Quote from Mimilan: This has been going since 3rd Dec 2018 and still not sorted. Pony up some $$$ and sell your old kit to recover some money...
And my apologies to everyone else, I will not ramble on like this ever again Sorry! Jim Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I don't come here to get into pissing contests or any of that, long done with that, total waste of time. Was ok when I was a child. Replying to...

One other thing with this car, going back to the camber change; I had a '64 Impala that had a sudden camber change like this, but I was in a hurry...
"What's that" is a great question! Almost looks like some kind of metal tab stuck between the rotor and pad(??) Would like to know what that is...
"Yeah, maybe to some of those swap side to side and put hose on top and bleeder on the bottom calipers you suggested earlier." 31vicky, as I...
But in the end I believe the fix here is a change out of calipers to correct this one Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Yeah, I know, just thinking with the way the pedal is "normal" (I guess as best as it gets) with clamping the lines off, that light residuals...
I definitely agree with replace the calipers, I believe they are the problem and don't see where they will ever work properly. The residuals will...
Possibly, the "cheap & quick" fix keeping this caliper setup would be a couple of 2lb residuals (1 @each caliper) as close to the caliper as you...
The top pin (inside right) is also the bushing for the caliper to slide on, looks like it is screwed on to the threaded bolt(?), not sure what...
Caliper bolts/ pins for one thing. In pic #6 you can see where the problem car caliper bolt is threaded on the inside and outside of the caliper...
That looks right :) Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The comments about temp gauge are a great idea. I use a "spal" electric fan on 1 of my vehicles, my race truck uses another brand of electric fan,...
"keeps that pad dragging, same issue as if the bushings/pins were missing, wrong bolts installed, etc." Meant to say same as if bushings were...
When you squeeze off a line and get a very solid pedal that's normally a sign of air. It just seems like there's something whacked with these...
I don't know....... Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I would also agree with something bring screwed up with the assy, but at this point I would swap out that entire caliper/ mount setup for a decent...
My bad, thought it had 2 bleeders at each caliper Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not sure from the pics, but if the brake feed lines to the calipers are on the bottom, swap the calipers side to side so the brake lines are on...
btw, I hope I didn't come off in a "bad" way with my reply above, certainly not intended, just passing along info that may help solve your problem...
^^^^^ I agree. Detailed pics could definitely help. On the camber, if the original spindles are on there then something was not put back together...
OMG!!!! That is one beautiful machine! Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Guess I'll throw my thoughts in the ring again. If you are running with a brake booster, I guess you did ck vacuum and got a normal reading...
There are so many builds going on you can never get bored, and always pickup some bit of info you hadn't known or a different way to approach an...
That's what keeps it so interesting! Thanks Dennis! Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks HRP & Dodge! Sent from my Moto Z (2) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Hey Flathead, I'm hoping!!! Might have to sell one or two of my "toys" first, but who knows, those '30's Fords with a flathead 8 have always been...
