Working on the Midget today I found I have somehow misplaced a part that
came off it when I took it apart 2 years ago. My Haynes manual identifies
it as a "brake hose lock plate" for the left front (port side) disk brake
caliper. The usual suspects do not list it.
If you have one laying around I'll gladly purchase it. I'd also accept
ideas on how to proceed without it if that becomes necessary. It appears
that all it does is support the hydraulic brake line leading to the
caliper.
Also, if any of you geniuses (geniusi?) out there have a special trick for
a one man installation of the front springs, fulcrum pin and trunion bolt?
When we did the Holy Sprite I used my considerable bulk as the necessary
weight to compress the spring while Ryan Kubanoff put in the trunion bolt.
There has to be a one person way to do this...
With some luck I'll have the beast on its wheels by the end of the coming
week or early next week. Then the body sanding and Taco Bell wrappers can
commence!
I'm shooting for an OSHIT in Dodge City next spring.
