Keep up the great work. You have become my inspiration to keep my projects moving forward. All the laughs keep my spirits up. BTW you really need an air compressor to get that blasting cabinet up and running. THANKS!!! |

Re: A '54 named Busty
In this age of R&R (Remove and Replace) where Mechanics have been replaced by "Technicians" who in their right mind rebuilds things any more?
I remember salvaging starters and alternators with $3 dollar brushes and giving them another lease on life these day's they don't even ask for your old parts back anymore to use them as cores Last edited by Gregski; 08-28-2020 at 10:04 PM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
so we are really just doing a thorough inspection and some deep cleaning not necessarily a rebuild, though all that it would take is a new square o ring and a new rubber dust shield
in our case the piston looks great nice and smooth no grooves or scars Last edited by Gregski; 08-28-2020 at 10:51 PM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
Rotors are good. Calipers too.

Re: A '54 named Busty
I hope someone can help me out, I am super confused in trying to pick a power brake solution for my truck, every company I look at seems to offer something that looks different
let's tart with this $300 kit from Performance Online which is pretty much the same as Western Chassis (it comes with a proportioning valve, but no pedal) FYI I am running disc in the front and drum in the rear |
