The Bronze Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I might.. MIGHT... have brake shoes. I think there was a box in the boot when I imported mine, assume they're same between years. Failing that try the northwestern guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the complete front drum assemblies that I took off when converting to discs. I rebuilt these in ~2004 and took them off in 2015. Flexible hoses were new in 2004 too. I also have a Greg Donahue stabilizer bar that locks out the weird front suspension pivots. Free if you want them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this redundant because you made up those replacement shafts and cancelled that weird suspension thing? Does the same job? Now I've got the engine out I'm tossing up doing the bushes and if I do that, maybe losing that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it all back together with the same bushes. If you are feeling like it you can just zap weld the pivoting parts with a MIG. Probably the WOF man wouldn't notice. The stabilizer bar locks the pivoting parts together across the car, it sits just in front of the anti-roll bar. Before I put it on it would swerve pretty badly with brake dive.
