    Transmission (P) Brake

    So after getting my turn signals worked out (still working on the white markers) today, I decided to tackle the Parking Brake. It seemed soft at best, but really non existant. So I started playing with the drum adjuster from above through the seat... didn't seem to be making a damn bit of difference. Wheels chocked, I ventured underneath. Hmmmm. Now, there's the handle... goes over there, comes over here and, WOW! there's the problem. The handle wasn't even attached to the actuator in the back of the drum. Quick rumage through the hardware cache and I found a bolt that would work.

    I can tell already that this thing is going to be an adventure. Previous owners did a lot of things right, and a lot of things half-@$$ed. Did end up doing a little 4 mile illegal (no plates yet) test drive to the in-laws to cut the grass this evening.

    Nothing else seemed to fall off so now its getting her plates and having a roll bar fabbed.
