Finally found some brake fittings that are very close to OEM. Had a couple of near misses before I found these. Slightly shorter unthreaded lead-in but otherwise dimensionally more or less the same. Not sure about the silver vs yellow plating...
The boot proved to be no problem. Silicone and done.
Everything out and saying goodbye to my beautiful floors!
Was not unhappy with how this stuff laid out.
Got all back together
Took it out for a drive and at first was not too...

I broke my clavicle last fall. Had surgery a couple days later. A week later I took the 40 to Moab. Sometimes it hurt, but it definitely lifted my spirits. I admit broken ribs might have changed that trajectory.
Reminds me of when I was on a ladder on top of a driveway covered in 'golden seal' (small polished rocks glued in) attaching the light by the second story windows here, and my brother (RIP - 2011) was holding the bottom from slipping.
Well, it...
Rescued my dad from potential impalement one day couple months ago. Boy do I have to keep my head on a swivel with him these days.
Glad you’re doing well Don! Gravity sucks
Damn it Don, what is it with the ladders. I hope everything will heal up good for you. I borrowed my Dad's ladders when he was in his eighties and I never returned them. He kept getting on the roof to clean gutters, stayed mad about it for years...
a little update.
had a little fall, spent a week in Hospital, a few broken ribs, yada, yada, yada. Home now getting better, off the oxy, feeling stronger everyday , a ways to go. Stay off Ladders after 70!
