give the supervisor a scratch behind the ears for me. Awesome looking buddy there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Heheheheh. Aww c’mon Mark! A little 70’s kitsch. Easily removed. 3M tape. If I’m honest not totally sold on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It’s a cool period piece though.
