Jonathan - I'm confident I'll like it. And, I'm sure Blacktop will as well when he gets his hydroboost installation done. Hopefully that will be soon and we'll get a report on it. He's well ahead of me as I fight the RSK battles.

Re: Hydroboost brake conversion

Welded a new tab on to the mounting bracket at 90 degrees to the original position. This gives the right orientation for the hydrobooster.

Bracket back on the booster.

Again, apologies for the pics at the wrong angle.

You are sooooo close! Gonna finish it this weekend?

And the welding looks great.

On the pics, open them in a photo editing app, which will usually re-orient them, and then save them. That saves the re-oriented version.

But if you can save-as and make the file less than 1 Mb you don't have to use any of the "resizing" options and the pic will be bigger on our screens.

Re: Hydroboost brake conversion

Hopefully get it done next week 🤞
I take the pics on my phone as I don’t tend to use a pc very often. Tried rotating the pics and saving but still no good. Might try and find a photo editing app for my phone and try that.

Can't wait for the results!

On the pics, I've been told that holding the phone in landscape mode works w/o editing, but I haven't tried it.

Bummer. Then one of the free photo editing apps might be the ticket.
