The nasty job of bleeding brakes. How do you do it without assistance? You get out the inspection camera and point the camera head at the brake reservoir.

Eventually, the 2nd alternator and supporting H/W will go. Also, I have Parahelion copper-clad aluminum fat wire which will replace the existing fat wire.

Today I installed the new cover for the console and began work on the brake plumbing. I need to replace the line from the reservoir to the master as it interferes with the trim switch. Replacement parts now on order.

I had some maple veneer from another project which came in handy to cover the sheet aluminum plates. I think it's much more attractive than painted aluminum.
