I missed the second question the first time. I’ve replaced rotors on my ‘72 dart with kelsey hayes and I definitely didn’t drill/cut the studs. It’s been almost a decade since I did it so I can’t quite remember placing them in a press, but I know for a fact they are a splined press fit for the...

I use styrofoam plates. They work pretty good and don’t fall apart.

In San diego, CA I got a complete push button trans from a running ‘64 Signet as part of a /6 purchase. It has the cables and linkage attached. I’m hoping to trade it for a /6 column/floor 904. Can take pictures if interested. Thanks, -Ted

FOUND Thanks!

I will take it if it’s still available please. PM coming your way.

The sad part is, the instructions mention and picture the boot. They could’ve offered to replace it, which is what I originally asked for. I bet the next one would’ve had the boot. If someone just took a minute to look at another box of the same part. But they just assume it’s a new design and...

Autozone, napa, carquest and o’reilly’s are all around me several times over. The only true local store I know of is about 18 miles away. Would you guys consider all these equal?

I do actually due the looking up part numbers and order stuff from the local shops. The thing is I am redoing the entire suspension/steering and it makes a big difference at that point. When I just need a carb kit, a gasket, a belt, etc, I just do local. I even get my bolts at a non-chain place...

That’s how I’m feeling now. It really sucks that quality in most areas has gone into the deep end. I’m dreading the day that I have to go to the junkyard just to find a cap and rotor that work.

I just ordered a set made by energy suspension. We’ll see how they fit, they don’t seem to be rigid at the base like the stock ones. As Tooljunkie suggested, I will reach out to moog just in case I don’t like the poly ones.

Same here, been using them since I got into the wrench game 12 years ago. Figured they’d have better customer service for loyal customers but it seems, like everything else, it’s automated even though a person is responding. Their responses didn’t seem personalized at all like anyone trying to...

I would love to, but the parts are getting harder to find, especially for the slant. Local availability is also sometimes twice as much (even though most of it is chinesium anyway). The only true local parts store I have near me is somewhat far and doesn’t usually have stuff that’s uncommon...

I am by no means good at it and living in CA you can’t do much legally, but I learned to pick a few padlocks and dead bolts with improvised tools. I used to use a Pilot pen metal clip as my tensioner and a bent bobby pin as my feeler (bent the very tip slightly) and it worked on old stuff...

So one of my favorite online “parts store” has let me down. They tend to ship a free little magnet with some car guy’s nice ride with your order, if you catch my drift. Anyway, I ordered ball joints for my scamp and one was missing the boot. I emailed them and the first response I received was a...

Halfafish, I was able to find a car ‘73 one. I appreciate your time, thanks.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a 1920 in good condition preferably, but let me know what you’ve got, I might still be interested. Just trying to keep my scamp running. Thanks! -Ted

DIY TRAILER RAMPS Totally random but I came up with this in a pinch yesterday after blowing my wife's rear end in The middle of Death Valley. I borrowed a trailer from a friend but he didn't have the ramps it came with. So after giving it some thought I came up with something. 4"x12"x8' lumber...

Shipping to 92104? Thanks

Still have em?

Thanks for the offer but I'm in Botswana right now and won't be home untill the 12th, too late for spring fling.

They only have these 10" which don't state the width CENTRIC Part # 12363044. I'm assuming they're probably the wider ones. What a headache.

Thanks doug, that's what I was starting to think. Gonna start looking for them since it'll be my cheapest option. Thanks again for your help guys.

Thanks guys. I'm leaning towards drums but have some questions. Are the backing plates the same for 10x2.5 and 10x1.75? Will they offset the wheel differently?

I do have the b body 10 in backing plates and wheel cylinders I think I have the 11" backing plates and not the 10" ones, I think that was my issue.

I was looking for drums but I couldn't find 8 3/4 sbp ones.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get the rear end done for my dart and I'm not sure what to do for brakes. I have a b body housing which I am going to have narrowed soon, and a set of sbp axles for it but no brakes. What brakes can I put on this thing? I wanted to go disc but that seems like a last...

Shipping quote to 92104 please. Thanks
