Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southeast Fall Dragon Run 05' cabin/hotel info

I hope my stuff gets here soon and I hope it stops raining so I can get it all done. I should get it done, but if not, I guess the contour can substitue for the escort.

You've got a little over a week and I hope that [censored] storm you guys are getting isn't too severe

Got done with the front brakes today. PITA as nothing went right with them. Lines don't fit like stock,etc. O well. Got the rear to do, bleed them all, and still waiting on brackets. If I for some reason don't get brackets here by Thursday, I'll put a new wheel cylinder on the side that has the old one on the contour and it'll be somewhat OK to use up there. I have a tranny cooler I really need to put on, but no time to do it.

Do whatever it takes to be safe Kremit

These brakes are aggravating. On escorts, there is an adjustment screw on the rear calipers to move the piston in and out. Well, I had to use a c-clamp and you're not supposed to. I reckon the caliper may be seizing.

We may have a "late minute additon" to our group, update coming soon

Decided to get both new rear calipers since that one was seizing up. Also got new m springs for the rear because they were missing but autozone gave me the wrong ones. I'll have them bring the right ones tomorrow. If for whatever reason they don't have them, the springs aren't required, but I would like to do it right.
Still waiting on sway bar brackets. Hopefully I'll have the escort ready to go by friday.

"...and down the stretch Kremit comes!" I'm leaving here in about 42 1/2 hrs, come on already!

You guys think there are still any rooms around there still?
