Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I don't know why I had to do what I did, but I now have a working parking brake.
9" Ford axle, aftermarket 5x5 axles
90's Caprice rotors
90's Z/28 calipers
Fabricated my own adapters.
For some reason, I had to remove the parking brake levers, and build up quite a bit of metal so that they would apply without "over-centering" and becoming inoperable. I did discover there is an adjusting screw for one side of the brake pad, which I had to replace with a longer one, but it didn't all want to play nice with me.
But I have a welder and a grinder, so I won.
