If the leak is coming from where the fitting screws into the plate (the tapered pipe thread). Two things you can use on the threads. A couple wraps of teflon pipe tape, or teflon pipe dope (paste). You never want to put anything on the taper of the fitting and the straight threads where the hose screws on.

I found it. The bottom line fitting was loose. Must've jarred loose from all the banging I did on the subframe..lol

Ooopss... just spent the money on something else. So double no rush on your end ;)

Did you ever hear back from Joe on the diff? Competitive pricing? I'm gonna be ordering clutch and other stuff from him next week :D

Oil leak fixed. Oil changed diff gear oil changed.. time to shower then enjoy my hard work with a drive down the coast with the top down...

This time next weekend, I'll either be driving home with new brakes and hood vents, or old brakes and a missing hood.

If you're going with the Z1 Premium lines, make sure you have the proper hardlines front and back and also the hardline brackets for the rear. I researched the upgrade for a while and didnt see anywhere that mentioned both of those things.took forever to order those part as I realized I needed more parts

Nope. Skipped the premiums and just got the Z1 SS lines. More slack and less points of failures.

If Mr. Rusty allows me on his wifi, I can stream the hood cutting moments just like the demon bolt removal from last year.

I told him I wasn’t in a rush and to let me know when he got it all squared away.
Hit him up, he has fast response times. :tup:

Ew earned his storage of the Z. Helped me move bandsaws and other heavy *** crap back downstairs. Made ribs in sous vide bath; 165f for 6 hours. They needed a bit more bath time I think. The turned out edible though.

I’ll still try to ship it out this week as I have a dr appointment during one of the days

I'm accustomed to 8 hrs in a bath. But I also cold smoke for 2 hrs beforehand.

I’ll take a nice cold Mt dew, thank you.

7-8 hours seems to be the sweet spot. We got done a little bit early and I was hungry/tired/grumpy so we made do. It wasnt terrible but not amazing.

You need to soak the brake lines where the new hoses will connect to with BP Blaster. The last thing we need is a frozen brake line nut. :tup:
