Huh?
So had the TB towed to the DIY shop for its eventual double bypass surgery. But as luck would be, the replacement fuel line came in minutes later (early by 3 days! Thanks Fedex). The shop is getting another lift installed and is swamped with work so may be delayed.

Dude I'm stoked that you got that fuel line early!!!!
- re:brass dust - I was turning a brass fitting into a steel port that was a little tight, and just from *two threads* and moving around my shop for a few minutes, I discovered that, amazingly enough, I then had brass dust imprinted into my leathers, ground into my chem gloves, hanging on my sleeves, hanging *just* shy of my camshaft cover, I mean... it was *horrifying*.
The worst thing that could've happened would've been a compressed air blast or a fan tripped on, because that sticky schmoo was *headed for the naked engine pre-prime goo*.
I spent at least 4 hours ziploc bagging and solvent cleaning everything... my calipers were among the assaulted, I mean, it was some destabilizing trauma that I'll never forget.
