I bought a rebuilt single pot master cyl and some lines and fitting to pop some caliper pistons out of a KH caliper. I would rather not use brake fluid due to its paint eating characteristics (ask my sister how I unknown this) I have a bottle of Jack oil I'll never use so i figured it would...

I was in the wrecking yard and there was a drum drum master cyl and pushrod just sitting in a 67 Barracuda. Ok pushrods are good, I'll take it. So first I pulled and pulled and pulled, nothing, not going to happen. Next I tried putting a screwdriver through the pedal end in the receiver of a...

I needed a 10" drum brake dust cap. In the process I got an education... I had one OEM Classic industries repo MP500302 Dorman 618-101 Dorman 13976 (618-100) -that the books said fit 67 Dart Left to right OEM, Classic Ind Repo, 618-101, 13976 The OEM has seen its share of hammer blows...

I was looking for a bearing dust cover for my 10" drum brake Dart. I looked at Rock Auto and on Dorman's website and both sites say 618-100 (13976) is the correct cap. The specs show it is 1.6 OD Well when it got here from Rock Auto. You know it, it did not fit. Way too small. Maybe it fits...

Just had a thought... Mustang 1" disk drum master cylinders are plentiful. Has anyone tried swapping the guts from a mustang master into a Chrysler master? If they are both made by Bendix there is a pretty good chance the internal are the same?

I have a master cyl that was well sealed for 40 plus years. The inside of the reservoirs are not rusty but is kind of solid with dried brake fluid. Right now I'm just trying to get the crusty solid gunk out. Chemical thoughts

So after my 8 3/4 swap I reused the brake hardware from my 7 1/4. Both use 10x 1.75 brakes. The backing plates are NOT the same without modification of the center hole and adding the 5th hole. All was looking good. I cleaned up all the parts, bought new shoes and cylinders. Lubed...

Hi all. Recently I picked up 2 backing plates and drums from a friend. Both came off he's car, he switched to BBP and rear disc. I have not asked him yet and I will. Have you seen the non tabbed type before. I have 3 identical and 1 oddball. I recall reading somewhere that there was a...

This is my latest reverse engineering project. The CAD is ready to go, I just need to work out if my materials will stand up to brake fluid Origional on the left. 3D printed on the right. Hard to see the details of the one on the right but they are all there!

Reading my latest (Feb 2022) Mopar Action (which has a significant brake article.) Referred to an aluminum master cyl that shaved about 4 lbs from the car BUT looks like a stock cast iron mc. Not much different price than a rebuilt cast iron one...

Ok OEM gurus... 67 Dart GT, 273 2bbl, original KH front disc. My Dart has brass adapters on the MC. I always thought they were add due to a replaced MC that was not correct. ( Have no evidence of this but my dad was know for adapting things some times) A local old timer said they were OEM...

So I found a leaking rear wheel cylinder, my master seeped some time in the last 7 years into the interior ( probably after setting for 4 years in the garage at my dad's house) but is good now. I have a fresh master and new rear wheel cylinders. I want to flush the system before reaching the 3...

Very interesting info.

The other day I noticed a clunk when applying the brakes while moving forward slowly. Front suspension is mostly OE (52 years old) Upper ball joints replaced less than 1 year ago., Tie rod ends replaced in last 10 years, idler arm replaced 1 year ago. (Front suspension needs a rebuild) Car...

I'm not a machinist or metallurgist but was wondering ... other than cost couldn't a brake drum be machined from billet steel / iron? Thoughts? Pros? Cons?

I have been told by an old timer that the brass adapters are OE for manual brake with front KH disk and rear 10 x 1 3/4 drum. I cant recall a time they weren't on the car, but after 51 years who knows. What is the consensuses here?

I was wondering if the stock 1967 Dart parking brake handle had the word "BRAKE" highlighted in white like the 68 and up? 1967 (might be 65 and 66 as well) 1968 and up
