Re: OT Brake booster disassemble

I guess I could use wd then clean it up. I know it won't take paint or hurt the rubber. I'm out of denatured alcohol or I'd pour some of that in the rim and turn it.

OT Brake booster disassemble

Hey gang, working on my 70 240Z. It has a Bendix licensed booster that has gone south. I can't believe it but I found a repair kit. This booster actually goes together with a bayonet style fastening, sort of like a sending unit in a gas tank. I've made a tool to turn it and it moved some . I'd like ...

Re: Parking brake

Keep it, use it. It also keeps brakes adjusted. I use it on all my stuff; new and old. Why not?

I had one on the shelf in my carport in 09. Steel was high and some SOB stole it.

Re: These could be yours ...

I see a fair amount of Tbolts still being raced, maybe their cloned. Rarely do you see a 63 1/2 Galaxie lightweight or the 66 Fairlane lightweights go down the track. There is a 66 owned by a buddy here in town. It was always raced. Of course all he does is look at it. I know what he paid for it and...

Re: These could be yours ...

Are these estimated values? The lightweight seems low and the T-bolt high to me.

Body code 63H is a hardtop GT. I have no idea why that other website is so wrong.

Re: Introduction

Re: Alignment settings

I'm at .25- camber on both sides now. I can tell you it steers easier that the 1.25- and 1.5- camber did. I set up my caster on the right at 3.5* and left at 2.5*. The 3.5 left my tire close to the front of the fender. I had a little pull to the right so I backed off the drivers side until it went s...

Re: Upper Control Arm Shims
