UPDATE: This was supposed to be published this morning, but I was so tired last night I screwed it up .. so here it is, delayed ….
I’ll have a few updates around 9am PST.
I was busy all day Wednesday on Patterson, then worked until midnight on Alaska Or Rust stuff, so updates will be delayed. Here are some brief updates on Wednesday’s work:
- I reinstalled the heater blower switch. Success! All three speeds work.
- I’ve half-installed the R&P dual master cylinder mount. Since I’m going to pull the engine anyway, I will wait to finish the installation until after I’ve pulled the engine. It will make doing the brake lines much much easier.
- I pulled the rear main on Rusty’s engine and replace the bolts for the flywheel, then reinstalled the rear main and oil pan.
- I figured out that Patterson was originally painted either President Red or Cherokee Orange, which looks pretty red.
