  1. I have a 54 Belevadere with a overdrive in it. My lock out switch is bad read that to mean broken. Where in the heck do I find a replacement? I managed to get another back up light switch but no luck on the lock out switch! The threads are much larger on the lock out switch vs the back up light switch I got. Any help would be much appreciated!
  2. When I had my shop I ran into this quite a bit. I was in rural Southeast Alaska and Napa was the only game in town. I ran into a two part problem with calipers. First was the Chinese crap replacement banjo bolts are just a hair undersized! Example I found that what was a metric 10mm bolt head on a factory ball joint was always a 9mm bolt head on the Chinese stuff. So putting that together with the leaking caliper and a micrometer I found the threads just slightly undersized. The next problem was exactly the same thing with the crush washers. I bought a Napa master kit for banjo bolts and copper crush washers those at the time were USA made (may have changed been a little over a year now since I bought my last kit) I would switch out my leakers with ones from the kit when I came across them it was more frequent towards the end. I did lots and lots of brakes so trust me I ran into a lot of this! As a side note when I had a chance to salvage banjo bolts from factory set ups I saved them all! A trip to the local pick n pull is a good source for these bolts to have in your stock pile. I wish I had that convince up in Alaska. Remeber these days if you are a mechanic your standard tools see no to very little action it is all metric and so goes the way of the off shore crap that is shoved down our throat as replacement parts!
