Today, I finally found some "Lil Red time"
I have been out of it for a little while.
I made up my mind I needed a little mental therapy.

I decided it was time to finally install Lil Red's own HCP Brakeline Extender.

This thread has nothing to do with the actual install but moreso with what was underneath.

Lil Red has been running the original "hand-made" brakeline extender. This was the inspiration for HCP's Extender. The Pre-production Prototype, if you will.

The purpose and location are the only thing these two units have in common.
I thought I would share with you (mainly those that have the HCP Brakeline Extender) what I HAD as opposed to what HCP offered.

Please remember, the original was made by hand with nothing more than an angle grinder and a hand drill.



LEFT: Original UGLY unit.
RIGHT: HCP Extender

After all of this, I found out my fuel filter is leaky...

As soon as I get back into manufacturing (HCP) there will be color option on MOST of my parts.

Example:

Here are the WHITE coil spring spacers for HER 91 Laredo a.k.a. Jeepster



Plus I have several different items in the works.
But SHHHHHHH...Don't tell Mrs Howler.
She'd kill me.
Im supposed to be "resting"
