Thanks Dave, I found rebuilt Kelsey Hayes calipers for 210 each on calipersonline. Lifetime guarantee. I also found the rotors for about 100 each. By the time...
I am the only one left in the world that is more than satisfied with four wheel drum brakes? Conversions aren;t worth the headache. Don;t drive like a maroon...
Chas, I bought a 69 Barracuda that had a complete set on it for $500. It is much cheaper to find a clapped out old A-Body and pull all the brakes off of it....
$210/EACH for rebuilt calipers? They're smoking some pretty good dope. Rebuild kits are cheap and so are pistons. The cores have to be really bad to not be...
I have emailed Gary (garylorann) a couple times and I sent him a check for some parts a few weeks back. My check hasn't cleared and I haven't heard a word from...
I am with Wile1 and am going back with the factory drums on all four corners with the small bolt pattern. The new drums were an easy find. ... and ... bars...
Yeah I don't understand why the first thing everybody wants to do is upgrade the Dart's brake system to something else, or change its bolt pattern. I have 2...
hey , are you back from canada yet? let me know a total for the 15 l/h thread lug nuts i asked for and how you want me to pay. i will get it done asap. thanks...

Yeah... got back this last weekend. Gotta alotta catchin up to do but I will try to get that sent to you before the end of the week. $30 plus shipping will...
OK THen given that. What can I do to iprove the braking Just rebuild all four drums?? It just feels like I'm driving a trcuk when I'm in there. Maybe its...
Chas: I too drive a Chrysler 300 for my everyday car. And of course when comparing the 300's braking power to the 37 yr old GTS's manual drum brakes system,...
I'm sure you're right. I have only driven the car three times since buying it in September and not for very long, as I have it stored for the winter in a...
Hey folks. I'm located in Westchester County NY ( about 16 miles north of Manhattan) Back in the late 60's early 70's, I could go to any of 6 or so speedshops...
Anyone interested in a new Year One 1969 WHITE GTS butt stripe??? The buyer of my car is sticking with the stripe delete. Still in the original year one box....
A buddy of mine has a shop in Alpine, NY (I have no idea where that is or if it is near you) and he could do all that work for you. His nams is Phill Grover...
I know that nobody has talked with Ed for awhile, and I also know that he sent his car up to Michigan, but I hope the green GTS convertible on eBay is not his!...
It came up on Moparts a while back, but I never posed the question and nobody there has answered it. There are three 68 a-body convertibles, my GTS and two...
I was wondering the same thing. It sure sounds like a dead ringer for Ed's GTS. And your right, it was sent up to Michigan at one time I do believe. Don... ...
It is my understanding that the Dart and Barracuda would have been built on seprate assembly lines, so that comes into play. Also, the SPD is just that,...
Yes, that is Ed's old GTS. Right down to the added on hood pins. His buddy lives up here in the Macomb county area. Last time I talked with Ed, he was just...
Thanks for your concern guys!! There is LOT more to this story than I can talk about. There was a lot going on in Ed's life at the time that he sent his GTS...
