I love it when a plan comes together, but occasionally it doesn't. Today, it didn't. The bolts that actually mount the sway bar itself to the trunk floor were two inches too long and one of the bolts that tie the sway bar to the rear suspension was damaged. So, it will be tomorrow or Monday before I can complete the task. Everything is painted, so it will be fairly easy to install.
Even though my day didn't go as expected, I did not waste the shop time I had. The day was spent restoring the master cylinders for the clutch and brake. I cleaned both cylinders and painted them with stainless steel paint. Stainless steel paint is a very good product that resists rust, but the jury is still out on how well it stands up to brake fluid...we will see. Photos of the cylinders will be posted tomorrow.
The master cylinder mounting bracket, cover and line connectors have already been restored, so the installation of the hydraulic system can be accomplished in just a few hours.
Stay tuned,
TD
