Soooo, some progress. Of sorts. Finally found the piece I was missing, that was borrowed to finish the brakes on Steve's Scout. It's banjo boltish, short little critter that goes with the splitter block on the frame. Seems it's amde of unobtainium!!Even IHOnly dropped the ball on ti. Anyway, Alan (Binderfan) told me about some Scouts in a wrecking yard in Sunnyside. Went up there Yesterday, and they do have Scouts! And I now have complete brake lines. However, if you read back a few posts, I made a comment about the line to the rear being dry when I pulled things apart. Uh huh. Issue. Danny was kind enought to swing by to help bleed the brakes. No fluid out of the proportioning vale to the rear. Damn. I'm thinking the valve is either slipped to one side, or just bad. Going to try to recenter and see what happens. Suggestions are welcome!
Tonite I got the seat idea I had mocked up, and it looks good. Will finish that tomorrow, as well as study on the brakes.
I may make Liberty...
