Buick specs needed.

As most of you are aware I now own a 63 Buick Lesabre.
I am getting it inspected. The inspector ask me if I could
get specs for the drums and ball joints. Does anyone know
of a source to get this info? Any help would be helpful.

 

sorry,can't help ya.bttt

 

Per my '62 Invicta/LeSabre book, the drums should have a max inside diameter of 12.080". Don't see anything for ball joints.

Tell him to p*** it unless he can prove it's outta spec.

 

You live in Maryland hot rod tag that SOB. Where did you take it ? because Fishers might be able to help you. and are you going to show me a picture of this thing.

 

(46 mopar) here ya go.

 

(62Buford) Thanks for the info.

 

I think you should put the BMW in the trunk and haul it to the junk that thing rocks.

 

Thanks! Do you think anybody from WAP can help me find
wheel cylinders for this bad boy? Do you know of anyone that might have drum specs?

 

I think the early 45 fin (wide spacing) drums, as used 58-65 can go to 12.100 oversize. The later 90 fin (narrow spacing) drums are less allowable oversize at 12.080

I don;t understand what you mean by ball joint specs.

Go to a different inspecter.
The ball joints are either worn or not. Any good Wrench can tell.
The drum specs are cast into the drum. At least I've never found a later model car that they weren't.
Thank Ralf Nader for that one.

 

The inspector is cool! The state of Md inspection sheet ask for specs on balljiont. (How much play) He said they look good but he
can't fudge the numbers. I got the numbers on the drums today and found the wheel cylinders. I see books for sale on specs (shop book) but I am pressed for time. Temp tag!
