I got this hub cap, no one seems to know what it was off. any one here know ????thanks

recently I did the brakes on a '55 T Bird, that after repairing/replacing the complete system, the car still had too ,much brake to the rear. The rear would lock up and throw the car sideways. After consulting with a senior member here on the forum, plus a guy I met that builds pro street race cars, and also a retired automotive teacher, It was decided to increase the size/diameter of the main line going to the rear axle. The original line was 3/16, I replaced it with 1/4''. ( was a easy 'bolt' in fit... did not have to change any fittings ) The increase in diameter, plus added resistance of more interior surface, was enough to fix it problem. Afterward , the car braked evenly at all 4 wheeels ! I'm told that some of the car manufactors increased the size ( like I did ) on some cars built soon after this ('55 ). I just thought this would be of intrest to some readers........thabnk for your time .

yes, thanks, I'm doing that now.

yes I changed them while back, got the from the NAPA store, I think, maybe from Advance Auto

that;'s what I wqanted to know. Is it a common problem ? Have many of you installed proportioning valves ?

'55 T - Bird....a friend of mine

how do tou keep the rear brakes from locking up before the front, with a single circut brake system as used on these 50's cars ????

Hope it stays 'up there '! Fred ! Gets under 50 and I get cold now !! We had 70 today, 34 tonite, tommorrow and next few days will be lows of23 to 29 , with high's45 to 52....here = Texas 'hill Country' ( in the center of the state

I used to go to the one in Houlton Wisc , just across the river from Stillwater Minn. Sure brings back alot of memories , a few ''first times '' happpened there also ! I remember one time .........no, better not ..... After the movies quit , they had out door Church services there, all you had to do was tune your radio to a certain station , and listen to the services. The big screen was there for a long time after it closed, was a major landmark for giving directions....

was down to 34 this morning, now 38 with the ground covered in SNOW! . Dosen't sound cold , but , sure feels cold !

yeah ! I know, but, my favorite winter jacket is just a insulated fannel shirt.I have a bunch of the heavier stuff, like the big 'Packers" jackets, insulated coveralls, etc.... Also, only heat in my new shop is a small porpane heater...we had some pretty cold winters while we lived in Kansas, also the last few years.......... I guess some of us just never satisfied !

seems like it's cold everywhere, except 'down under' ! I thought it suppoesed to be warmer even here in Texas ! only in the 40's today !

Wonder Bread.... a few years ago my sister gave me a story of the Lone Ranger and how he got Silver. It's a small 'booklet' about 3 x 5 , about 10 'loose' pages clipped toghther. It came in a loaf of Wonder Bread !!!!!!

about the same going on here.... gets cold ( for here), down to 18 a few days ago.... also went to Wisc for Thanksgiving, got a chance to're-live' driving in the snow and ice (and cold )

I know we've done this before, but how cold is where you are ? Here Texas it is 33 dgrees, should be 55 this afternoon. A few places.... Minneapolis Mn 13 , N E north Dakota 9 , S E Kansas 21
