In the US, almost anything from RA is at my house within a few days. Big things likevgas tanks too.
The '67 is a dual system, an upgrade from a single master.
All drum brakes, make sure the adjustment is good. I'll make them a few clicks tight, then bleed, readjust. The bad booster acid test, turn the...
I used some sampled from work T&B buss bars on my car. They come with jumpers. One is gauge power, the other is gauge lights.

Partnered ownership = fishy to me.
