Yeah that's what he did last time. I should be able to do all or most of it by myself with Kirk just watching in case I need any help.

Probably can't do it this week. How about either next Thursday or right after our next MD meet next Saturday?

Yesterday, at Kirk's Garage, he and I installed my brake upgrade from Z nats.

It took a bit longer than we thought it would, but in the end, the brakes work wonderfully and look fantastic.

Look ma no wheels!



Brakes are on.



The doctor is in.



pretty pretty

The new brakes look great, Al.

Hey Kirk, do you think you could help me install some heat wrap? Shahid gave me a whole roll of the stuff.

I would, but I don't think heat wrap works on brakes.

It would take a bunch of that stuff to contain the 5.0 hotness.

Besides it is time for you to trade in that old sway back nag...
