Ill take better pictures. When I get it back to where I was... I was able to repair the slave cylinder and slightly modify it for a different style of bleeder that should avoid the issue happening again.

I'm using a fm145 trans and I'm having issues with the quick connects on the slave and master cylinders is it just those little pins in them to get them to come loose?

I'm really looking forward to seeing this done.

I *think* the quick disconnect works like a fuel filter, and you just insert the tool

So anyone else get into they're project an your like ok ready to test it go to test and realize you forgot something so you finish that and about to try it again and boom another little thing and another it feels like it will never end.... But from my previous lack of sleep banter you can tell I'm getting close to back on the road which only means I can start to fo some body and and get creative with my bumpers and headache rack and all that fun useless stuff that just looks cool and after wiring and linkages you just wanna play with but I'll stop boring you with my sleep deprived ranting I'll try to take some pictures

Lookin' good!!!

Stick with it man, the little things are a PITA just knock em' down 1 at a time. My DD still has random crap ziptied together

 

[1991fordranger1]

It's mostly due to the fact that I have bought very little I'm trying to do the entire built for under 3 grand I've done very well making a lot of things from scrap but it just takes a long time lol I'm getting to the end gotta break out the dry erase and make a list on te windshield.. Atleast we got some wierd warm weather up here to keep me going I have bikes piling up I'm suppose to get back into another reason why this feels so long bikes are tons easier in my opinion but this will be cooler then most.... Hmm smart car diesel in a bike that would be cool

I know what you mean. I tend to shy away from cars in favor of sleds. Just so much less with them and much simpler.

 

[simpler=better]

A diesel bike would be incredible....do it!

I love my old KZ440 and my ZX600. Even though the 600 is a 4cyl DOHC it's still silly stupid easy to work on.
