Success!

Joe the Champion (JtC) came around for a short stint this morning. Within 15 mins he had the long front brake line out of the car... excellent and scum all rolled into one!

After a short phone-around, Brakepro Thornleigh had the best price for a replacement so I ran the old line up for them to duplicate. 45 minutes and $33.55 later... done!

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Joe whipped the RHF drum assembly apart, drifted the old wheel bearings out, punched in the new ones and we then packed them with grease...

In the evening I hit the back of the drum backing plate with a wire brush, degreased it and hit it with a layer of black acrylic.
