I got the brakes done. I used brake lines; Raybestos: BH 38622, BH 38623, as in this article;http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/ReplacementBrakeLine_Front.html. I pried off the metal clip that are half way down the line by using a vise and a large flat screwdriver. I also replaced the brake line between the two sides with a pre-made 60" line connector piece. The drivers side you have to get a 3 hole junction block and a 8" pre-made line to replace the drivers side line that has the hole for the 60" line connector.

Got the fuel cell installed, still need to plumb.
Got the battery moved to the back passenger side rear. Built a battery tray that will accept a marine battery box and used jumper cables that I bought at a yard sale for C$25.00. The cables are heavy duty 2/0 gauge. Ran a line from the battery to the 'emergency' disconnect mounted by drivers door. From there I ran to the fender well solenoid.I cut off the original battery end from the starter and soldered a lug on to connect to the solenoid.

My friend Rob came by, so I put him to work. I got him to sand and primer the cage outside the cab. I wonder if he'll drop by again???
