randroid Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 Tim, Sometimes I'm aghast at the prices people will ask for their wares but some folks will pay too much simply for the privilege of driving a certain car, and if they're going to drive it they can't very well call it an investment due to careless motorists. I hope he gets his price. There is, after all, a seat for every @$$#ole. -Randy Quote
48mirage Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 If I could get $1,199 for mine I would go with front discs and and a later model rearend. Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Or you can build something like this and use it to get your rear brake shoe even enough to work to just fine. Cost about two dollars and 50 cents. Quote
rolliejoe Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Maybe you should sell the plans for your $2.50 tool on EBay, make sure to mention Ammco 1750 in your ad. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Well..........part of the reason for those prices are that so many people seem to think that tool is really needed. That makes it even more in demand to get a higher price. The brakes on our cars aren't all that complicated and can be adjusted with just a wrench and an ear' date=' and paying attention to what you are doing. Really don't need that tool. Just use the Clyman method.[/quote']I totally agree- you don't have to use that Ammco tool or the Miller tool set! Have both and usually don't use them! Bob Quote
rolliejoe Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Actually' date=' there are many different ways to make that tool that Jon posted. If you search the forum you may find how other people made a similar tool that works. Think the plans are also someplace in one of the links on the main site. Some people made them out of wood.[/quote']I was just thinking if there were plans on Ebay on how not to have the need for the Ammco 1750's, the prices might come down. Quote
