    Who makes the best and most complete..

    Thanks Rick for your earlier post about Bauer. I bought mine from Chris he was great. He built mine with turn signals in the cowl and tail lights. Very clean install. I couldn't be happier.

    D-nut / Clinch nut

    When I did search I used "D-nut/Clinch nut" and got nothing, but after your response I just entered "Clinch" and found more info. I just need to figure out how to use the search more effectively.

    Just a Thanks to You Forum Experts

    I didn't hold out as long as Tom before buying a computer , but I did have the same initial reaction. I've been wrong before and I know I will have more mistakes in my future, but not fully appreciating the value of this machine (computer) was a huge error. Reacting as a curmudgeon sometimes...

    I understand, but if you do a complete rear brake job you might save having to go back in and go though the whole process again.:rolleyes:

    Rear Brake Shoe Lining Replacement

    I'm no expert but I have rebuilt the rear brakes and didn't mind dealing with the emergency brakes. That return spring on the E brake arm was baffling but I figured out a simple way to pull it around the arm. I used a mason line string looped around the spring end that wraps around the arm and...
