It's hard to keep up with updates once the big stuff gets crossed off the list.
After getting the brakes and clutch bled, I started working on all the small things on my list. I managed to break both a tap and a screw off in my tunnel cap install. I went with tapped holes to use 4mm pan head screws. I was getting lazy and used the screw gun and ripped the head off a screw midway through the middle section and then with just 2 holes left to tap on the rear section, I snapped the head off the tap.
I got the parking brake lines hooked up, which required more TLC on the tubes than I was planning. If all your parts are in good condition, it's a quick job. Not so quick when you are trying to put new cables through janky tubes.
I did notice the rear brakes seem almost locked up when I put the wheels on, so we'll need to watch that to see if it is going to be a problem. The fronts are fine, but the rears seem to be a lot harder to turn with the rear wheels fully tightened. I've taken them off and reinstalled them several times now and it's the same on both sides in the rear.
Gauge pod mount and miscellaneous wiring have been addressed, but I still have lights and mirrors to wire in.
I've had this thing on jack stands for so long that I forgot how low they sit when they are actually back on the ground.
My Montana registration packet was mailed off today, so I'm hoping to have my temporary plates by early June. I did have to fill out a 'Fact Sheet' (MV121) that I hadn't seen anywhere else. It was provided to me by my Agent. I've attached it in case anyone is curious as to what it looks like.
I hope to tackle the alignment later this week.
I'm trying to decide if I am painting, wrapping, or powder coating my wing's endplates. I don't want to spend too much effort though as I'm not sure how long the Amazon wing will remain installed.
