Still ready!

Still on board for this. 👍🏼

Right on all counts. This morning I went with the #3 option I mentioned above (access through the drain hole). By inserting the bolt through the side hole/port and holding it lightly against the surface of the support, and then using a coat hanger wire to rotate the support upwards, when the...

Okay, I’m answering my own question. Maybe this will help someone else who encounters this mistake. There seem to be 3 options to deal with having let the reverse idler support slip. #1 Tear down the unit enough to access the support and then reposition. Or, have a shop do it. #2 Use two thin...

Halfway up the drivers side of the NV3550 is a bolt. By mistake that bolt was removed. From diagrams, it seems that that bolt secures a support for a bearing. When the bolt was removed, the support slipped (probably down) and threaded hole in the support is no longer aligned with the casing...

Thanks!

Okay, I think I figured out an appropriate bracket. Question: On GM rear conversion calipers with the integrated parking brake, if tha parking brake is not used, will the hydraulic piston self adjust? There are comments suggesting that if the parking brake on the caliper is not routinely...

How does one graduate?

Wilwood makes a separate ebrake caliper but they do not have a bracket on which to mount it. My rear discs do not have a backing plate…..and I suspect that is the case for most of the GM RDB conversions. Nor is there an apparent way to adequately mount the ebrake claipers without a strong...

I have a floor lever that I installed. Improved the situation marginally. The problem is that the pistons just don’t behave the same way with cable initiation as with the hydraulics. BTW, I used a floor ebrake from a Viper.

They look to be in good condition. Any issues?

I replaced the cancelling switch /horn contact pin assembly (due to worn out floating horn contacts), and was getting erratic turn signal behavior. The indicators particularly on one side would often not switch off, and sometimeswould switch on when I just swerved the steering wheel. There...

All the commonly found rear disk brake conversions seem to rely on the GM style of cable actuated parking brake. That is, the hand brake cables connect to the rear calipers, and through levers and springs, when the parking/ebrake is employed, the caliper piston extends and grips the rotor. I...

Thanks, Steve. I’m going to do some ire switching. :)

Good points. I will pursue those. Thank you. The front have steel wound hoses. Rubber in the back. The tires are a few years old and in good shape.
