Not sure if this will help ,there should be an O ring between carb and breather I use the Viceroy rubber fruit jar rings fit perfectly.
maybe they will keep any rust out.
Well my 48 original mirror was rectangular it had a red reflector on the back of it. couldn't find any similar.
I now have two chrome clip on mirrors ,it took a while to get the mirrors adjusted properly but I am happy with them.
Thanks Andy I will Try all those things and let you know. well I did as you instructed when i took the pressure of with the jack lifting the lower control arm I did get grease in it was coming out around the cup on both sides .And yes they are loads of fun ,thanks to the people of this forum I am able to do some of the work myself
Thanks again
I also have an issue with the passenger side upper control arm bushing .My problem is that I have a hard time getting grease to go in I changed fittings same problem. Someone told me to take the fitting out and put in transmission fluid to try and clean out the old grease let it sit and then blow it out with compressed air then repeat until the grease goes in .
Will this work?
Well I thought I would give an update on the brake issue . It is its still doing the same thing grabbing until I apply the brakes a few times and then its fine .
I disassembled everything and checked again for leaks and sure enough found brake fluid on the pipe between the two wheel cylinders tightened the threads cleaned everything with brake cleaner and put it all back together .
I will test drive the vehicle and make sure that it is no longer leaking but I imagine I will be looking at new front shoes.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me .
Hi Sam
I was under the dash trying to locate the dash light bulb as mine is also dim .Be damed if I could locate it .
I am sure its accessible without too much trouble any help would be appreciated .
My car is a D 25 same dash as aP15.
Just a little update So I made Sams tool and checked the shoes and according to the tool my shoes are fine .Marked the shoes with a sharpie as Don suggested and went for a spin applying the brakes on numerous occasions and the sharpie marks are all gone .Also no pulling at any time .
It will have to remain a mystery.
This is the cupping I was referring to .Already sanded shoes and drum noticed uneven wear pattern so will try adjusting again
Sam my shoes also came from Bernbaums I am impressed with your home made adjuster.I am going to print your picture and attempt to make one
Thanks to everyone I will remove drum and try to find the problem.
Well no obvious leaks ,the shoes are cupping don't know why .Will sand both the drum and shoes and reassemble .
Hi I am looking for any help with a brake problem that has come up .Last weekend I was going to town and was surprised when applying the brakes the drivers side front brake was grabbing , after a couple of hard brake applications it seemed to sort itself out .
Next day I tried it again same problem .
The car has now sat for a few days tried again same problem and same solution applied the brake a few times and once again problem solved .
Not sure what the problem is brakes master cylinder and wheel cylinders are all 3 years old.
Put the car on jack stands and did the minor adjustment it didn't help.Checked for any signs of brake fluid leaks found none .
Thinking I may be looking at a new wheel cylinder.
So I finally resolved the wiring issue with my signal stat 900 .
I contacted the company and they were aware of the problem with 6 volt positive ground vehicle .
I was told to take the pilot wire off the flasher and connect it to two 2 one amp . diodes 900 - 905 Instruction Sheet.pdf
I have attempted to upload what they sent me .
Thanks to everyone for your help
Thanks again
My car id a D25 delux model It does not have dedicated lamps in the dash .
It does not flash when indicating I thought it would
maybe I have one more problem to solve .
My concern was draining the battery maybe that tiny bulb wouldn't hurt it
I doubt its suppose to stay on
Plymouthy
Thank you , I went with the multimeter and found no power to X
Checked my power source and found a wire off under the tape .
everything works three brake lights , signal lights .
only problem is the pilot light stays on and the little green indicators don't light up
Is it normal for the light to stay on
