| 7.11.07 Fuel Tanks being dropped - Don't look too good. Lots of rust and stuff swimming in the tanks - Jim had the tanks refurbed if that is the correct term and pressure tested - we saved at least $1500 by not having to buy new tanks. Worth Doing. | Where the fuel tanks are mounted. | |

| Now for the front brakes. | You will notice that the brake hose has a "banjo" fitting on the end-- this means the coach had been fitted with 80mm calipers. There is currently an insurance problem with these brakes in CA. We'll go with the originals thank you. | |
