Yeah...my brass fittings accidentally got stuck to a magnet. I guess it's my own fault. The shop had sets of fittings in little baggies. They had gold and steel gray. I didn't specifically ask if the "goldtone" was brass. Next time I'm bringing a magnet.

I'm still trudging along on my drum to disc conversion on my 72 Valiant. Switching the 9" drums to 4 piston KH disc. I was about to order a master cylinder and I realized I don't know if the drum master cylinder pushrod is the same. Does anyone know? Manual brakes if that makes a difference.

I want to improve the brakes on my 72 Valiant. No racing, simply for safety. Also, I want to stay with SBP 14" cheapie steel wheels. I am mulling over 10" drums or a Scarebird conversion. Any word of wisdom? Any other suggestions?

I was looking at replacement front drums and the descriptions often read "drum only - no hub"...Uhm, I kinda always thought the front drum/hub was a single unit. So I guess I need to know how to take the hub uota the drum. Any help?:-k

OK...I've got 9" SBP manual drums all around, and it kinda sucks. Is there an easy way to upgrade the fronts without changing control arms, spindles, bolt pattern size? Are there 10" SBP drums? What would I need to do to swap to those?

Is there an easy way to change 5x4 front discs to 5x4 1/2"? what needs to be changed? spindles? control arms? everything? nothing?
