Saturday was 90F and above 90% humidity all day with what seemed to be hourly showers just to make things soggy. It was so bad that my glasses fogged every time I stepped outside from my air conditioned house. Hard to breathe in that kind of pea soup. Sunday (today) has been raw, dark and rainy all day. Fortunately I have a tarp over the car, because the garage door dripped on it every time I opened it to fetch some kind of tool or part from the far side of the garage. I would immediately close it again so that the actual rain would not splash into the garage.
I worked on the new parts at the bench. The holes on the brake pedal bar were opened up to the proper size at each end to fit the respective pivot pins.
I also found out that my bending brake is only good for sheetmetal. I had to resort to the old-fashioned way (bench vise and sledge) to bend the bumper bracket parts. Not pretty, but it gets the job done. The bottom bend will have to wait until I dig up something wide enough to put in the vise.
Hoping next weekend is better!
