No brakes/ hillholder fix?

[TeamCF]

So my Soob is sitting in the drive with it's gushing hillholder out of it.

The "T" block I got from Napa does not fit (my line fittings wil not thread into the block, odd I [and Napa] thought they were kind of a standard thing).

 

So where can I score a hillholder rebuild kit or new unit in the morning around PDX?

Or exactly what part # do I need to eliminate it. (As in where do I get a certain "T" block?)

Did you try a metric T block?

 

 

Also what was wrong with the hillholder to begin with, not much to them to go wrong.

It decided to just puke out all my fluid last night. Big puddle under the car today. Empty master cylinder.

Been leaking since I bought the car but real slow and I always kept an eye on it.

 

Hmmm..... metric.... *smacks self on head* the one I got was the only one they said they had (not sure on it's exact thread type). Gonna have to hunt down a metric one in the morning. And buy some more fluid.

 

Thanks.

A quick loop around PDX (I left this morning, and just got back).

And I am home without needed part.

Time to change the clothes, grab some tools and just hit the U-Pull it.

Yank a rear one off of another Soob. (Or maybe I'll find another hill holder that looks to be better than mine. Then I wont' have to lengthen the MC line to reach the T)

 

Only metric T's I could find used a bubble flange. (VW)

I need an inverted flange.

Didn't think to ask about that when I called places. Just knew they had metric.

 

Glad I got a bonus last week. That'll pay for me missing work today this week.

 

Ahh well. Maybe I'll find some other stuff in the JY I want as well.

 

Getting to hate woking on cars again.

Now I remember why I made the switch to new and got into the habit of trading in once warranties ran out years ago. :-\

I know how you feel. every time I lose motivation for a while I think about it. Then I remember back to the days of car payments and full coverage insurance and that seems to help.

Yeah, I had a point when I was about to try and sell of my new car to get away from the payments and full coverage and switch to the Soob full time (I only use it as a wheeler).

But I'm stuck with it as I drove it too much too fast and it blue books out for less than half of what I owe...

(then there's all the body bumps from taking it off road in Arizona and Wyoming, and "RallyCrosses" that have jumps up in the middle of nowhere in WA.... Kinda kills the resale value )

 

Be nice to have an extra $400 in my pocket every month.

I'd have my GL built to the hilt in no time.

 

Then I'd have to buy another daily driver again.

 

And BTW. I fixed my GL's brakes all up.
