    Rubbing sound?

    Recently did a front end rebuild and a disc brake conversion to the single piston floating style calipers/rotors. Used a pair of remanufactured calipers, and the rotors are returned with plenty of meat on them. Bled them a few months ago, but never drove it. The other day took it on a road test...

    parking brake retaining clips?

    Looking for those flat U-shaped clips that hold the parking brake cable housing in place on the chassis. The slot is about 3/8" wide. Anyone got a part no. or an online source for these? The only thing i was able to turn up was on Amazon pricing them at $5 apiece. I have a hard time believing...

    Wheel bearing on rotors?

    Any idea how to get this out? It looks like a bearing, a rubber seal around it, and some other kind of ring around that. And even if I get it out, does that mean I have to get new bearings pressed into the rotor?

    Parking brake release cable?

    Does anyone here have a source for either new or NOS parking brake release cables for a 1965 Valiant? Ordered the middle and rear cables from Rock Auto already, but for whatever reason, don't have the one that goes from the brake handle to the outside of the car. I'm not turning up much luck on...
