-master brake cylinder;

Leo,

Great job. I know it will feel fantastic when the axles are mounted. Please let us know if you have any difficulties so the rest of us do not make the same mistakes when we go to assemble our GPAs.

Thanks for allr your compliments, it keeps me motivated to go on.
Soon I will post some more progress.

Dominique and Glenn, I really look forward to go in the water together one day

Michael, I will make a list of the difficulties I have faced along the way.
I will post that list somewhere next week. I think it is good to share them with others.
I also was very happy with all the good tips I've got from experienced GPA owners/restorers.
