    disk brake help please...

    My disk brakes are '73+. When I install the flexible brake hose from the caliper to the bracket on the frame, the hose has to be snaked around the shock. This is good as long as I am turning hard in one direction. If I turn in the other direction, the hose is tight against the shock. The...

    Power braking unit

    Hopefully, I will be installing this unit this week. I was reading the manual over last nigh and I notice that it requires an extra plate against the firewall. Do I need this or can I just make it out of a piece of flat steel ? Thanks Ian.

    More brake questions..

    For '75 Duster. I see in my service book that there is a bracket at the rear of the car that allows the transition between a rubber hose and solid brake line. Is that available to buy or do I need to source it used and does it have a name ? Is there a better exploded view of the front disc...

    Missing parts for rear drum brakes

    I went into UAP the other day with an exploded diagram and asked to buy everything in the picture. I thought they had ordered everything. The package is missing (as far as I know at the moment) a couple of pieces and I wonder if I can buy them new or do I need to scrounge locally. The first...
