So for the last few months I couldn't find the special shouldered bolts that
attach the center axle bearing housing to the engine, that thing has just been
hanging out until now. I found the bolts while looking for other things,
so that is now attached for good.
Also I deemed it time to install the radiator for good, that thing looks
nice! I had pulled it out to protect it until now.
I also secured some of the brake lines to the car a little better, and
cut/installed the heater hoses. There also is this little breather box on
the back of the engine that needed a new O-ring, I put that back together too.
I'm installing the shift linkage, that thing was perfect but for some
reason, it is hitting things. I'll have to beat on it a bit. Another
thing I did was to order some bolts that will be used as wheel studs through my
brake disk, drive flange and wheel spacer stack up. Then on go the
wheels!

| Radiator in for good (I'll put the cardboard back on). I still may pull it out this winter so I can paint the slam panel. You can see this picture was shot before I finished putting on the rubber guard. |

| Here are two heater hoses finally plumbed, I had to buy an adapter to go from one hose size to another. Ugly clamps are in place but this winter I have plans to put some sort of shrink clamp thing that will be much cleaner. Now that I'm looking at this photo, I see the old brake line mount (bracket with hole near top center) that should probably go away or??? |
