    I'm a classic guy (66), and am considering throwing a pile of money at front and rear 12.19" Wilwoods all around (likely 6 piston up front and 4 piston in back). I have Granadas up front and drums in back, which work better than all-drums that were on it 15 years ago, but driving anything...

I put all the new shoes on and pressed the brakes with the drum off and only one shoe seems to move, is this how is suppose to be?

    My 66 is all set to go on the wiring except the brakes. I bought a new brake light switch but that doesn't seem to be working.

    I needed to bend a 15" long piece of 1/8" aluminum, and from past experience I know a big hammer and a couple 2x4s is not the way to get it done. I also know the manual lever-type benders you can build pretty easily are only good for sheet material, no way to bend 1/8" aluminum with one. So I...

    I found an extra part inside my master cylinder... it's a wafer-thin washer between the piston and the spring cup. My rebuild kit didn't come with a replacement and it's not mentioned in the shop manual. What is it and should I reuse it? Any help, thanks.
