Business took me to Dayton Thursday and Friday, and Friday afternoon I drove
down to Cincinnati to visit Kent Miller and his used parts emporium <g>. We
pulled all of the necessary parts from his donor '63 Midget to convert my
Bugeye to disk brakes. I was amazed at how easily the fulcrum pins came
out. I also scored a functional non-leaking dual master cylinder! The car
came with some very pretty Minilite style wheels, but Kent unfortunately
doesn't want to part with them :-(. I tried my best. Most everything else
is for sale though. Rolled into my driveway at 1:53 AM with a load of good
stuff in the back of the pickup.
