Really more making them serviceable, This is from the 68, they simply wouldn't budge, I tried everything and the only trick that worked was drilling a 3/16 at the base of the pivots and using oddly enough a graphite lock lubricant on it. Got them spinning nicely (the take away here is if you every have to free one of them up the hole is a way to get the rust out of the base)
here is what they looked like..nothing earth shattering I was just itching to do car stuff
Yeah that is a good finish, I also like the Dupli-color caliper paint. Sounds funny but it is 500 temp and sprays on real nice for drums and stuff and not too shiney about like the cast paint.
The Idaho Andy I love the smell of race fuel in the morning
