Morning! I am looking to replace the fuel cell and put the tank back on my 71 Roadrunner. I have the new tank but there is no neck. Can someone please let me know what angle I need? It fills under the license plate. Also if there is anything special I should know about hooking the gauge up, I'd...

Good morning Ray70Chrg. My master cylinder was leaking and the leak was inside the car under the carpet. When I pulled the MC off, the bushing inside was shot. A new MC is not very expensive and it is fairly straightforward to bench bleed before installing. Make sure you get new gaskets, maybe a...

Good Morning! I am hoping someone can give me a hand. I am looking for a master cylinder boot retainer. It is the hard plastic piece that holds the boot to keep the dust and dirt out of the manual brake system. If anyone has one I can buy or can point me to one I would be very grateful. I...

Hello again... Been chasing my brake issue and found brake fluid at the firewall coming from the MC. Before I pull this thing off and try to replace it, is there a gasket at the firewall? The replacement didn't come with one and I don't want to start this if I can't just finish it. 71 RR...

The light never worked since I picked up the car. There is no radio and the heater controls all work with no issue. I don't have a gauge to test the fuses but am willing to give it a shot. Thoughts on where I can grab something cheap? This is all very new to me so I am learning as I go.

My lights are out on my dash and it's not the fuses (they were all replaced). I am attempting to remove the cluster to get to the bulbs and replace those but do I need to drop the steering column to get it out? It looks like yes, but is there anything else I should pull/remove while I'm at it...

I just need the parts that attach the cable to the shoes. I found them on YearOne.com but they are on back order with no ETA on when they will be available.

Hello, I am looking for the levers to attach my parking brake cables to the rear 11" drum shoes. Does anyone have these or know where I can get the right part?

I dont have a metering valve. I have all drums. *Not sure if that matters or if should get one.*

Sorry to say I am still working on my brakes. I have replaced the hoses and lines for the front as well as the distribution block/proportioning valve. Bless the MC and got through the rear brakes. The rear brakes are in good shape but I am only getting a trickle of brake fluid from the front...

Hey everyone. I am working on the trim for my 71 RR and there is no stripping on the trunk. Can someone please post a pic of what this should look like on the car so I can make sure I orient the stripping correctly. I have attached a picture of what I am working with.

No DOT 5 that I am aware of. I think the hoses are shot that run between the metal line and drums. Ordered replacement pieces so now I wait. I really appreciate all the help.

Nope. MC looks dry. Just got to the front brakes and the passenger side is not draining even with the vacuum pump. I was able to get fluid when pumping the brakes but now they are at the floor. I'm sure that means I need to start over, right? Quick update no fluid leaks from front pass or...

Could it be a broken bleeder? I'll still do the front tires but wanted to be sure I wasn't messing up.

Yeah I got a vacuum pump because I expected to do this by myself and was told that would make it easier.
