     This G/W has been triked. J T had been having a bit of trouble bleeding the brakes so I went to his Casa and we started the job after a phone call-well 2 calls-to da prez. Got the rear drum brakes bled-J T had already installed new shoes and new wheel cylinders and had replaced the feed line from the resivoir to the master cylinder-resivoir is now remotely mounted away from master cylinder-but the pedal was trying to firm up but still spongy. After calling da prez AGAIN we figured out the left front brake works with the rear brake pedal. An early linked brake system. The front brake lever ONLY works the right side brake in front. So we bled the front left caliper and Now he has got some serious azzed brakes on his trike. I believe that J T found out the axle used on his trike is early to mid 80s Ford Mustang-4 bolt wheels. NOW his Lovely Wife Will be able to ride with J T on this Saturdays-22 June-fund raiser poker run near here to help defray the costs of their Daughters kidney transplant this most recent past Easter. When J Ts Wife showed up after her job and she realized she would in Fact be able to ride this Saturday her smile made it ALL worthwhile. RIDE SAFE.
