Before the next update, I want to send a shout out to a great vendor. It is not often that a company surpasses my expectations, but
Stainless Bros definitely has.
This is how they packaged one half of the 4" v-band clams that I received from them.
Each v-band was in it's own box and the clamp itself was in its own sealed bag.
The v-bands themselves are like jewelry. Each half indexes into the other, which is a great feature that makes it easier to align the pipes.
I was also able to make it out to my local Napa store and picked up a roll of 5/16" butyl tape. I used it so seal the back of the close-out panel that I made the other day.
I was also able to use the boot that came from DSE. This is a boot they use with their low angle vacuum assisted booster.
Once the iBooster is installed the plate isn't really visible.
I also started on the new brake lines. I am using 3/16" NiCopp for the front brakes and 1/4" NiCopp for the rear brakes. The 12mm flare to AN adapters are from Earl's. I am not really happy with how far they stick out, but I am not sure what there is to do about it.
I also got this Cummins turbo drain as a starting point for my drain. More on that in a future update.
