Got a late start this morning running some errands, but did manage to get the braided SS hoses cut to length and hose ends installed after I got back home. The return line from the booster to the PS pump is cut to length but waiting for a fitting from Jegs. The one I had didn't match the existing one and they're so close together it was very obvious. With the hoses under control, I got busy on the spacer ring for the m/c. I scrounged up a piece of aluminum round from the scrap box and worked some lathe magic on it. Fits like socks on a rooster now. The ring will take up the slop and keep the m/c piston and the booster pushrod aligned. Tomorrow I'll start bending the SS hard lines that go between the m/c and the front/rear brake lines. The Jegs order also includes new SS tube nuts and sleeves as I didn't want to destroy the original lines. If this deal doesn't work out, I may need them again.
