Re: IML: Another 1961 Question on the Fly(wheel)

Thanks Paul.

 

Yeah, and the guy that runs the shop is an old car guy (and drives a s-w-e-e-t 50's FO$D with the retractable roof that he showed me), so I was really surprised they hosed the parking brake.  Of course, that style of parking brake is rather unique, but still....It took me a lot of time to put it all back together, but, on the other hand, getting up under there and putting it all back together was a great learning experience!
