Thanks Richard. They will make installation much easier.


I got to the bottom of the brake pedal issue. I popped the lid off the master cylinder and the front reservoir was very low. I immediately went to the worst case scenario and spent 45 minutes inspecting the brake lines and calipers. It ended up being the pads which were the last thing I looked at. The pads were worn down to about an 1/8" . I installed a new set of Bosch Quietcast pads and everything was back to normal.

The rotors looked nice and miced out between 126.2 and 126.7. The minimum is 127.5. I noticed the rotors are the original factory one with the groove in the center of the pad area. Which is important since I believe they only came that way on 71 & 72's. I still don't know for sure what 5 lug spindles are installed. But if the rotor's are grooved that would rule out 73 and later spindles. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.

I guess I had better take a look at the rear shoes as it has been about 14k miles since I looked at them and although they showed little wear on last inspection I have no idea what quality of shoes were installed.
