A lot of excellent info there guys, Thank you. I've never had a problem with either, though I've heard those 3rd-hand stories about both (my neighbor's brother's friend had one of the bonded shoes come apart, a friend knows this guy who's brother is a mechanic...). I always wondered about rivets...

Getting ready to rebuild the brakes on my '66 Imperial. While looking for new shoes I came across so re-lined shoes, some with rivets, some that were bonded. Just curious to know if there's a preference or any known failure issues with one of the other. Pretty sure I've used both types over the...

Indeed - this is why I ask here. Far smarter people than me, as well as first hand experience. Last thing I want to attempt is reinventing the wheel. Just curious: which side are the ports on? Aftermarket cruise probably doesn't have the space constraints as the original. With the factory Auto...

That's good to know! Yes, safety is my primary concern here as my wife and daughter will not only be riding with me, I hope my wife will feel comfortable enough to take the car out if she wants to. Knowing that the brakes have been completely rebuilt and are safe is a big step in that direction...

Thank you, Ross. That answers another question I had about the availability of something with ports on the opposite side. I did find one dual reservoir Bendix for drum brakes, but it has ports on the same outboard side. I've never seen 90 degree adapters used on a master cylinder, but I'm not...

Getting the parts together to upgrade the brakes on my '66 Imp and thought this would be a good time to swap out the master cylinder. However, since the car has the Auto Pilot cruise control unit nearby, it looks tight, at best. I don't have the dimensions of a dual reservoir handy to check...

At least this guy got the jack outta the way....

I bet a lot of us can think back to things we did when we were young and invincible (stupid) and thank our lucky stars we're still here. I like to think I was a pretty bright kid, but can't even begin to count - at least, the ones I can remember. But there are definitely some folks out there who...

Wowsers....fun with bumper jacks. Never trusted them, had cars roll forward and go sideways on a couple occasions. Once when I was 14-15 we were visiting family friends. Dad noticed a flat on the back of our '70 Satellite sitting in the driveway, picked up a nail or whatever. Being all about...
