Came in a little long at exactly 23-1/2 minutes.
Repairing a broken cover that I'm going to use for my Aprilia hydraulic clutch mod. Didn't want to drill mounting holes for the slave cylinder in a perfectly good cover.
Edited the video again, and got it down to 23-1/2 minutes. Decided I was speaking too slowly, so I sped the whole thing up by 10%. Hopefully it's a little less boring now.
Thanks for saying that, but not sure how entertaining it really is.
I've made short vids before, all shot in one take, with no editing, but this was totally different. Took an incredible amount of time to shoot and edit. Going to make a video of my hydraulic clutch mod, which will be an easier video to make, and it just might be my last ambitious video project.
I first read the comments, and said what the heck, and watched the video, and I am very glad I did. In fact, there is more where this one came from, and I happen to be fond of the old 'rust bucket' and learn a bit more. Thanks for the video @DogBunny.

Thank you everyone! It was a lot of work.
I tried hard to move the video and narration along. I despise "instructional" videos that are filled with editorializing and fluff. Have you ever watched a video where the creator spends 5 minutes removing the 10 bolts that hold a cover on? Drives me crazy.
