Well, i finished up the dis assembly, cleaning, detailing, painting, of the 1965-72 A body, 4 piston, Kelsey Hayes, disc brake calipers, that i took in as cores, for the rebuilt pair that i sold to a member over on the A bodies site.
Now I'm just waiting on the rebuild kits to arrive from Rock...
Two types of "tire cages" to my understanding.
Ones, the tire and wheel assembly goes into, and others the human being themselves are in.
And possibly, Both, at the same time.
The Air Force ones that i was familiar with, the wheel and tire assembly went into the cage.
I remember back in my Air Force days, working the F-4 Phantoms, as a flight line crew chief, jet aircraft mechanic, the "tire cages" the airmen used in the tire shop, putting those tires and wheels together.
My other 8" bench grinder, wire wheel brush, was dying a slow death, so i picked this one up this morning, from a local listing on Craigslist.
3/4 horsepower, 3/4 inch arbor, so it's a industrial heavy duty unit, that should suit me well, in the suspension and brake rebuilding, that i do to...
My current pair of LCA's that i now have for sale. Rebuilt pair #21
And now, this is the very last pair that i have for sale.
If i don't find anymore to rebuild, I'm out of business, doing these.
And 30, 40, 50, year old cars don't show up anymore at the self serv, Pick-N-Pull wrecking yards...
Well, i grew up in the arm pit of Connecticut.
Waterbury, Connecticut.
When manufacturing was great, back in the dinosaur days, Waterbury, was known as the brass center, capital, of the world, with all the factories that were located back in that city.
I always hated that run down, decayed...
I canceled my Comcast cable tv subscription as it got more and more expensive for this old man to afford each month.
So last night i put together this antenna, and then this morning, installed it on the house.
Now, i just have to get a bit longer coax cable to go down the interior garage wall...
Walking is very good for the body.
My routine for loosing weight, was upping the distances that i walk and eating a whole lot less.
Between April, and October, last year i lost 50 pounds off this old mans body. (71) And i'm 5 foot, 11 inch, in height.
The doctors tell me i'm pretty much at an...
I walk around my neighborhood, three times a day.
Each walk is one mile, around my neighborhood.
At my pace it takes me 18 minutes, if i don't talk to anyone, or pet the dogs.
I put one of those step meters in my pocket, and it's right around 2,200 steps for the mile.
So, 3 times a day, 6,600...
Well, i got down to the Stockton, California, Pick-N-Pull, wrecking yard, this morning, and got the lower control arms off a plain Jane, 1972 Plymouth Satellite, for me to do my rebuilding on them.
Just a drum brake car, or i would have gotten everything else off it.
Back in the 60's, i thought my American Flyer trains were the coolest thing around.
EDIT:
When the Aurora road race sets came around, the trains, sorta, kinda, lost interest.
I have this BENDIX disc brake caliper brake hose mount bracket that are used on the 66-69 B body line of cars when equipped with Bendix disc brakes.
This one is for the LEFT side caliper.
This is the last of the Bendix disc brake parts, that i have for sale, from my stash, hoard, collection...
