But I do...hones' I do... Jus' could'n find 'em. All I could find was used ATEs... and my parts car runs too good to be scrapping yet...

All's good now. I got my new old calipers with near new pads on the back (just as fast as pulling pads out of the parts car I reckon'), put new pads in the front, got my shock fixed, and got my Virgos back on, got the car cleaned out, checked and topped off rear end fluid. Even re-set that damn brake warning light switch, and let the brakes bleed themselves for a bit.... (my vacuum bleeder is in the 122 in town...) And I got it all buttoned up and put away at about 3:55... just in time for 18 holes starting at 4.

Only problem now is that in doing all that, I found I've got some stinkin' play in the damn idler arm bushing. And I'm right outta idler arms at the moment...at least that I can find...

If it ain't one thing its another...
