"So washer between the caliper and the bracket that’s it’s mounted to, huh?
As far as I remember I had no washers in the kit...
I’ll hve to call them again, damnit "
"Just took a pic of my front brakes.
Are you saying that there should be some washer ?
where? Between those two brackets that caliper is mounted to?"
"What was the ‘washer’ issue you had???
What washer are you talking about ?"
"Last year I went over the Master Cylinder and a Booster, measured the internal arm etc... everything is correct!
I dont get that ‚washer’ issue JoeD talks about... too bad he’s not participating in this conversation."

To me it seems like that piston travels too far and loses it strength that’s why I wonder it there’s some way…"
"They’ve already replaced the prop valve for the disc-disc setup and still it does slooooooow down...
start to regret the fricken ‘conversion’
Those are self adjusting calipers...or maybe there’s a trick to it...?!"

Did you have to do any adjustments with calipers? Any spacers ?

Jamco suspension - problems!!! HELP NEEDED!
Posted on August 17, 2015 at 10:59pm 6 Comments 0 Likes
has anybody installed Jamco lowering suspension?????
I got the 3" lowering kit from them as well however Imnhavig problem with the rear suspension!
The shorter coil is ok BUT the shock that Jamco sent me is literally the same Monroe shock that I had installed previously and it is too long to close the coil, I mean when I'll install it and lower the jack the compressed coil opens up and comes out!
Of course it would be fine if I put the wheel back on and put the car down but I… Continue

So I've started a big project on one of my DeVils. I'm going to replace the suspension with Jamco 3" dropped kit!
Since my rear differential has a leak, I've dcided to take the whole end out and replace the seal along with the gasket! So far it's been a pain with the pinion seal and now with the pinion r flendge that did not go all the way in!
My question is - does anybody know how much fluid does rear differential take???
Shop manuals does NOT specify the amount of the fluid… Continue

Dash removal
Posted by Jake Mickley on October 9, 2019 at 12:06am 9 Comments 0 Likes
Hello everyone,
On a 63 CDV, if a guy wanted to remove the entire dash to get all the metal painted, and do some other things behind there, how would he go about doing that? I checked here and the shop manual, but can't find a complete guide.
As always, and help or direction is appreciated. Thanks!
