Projects Building My First Roadster in San Francisco

Any idea what thread sizes each of those are?

 

The cable ends should be regular GM sizes and I think a ca3002? cable would work, unless the speedometer needs the male thread on that side of the cable. They are pretty cheap at the local parts stores. I'll check the part numbers when I get to work in a little while.

 

Check with Rusty @e1956v at Speedometer Service. He will handle the cable issue. Plus he is an Alliance Vendor. And regarding the wire, make sure it's all copper not aluminum clad copper. Don't ask me how I know.

Edit: make that copper clad aluminum not aluminum clad copper. Brain fart before the morning coffee.

 

I can definitely get you going on that cable, I'd be happy to be a part of your build Joey. Just need an overall length.
Thanks for the mention as always @51504bat

 

Shit hard to like that.

where did your existing cylinders come from? I’d be curious to see where they are leaking from once you pull the hub/drum and can see what’s happening

 

Dang man, good on you for pushing on, I imagine “mech brakes don’t leak” has run though your head lately!

 

Brand new washers don’t need annealing, only already crushed ones do so they soften back up after being work hardened. I am surprised that the brakes are giving you so much trouble, you have done everything meticulously. I wonder if when putting the return spring on that the shoe web is cutting into the dust boot or forcing the piston seal to get damaged some how. The spring is heavy but care must be taken when clipping it in place
