  1. Very nice Chris, hammering through the sucky work parts, great swim👍 you are definitely a legend at only 4 degrees 🥶🥶🥶. Ange it’s time to shock your system in order to get well faster, time for a swim 👍🤗🤗🤗🤗
    Great video as always 🤗

  2. Keep up the work brother, get your self some disposable nitrile gloves, protect your hands when playing with oils/chemicals. Then run the gloves when back on the tools. Also those cut safe gloves wash up good in with the washing.

  3. Keep up the good work, Ange should go for that swim. Now on to what I really wanted to say is take a step back from the brakes. The issue or issues may be very simple that your missing due to being both frustrated and tired. I would suggest having Beorn (hope I am spelling that right) take a look at or the retired army mechanics you consulted with before. Now have fun, stay sane and enjoy yourself and good building.

  4. The brake fluid leaks past the cups inside the master cyl. . Use brake grease to rebuild the master . Brake fluid will absorb moisture. I wish you would contact me , I have no problem to help the best I can.

  5. Owatrol is realy great!
    Do you still take the sun into account in warmer regions in terms of color scheme? Personally, on a camper, I would keep the top half very light.
    Nice video again! Love it! 😄

  6. Fantastic episode in what you must feel is so frustrating. Brave man taking a dip but I feel that Ange and Oak's should definitely have a crack, why should you have all the fun 😂😂. Looking forward to the next episode

  7. I wish I could help troubleshoot, but I am not a mechanic. Your consolation should be how impressive you look when you remain so calm. I don't think I would have such self-control. But you are in your playroom, which is what you have wanted and worked for. Best, :¬) Webhead USA

  8. Chris, like so many of the comments your pain and frustration regarding the brakes came across loud and clear.

    A great man once said. “Patience is the companion of wisdom” Sounds to me like your patience brought you the wisdom do figure it out.

    You’re working on a vehicle that every nut and bolt 🔩 is literally foreign to you and getting it done. You are doing great. That green monster is not going to beat you. We will be watching and sending lots of positive vibes all along this journey. Take care of your hands 🙌.

    All the best
    Lou🇺🇸

  9. Anneal your copper washers. Heat cherry red, drop in water. Done, soft again. Can do it again and again. Never need buy new copper washers again.
    Owatrol Öl then Brantho Korrux is awesome for stopping rust returning in those dark hidden areas, or anywhere really. Been doing that combo here in northern EU for decades now with great results.
