I forgot the photos…
Replaced my th200 with a th200r4. The th200 is a 3 speed similar to the th350. Took off my Chevy 350. Works-ish, Just being honest. It shifts...
@RICH B and @alchemy im having a hard time conceptualizing the problem. So when the brake is in a neutral non engaged position the large cap sits...
I will have to check the orientation. I want to say they are the same length lining but I could have swapped and don e 2 longs on one wheel and...
I will try bleeding the brake again soon. Painted some fenders on my 1950 f1 this weekend so didn’t have time. I have the brakes adjusted (both...
That is super ingenious. I’ll have to look into engineering something like that. OK, so bleed the brakes last night and took it for a spin after...
Ok I got it on. Did the same thing tonight as last night but was less tired so was able to get it. bleed brakes again and no leaks from new...
Yes on shoes. I just thought of it but I may open up the bleed screw or disconnect the brake line as I’m probably fighting some pressure from the...
I’ll take a photo tonight of the springs. I have one of those tool and had to use a few times ago to get spring on. It did mangle the shoe...
Yes I don’t have strength to pull spring into place, tried vice grips but no luck. I’ll keep trying though but my strength at 38 isn’t what it was...
Another update: I went to replace my wheel cylinders and yes driver side was still leaking and couldn’t see till opened up. So got new wheel...
Update: I honed the driver side wheel cylinder and replaced the caps and plungers. went to take do a test of stopping power and of course...
Cool yes I put a new cap on the 1 inch side but the rebuild kit I got don’t have the larger 1 1/4 cap. The spring in the rebuild kit appears more...
Follow up question… I see the speedway ones I got are 1 1/4x1 but I’ve seen a few 1 3/8x1. I have a 1 inch master cylinder. Would changing to 1...
Ok, honed the cylinder some, seems nice and clean no pitting, put in new spring and plungers. Bleed brakes and strangle when I press the brake...
The plot thickens… Was going to take it for a spin and noticed front driver side had about a tablespoon of brake fluid on rim / ground… plot...
Long update from this weekend: 1) I bleed the breaks and didn’t notice any air bubbles at the bleeder screw hoses but strange thing: I started...
I may try bending with heat. I am horrible at welding :( I also saw someone selling this:...
Not home but I was able to find a shot of the angle in a photo I took. does appear to be more or less straight down but I’ll confirm tomorrow...
Sorry long week at work. I go some homework to do tomorrow. I agree, I don’t think I have the arm strength or leverage to push the push rod in by...
Hard to get good photos but hopefully below helps. so I jacked up the front and did the large adjustment screws on the bottom and got the wheels...
I’ll take some photos after work and report back. plus I’ll disconnect pedal and master cylinder and push the rod by hand to see how far it goes....
@3blapcam yes I agree on checking system again. I was going to check and bleed the system again tonight or tomorrow. I was having some issues...
I had no idea what a Dago axle was but I just googled it and came up with these sites: https://kustomrama.com/wiki/The_Dago_Axle...
Ok finally got home and took some photos (attached). from this website:...
I’ll send some photos this Sunday of the setup. Out of town till then. yeah I emailed boling brothers to see what all I may need/get. I may get...
I’ve done some research and agree I’ll probably start with trying to get a 6:1 or 7:1 pedal ratio then work from there. I emailed earlyv8garage...
@winduptoy i did see something like that on here too. I’ll look into that. Maybe easier. @alchemy yeah ill have to look around the intake more...
Yes below is a how he had it in the 80s. I was born in late 80s and how it is now is all i remember so he probably swapped it over sometime in the...
@krylon32 thank you for the offer. I bought my rears from you and have been very happy with them. I’ll for sure message you when I make the...
