Thank you Ale. I decided to have a break with it, as I'm actually involved with the Bronco Buffalo. Don't worry....stay tuned....sooner or later......

Not to hijack your thread, but what did you do about the 'tubing' that's really wire? I'm having a devil of a time getting the wire onto the various hydraulic nipples, because the wire is in the way. I've looked around for replacement tubing online, but can't find .7mm tubing that isn't heat shrink type. Hobbyboss messed up here!

Hi Lee,

This is what I did last night in regards to the wire. I just used some regular electrical wire that was the same thickness. Take a pair of pliers and hold the metal part of the wire, then just start pulling down on the rubber or plastic part of the wire with your fingers and it will start slipping off. Just make sure you don't strech the plastic because it will leave a mark. This will leave you with tubing that can be slipped onto the nipples with no probelms. I did this with about ten pieces of wire last night and it only took a few minutes.

Thank you both. I was planning on drilling holes anyplace the hose wasn't going to a nipple, but I'll have to de-wire to get it on those nipples. I've set the kit aside to await some PE anyway.

Yo Guido, you are doing some nice work here. I like the extra touch inside the cab...especially, the American flag

Also, the welding seam on the trailer...nice work ah. All you guys building this kit is like the best thing for me...when I start mine I'll know a lot of weak spots that I can jump on quick. So, keep it coming my friend

Mike
