Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
the caps tend to corrode faster than the wheels themselves too

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
you have diskbrakes in the rear?
i been looking intoo using a drumbrake setup from mercedes for the handbrakes i think there where some impalas and ford explorers that had the same setup from the factory audi and volvo and the caddillac eldorado have calipers with build in handbrakesetups i seen some aftermarket brakecallipes too think they where from bear brakes they had two little arms machined intoo the caliper sticking out the top in between the 4 pistons and they would mecanicly move the brakepads by squeesing the arms together

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Looking nice Mike.
How much of a radius did you put onto the end of the tube? Kind of worried the wires can chafe on the edge where it enters & exits the pass thru tube. What you have is nowhere near as bad as a single layer of sheet metal but better safe than sorry.

I was thinking a bit of silicone RTV sealant at the ends could work too and it would keep water out as well.
