2017 - Tune Up Day - May 13th

Post by Marla »

**Change of LOCATION**

Tune Up Day will be May 13th at Bruce's Shop.

Address is:
686 Prospect, Berea,OH 44017

Bring your bus out and get it tuned up for the season. Bring a small project you have been needing to get done or need some help with. This is a great way to learn form some of our more experienced members and prepare for the summer.

Even if you don't want to get dirty, come hang out have a donut and coffee. Meet newer members and shake of the snow. :D

I'll be there! I'm looking for some help installing replacement door rubber on the driver and passenger side front doors. I can also offer some of my mechanical skills for others.
I don't weld. I don't fabricate. And I can't even fix most of the things I break. But I do have niche-iness to offer. You're welcome.

I will bring the highly specialized auto-stick adjustment stick. This specialty stick adjusts auto-sticks.

Could someone help me install a new draglink on my 78 if I supplied it? I don't have the proper tools.

Brandon (THINGE) is your drag-link go to guy on this repair, his innovative removal methods will leave you speechless, bay buses are his specialty, he's had some difficulties with split buses (as has Rick), but seriously we'll all be there to assist...

Much Appreciated! I detected a tad of sarcasm, but I am used to that. I have Stage 4 COPD (There is no stage 5) and want to leave my daughter a good running bus. It is 85% restored.(Thanks to Bus Junky!) :)

That was indeed sarcasm but only between Brandon and I from a drag link incident last year.

To anyone else I will bring along my Innovate O2 meter if folks want to see how lean or rich they are running. Its neat to have some actual numbers to help train your tuning senses.
