Greetings Group, Our December Farmer Boys event was quite chilly. It was also quite foggy. A real "Mad dogs and Englishmen" type of morning. So, who dared to drive their British classic cars? Well, Allan Perry of course, because, after all, he is English. He was joined by Bill Wilkman in his MGA and Randy Clary in his Jensen Healey because, they just may be the mad dogs. Or just crazy? Everyone stood in the foggy parking lot with hot coffee in hand. John and Marisue Meza at least brought a Healey part to show the group and inquire about the installation. It's a new Lockheed brake servo to replace the missing original unit in their '65 BJ8. I don't think we were much help and there were no BJ8's present to look at. I extended an offer to him to come to my shop and look at my '64 BJ8. He did and that did help.
Bill Wilkman also brought a "What the heck is it". See the picture. Do you know what it is? Allan Perry Pigured it out but most were stumped. The tool is used to straighten brake line.
New line generally comes in a coil. Thanks Bill.
