Annoying. Ebrake parts are backordered for 2 weeks. Oil pump is backordered 2 weeks. I guess I can start making brake lines… ---

Better now that you found it rather then when you take it out for the first couple times to beat on it and it shits the bed. Good time to polish it up and make it look nice. ---

Cleaned and painted these motherfuckers. Ordered 4 axles… had to mix and match to make 2 good ones. Will probably use the other 2 as cores for remans… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/axles-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/axles-1.jpg) Also installed one of the front brakes to check fitment. Looks pretty good. Those 12" rotors look small. ☹ ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/brakes-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/brakes-1.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/newmans-1986-bmw-326rb-build-thread/22123.md?page=101) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/newmans-1986-bmw-326rb-build-thread/22123.md?page=103)
