    I am pulling a Roger... while I’m at it.

    A leaky front wheel cylinder is leading to a complete front end rebuild.

    I have a 1-1/8” sway bar and new brake adjuster kit on order. Will reuse my three year old rubber brake hose and bearings. I think that is everything...

    Shelby Drop and undercoat as long as I am down there and it’s naked. Sure is nice to work on such a clean and rust free car. All the bolts come off with little effort.

    Correction. I am going to put new bearings and races in. After inspection I see one of the cages that hold the bearings is a bit damaged. Probably not a big deal but bearings are easy to find and inexpensive.

    The leaking brake fluid took a toll on the old brake shoe paint. The springs and adjusting hardware is also in rough shape.

    No wonder it would pull hard to the side during braking.

    Way to go Jeff!
    That brake cylinder is pretty scary looking though. How are your metal brake lines?

    Hi Don, I replaced all the metal and rubber lines about three years ago when I converted to the new Dual Master Cylinder. They still look like new.
