    Crazy brake pad ?

    It's getting harder and harder to find good brake pads for my series 2, but I can find later series all day. I have never had a later series pad in my hand, but they look close to the same size and shape. Has anyone ever tried to reshape a later series pad to fit an early series caliper?

    Went for a drive this weekend.

    We have great weather here so I went for a drive, this is 130 mile loop in my area. I start in Bakersfield Ca 400' elevation up the 178 along the Kern River to the 155 over the top 4400' elevation through Glennville back to Bakersfield on Granite Road. I love this drive.

I have been taking it a part to clean and check everything, so far it has only needed a new belt and head bearing. Getting close to completing the lathe, then I need...
