Hell yeah, new headliner is definitely in the works right after the new year!.. looking into the complete interior. Im a sucker for plaid and the new TMI sets are pretty cool. I wonder if it matches well with the headliner.  Also I think Franz said once that my seat is incorrect, so i would probably correct that moving forward as well….

Happy Holidays You guys!  Look forward to seeing you after new years!

This is getting ridiculous, you guys are leaving a week before the show starts??? To wait in line?

Ive been watching this with a kind of odd bewilderment, and while seeing all of those busses is neat and all….that looks like the worst time ever !  Just looking at the pictures of everyone crammed in their makes me feel claustrophobic.  And I’m not anti-social or anything but that is way to many people on one spot for me to deal with …yikes.

Ill enjoy the pictures though!

Franz, Took a Pic of the backing plate while home at lunch.  No Holes in the backing plate which  guess means earlier style.  Old brakes were 1 3/16 wide and the ones I bought were 1 9/16.

I ordered the parts before I tore things apart and if memory serves me I ordered the wider type 3 brake shoes and cylinder because in my mind I thought we had done that when it was installed.  Apparently it was just thing drums.

I included a pic of the new shoe just so you could see what I bought.

 

Me thinks I should smoke less and pay more attention when at the shop!  And as always, thanks guys for answering the dumb questions
