Is the front disc? brakes setup compatible (spindles, rotors, booster) with standard c-bodies for the drum to discs upgrade? I have not seen Imperials listed as a possible donor for this upgrade, so I guess it's not compatible, or there are some other parts (rotors) difficult to find which makes...

I noticed the car in the promo photo has a rear reflective plastic on the rear side. Interesting, mine, or any other car on pictures in this thread, does not have it while the front one is common.

In fact, its missing the mounting holes for the trunk trim. It looks like it was intentionally deleted while making the new paint?

I was adjusting the front brakes recently (11x3 drums) and noticed there is a spacer ring with the holes for the studs fitting the bolt pattern, which is good 1/8 inch thick. Perhaps it's leftover when the car used finned drums many years ago, which do not fit well with my Magnum 500 rims. I...

I´m considering buying a new hardware kit (springs,etc) for the front drum brake 11x3 but all I can find on Rockauto is a front set for the 11x2,75 DORMAN HW7132 kit. Does it makes any difference for the width of the shoes being larger 11x3 or shall I stick with the kit following the springs...

This is a super lite dash bezel from the 69 convertible. Not the best picture, but it might help.

Getting around to posting some updates for the new cylinder replacement I did in the summer. The parts from www.hydroe.com were superb copies of the old cylinders, with no fitment issues. I took everything outside the car (pump, lines, cylinders) and did replace them on the ground to avoid...

With the winter coming I took a chance a few weeks back and made a final run before storage. Gave Polara a wash, put in fresh 93 US octane gas (7 USD/gallon), and removed a battery. It's like 7-8 years since my last visit to the states, so just wondering if there show up a new technology in...

Hi, apologize for the late response. It's a way more complicated process requiring a physical presence of the car passing the technical inspection and the car must be in very good condition in order to acquire historical plates/documents. You must be also a member of the historical club. It...

This is how I have the Super-lite grounding on my car. Hope it helps :-)

Thanks for tip, will try to replace them all at once.

Short evening cruising. The top goes down, but not up - needs to get around to replace hydraulic cylinders I have ready since autumn..

This reminds me something :-) Good luck with her, it's worth cruising down the road when done :thumbsup:

It's pity you got a lemon. I seem to have no issues so far, it took just 35grams per wheel to perfectly balance it. Just one rear wheel, took way more, like 100grams. But being in the back, it's no big issue. I had a similar weight around 100 grams back on the wheels with BFgs, too. I have...

Thanks for the confirmation, will address it.

I finally replaced BFgs with a new Cooper Cobras. The weather was close to freezing, so it was just a quick ride to the shop and back. Will remove the blue colour from the letters once warm up. One detail I want to point out is the tire pattern being different. Cooper Cobras pattern is like a...

I will continue with this thread since it's on topic. I have power drum brakes all around on 69 Polara and checked the shoes in front drums today while changing the tires before the new season starts. While the brakes perform equally and the car does not pull to either side, they are not exactly...

Wow, nice score, congratulation on your new ride. Do you know some history, i.e. how long it's in Europe?

ECI brake kit does not work with Magnum 500, even in 15inch size. More details 67 Newport Custom suspension upgrades

I have recently contacted ECI brakes for obtaining details and asked them specifically about 15 inch Magnum 500 Wheel Vintiques wheels fitment I´m using. Below is their response, their kit does not fit even for 15 inch Magnum 500 wheels, so beware. Okay, to answer your first question, even the...
