Bruce, I just found a bolt. The shoulder seems to be shorter. My battery has gone on my electronic side but manually, the bolt is: 10 units = 1 inch 1 and 7/10s long shoulder is 4/10s long thread section about 1 inch long Shoulder 6/10 wide threads 4/10 wide.. Do I have the right bolt ? ian.

maybe someone can measure the hle..got to get the car out of the garage..and I think I may have one but it doesn't quite look like that one..the shoulder is shorter...

Would you believe we have lost our brake pedal bolt. This should be the item: Could someone give me the dimensions of the larger section and the smaller section ? I can have one made here. I need this for safety inspection.. Thanks Ian.

...adapters..

Nidhogg, I responded. If you have any questions , please don't hesitate to ask. When I bought the Duster for the kids, my experience was with British cars only..i new nothing (some will say I still don't) about these cars. FABO *Really* helped.. Ian.

I have a set for sale..still waiting to rec've pmt...

You can buy the parts at your local NAPA...

If you are interested, I have a set of emergency brake levers ( parking brake levers ) struts and anti rattle springs for the 10 by 2.5 inch rear drums. ian.

Ok, so here is the hose and the measurements... Do folks with identical set ups have a different hose ? Another issue I didn't think would be a problem.. Thanks Ian.

I should take pics. 69383, I thought a direct route would be best but even my manual shows this..it comes off the caliper ..then you have to circle the shock...then the hose connects to the bottom of the bracket.. is an aspen hose longer ? Thanx Ian.

My disk brakes are '73+. When I install the flexible brake hose from the caliper to the bracket on the frame, the hose has to be snaked around the shock. This is good as long as I am turning hard in one direction. If I turn in the other direction, the hose is tight against the shock. The...

Thanks !!

zkx, Found my intermediate cable...it is 103.5. I can reuse the cable but the attaching hardware is rusted beyond use. Pics are great. What is the j hook attached to ? Thanks ian. So the 2 ends of the intermediate attach to the end of the first cable, correct ?

Here is one of my problems. I just gor home from NAPA and intermediate cable has three different lengths. 109,110 or 116. No listing for a 103.5 on a 75 duster. Why would there be 3 and why longer ? Ian.

Jim...you mention pictures ? Thanks ian.

66dart, Those are perfect. It wasn't haw the po had them :) I would rather do them up right. I am assuming they go above the exhaust and below the driveshaft ? Thanks ian.

Green1. This may be a stupid question, but how ? If I remember correctly, my middle cable was a loop and the rear cables just hooked into it...I am now thinking this may have been a bastard... So, how do I go about this ? Thanks Ian.

I haven't been able to find them in canada so a bud recommended his fav company but their listings only go to '74 and they have no idea if their stuff will fit a '75. Will it ? Thanks Ian.

For the last couple of years I have tried to understand what type of cables I need for my parking brake system. I know there are three basic sections. The front, the middle and rear that connects to the drums. The cables are sold in various lengths and I have measured mine and not found a...

Darn, it is muggy..and the rain isn't clearing the air. You are correct. Thank-you. Ian.

Good call. My manual does cover all bodies so you are probably correct. I do have the extra brackets so the plate really puzzled me. One less think to worry about this week. Thank-you. ian.

Hopefully, I will be installing this unit this week. I was reading the manual over last nigh and I notice that it requires an extra plate against the firewall. Do I need this or can I just make it out of a piece of flat steel ? Thanks Ian.

Perhaps another ding-dong moment. I haven't pumped grease into it yet and it has two nipples... ian.

It is a moog. On the floor I don't have much traction..on the car I will see if I can move it. ian.

That sounds ominous. Would that mean my K frame "ears" are getting weak ? The K frame is not mounted in the car as of yet. Soon. I think that will be the test. It will be something on my list to watch out for. Thank-you all for your help. Ian.

Abodyjoe, Damn, I missed that. Went back to my manual and went back through the chapter page by page until I found the illustrations. I need to read more before I ask... I am missing dust retainer shield in the kit...is the necessary ? 72Blu...the idler arm isn't flexing when torqued to 70...

72Blunble, Cool :) I would never have guessed. It would help if this stuff from NAPA came with instructions. Is it OK the have a snug fit between the pads and rotor ? I haven't added the brake lines to the calipers yet so there may be a bit of fluid stopping the piston from going in any...

No one ?

Ronnie, Not sure what you mean. They are '73 and up...one big piston. It was an easy install...just a but tighter than I would like. And the NAPA brake kit just doesn't want to fit however, it could be me. ian.

I was installing my calipers today and something doesn’t look right… see pics below: Brake kit Even with the piston pushed all the way back…with the pads, it is a tight fit. Could I have the "c" clamps on the wrong side ? That retaining clip on the top really doesn’t fit right...
