I think my brakes may be toast, I’ve been soaking them in a mix of Marvel Oil and some leftover unused diesel weight truck motor oil for about a month now and I hope they come free. We’ll see if they come loose with some pb blaster too. Do any of you guys know if this fits for front brakes?
https://www.carid.com/racing-power-company/...?vehicle=115386 I know it’s probably not going to be as good as oem, I’m just a poor college student haha. My goal here is simply driving and stopping safely, I’ll do a full restoration in a few years when I’ve got the money to. I’d just hate to miss out on these cars and then have them skyrocket the way 911’s seem to have done. |

I'm all for learning, but you are right to doubt their advice.
Just tell them you had a better idea and got a cheap boat anchor at Harbor freight and tied it to the engine block with a chain. You can just throw it out to stop. Just say it with a straight face. I'd pay a dollar to hear their response. Trust the guys here. If you do replace them use the same part. They are not too terribly expensive. |
