Rob, thanks again for hosting the get together, as well as your hospitality. Please pass along my thanks to your wife for all the food.
John I'm in for a banner as well.
Jim, was that your gorgeous 66 GS near mine?? I checked it out at least twice, wish we could have connected for a chat.
My trip down was going great......until 2 miles west of Clearwater, MN, when I heard the unmistakable windmill sound indicating a seized fan clutch.
After confirming that, figured nothing to lose by continuing on to Rob's shop, albeit at reduced speed.
Sunday at the swap meet, I lucked out by finding not one, but two fan clutches, one of which came from a 65 Electra!! What are the odds of that?? Had plenty of *help* with the R & R while people passed on by wondering what we were doing.
Can't thank you all enough for being there with finding dropped nuts and washers, holding parts for disassembly, and passing on your knowledge.
Barely made it to Fargo last night, and after 8+ hours of sleep, north to Winnipeg! Drove about 950 miles total, used about 1 quart of oil, haven't figured out gas yet, but should be around 14-15 mpg.
I'll post some photos later today.
