Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up

Through a Dutch importer I ordered some stuff from LMC Trucks today:
Paintable front bumper, because I want an all black face, no chrome
the signal switch which hopefully will solve my wanky blinker problem.
and some more rear brake stuff, because I'm not as 'meticulous' as I should be.


the rights brake shoes all went on without to much hassle, hence my suprise when I tried mounting the left side and I just couldn't get it right.
first of all the left brake wheel cilinder appeared to be leaking, something I didn't notice before, but that's no biggy. I have restored my fair share of brake cilinders in my life. But then I noticed the park brake lever (the one in the drum with the cable attached) sat in a funny position...
a simple tug at the cable revealed it was jammed stuck.

so..in my LMC order are brake wheel cilinders and new park brake cables so apart from the backing plate, everything will be new.
