The GM front calipers and a 1" bore MC from either a corvette or Mustang would work fine. Some of the GM front calipers had bore diameters as...
*UPDATE* I got the bright idea to call Wilwood yesterday and ask them what they recommend in MC bore size with one of the disc brake kits I'm...
Actually, that's where my quest started. That article is all about matching the pedal ratio to the MC/BC ratio to create a manual brake setup...
This is cool stuff. Thanks for the info.
This is the info I was looking for and this is what I suspected. However the larger MC/BC bore ratio also requires a high volume MC to handle the...
Here in the mountains of VA disc brakes are a nice addition to any classic cruiser. Especially if you want to be cruising at the same speed at...

The wife and I have been used car shopping (that didn't last long after we saw the used car prices!) and working on a project in the house, so I...
Man, just absolutely gorgeous!
He was also willing to leave the tie rod against the oil pan, so either his mechanical skills or work ethic, or both are genuinely lacking. It...
I did a test fit for the steering arm spacers (that's why the nuts are on the inside of the brake housing). The steering arm now has about 3/16"...
My dad and I were walking around the rod run in Pigeon Forge TN. My dad really isn’t much of a car guy so this was his first car show. We hadn’t...

I found these. Not a bad price and the chrome will add a little shine to a black under carriage:...

I do this with the family Amazon account only I leave my items in the cart. When my wife or one of my daughters buys a phone case or set of fake...
Thanks for the links to spacers, I've got a set on order that should be here late this week or early next week. These are the spacers that are...
Perch pins? After a little time in the shop this evening I figured out that I need 1/4" long x 0.50 ID x 1.00 OD spacers to get 1/16" clearance...
!UPDATE! I did some inspecting and measuring on the truck this past weekend. Here's what I found: To check to see if the steering arms were...
The brakes are reproduction 1939 Lincoln drum brakes. I'm not sure what you mean by the nylocks, can you describe to me what you're referring to...
There's your answer right there.
Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense now.
I admit, when you typed your first message I had to google ackerman. The pics on Wikipedia didn't make sense but your drawing above does. This...

The motor mounts look wore out to me, so I had already ordered another set. They're sitting on the bench ready to be installed. Yes, that's a...
First, thank you to everyone for taking the time to look at the photos and letting me know what you saw. This is my first solid front axle...
