Today april the first I filled the brake system with
silecone brake flued.
In fact it is to late to do this at this point but
when you are building up you are so exited that you
that you postpone this important job.
So I was a little bit afraid for leaks because all
connections are hard to reach!
After filling the system and after we were shure
that there was no air in the system ,the brake pedal
felt good and hard!
:lol:
I spend the rest of the day with finishing small paint jobs
and installing small parts.
The prevent rusting I sprayed "Tectiel" (anti rust flued) in
the "V" profiles and other places.
The GPA is now ready to try her again in the water!!! :roll:
Last friday I collected my last missing parts at a dump store.
I now have all the small hoses (instead of the copper linings)
to draw off fuel tank and cooling system.
When there are no leaks in the water (what I surely hope),
then I can install the remaining deck plates!
