I did a quick sort of my fastener container removing all obsolete duplicate hardware. The reason I did this is I have misplaced the attachment bolts for the front caliper brackets. I was looking for them to complete the mock up of the front brake system. I remember removing them and putting them in the Eastwood tumbler to clean them up but where they have gone is a mystery??? I will venture out into the garage today and check again. I have a feeling I have but them into a container of some kind and moved them out of the way? If no luck I will need to purchase some new ones (which I should probably do anyway)
I traced out the modification that is required on the dust shields for the front brakes. I plan to tackle the mods today.
I did some cash flow planning yesterday trying to determine what the most logical order is for ordering the parts I need to get the chassis back together. After much pondering I have decided to just order the rack and pinion conversion kit this month leaving the pulley replacement and electric fan, brgs etc for order later in the year. The Moss sale is very enticing but I really don't want to spend the money and have the parts just sit around for an extended period of time. The pulley conversion, alternator and the electric fan installation can all wait until the car is painted and almost ready to drive. The other piece of the puzzle is to determine what to do with the '57 to generate some cash flow for the remaining purchases vrs taking the cash out of my bank account.
