Re: brake adjuster dust shields
Hello,
Today this was made from a piece of 1.5 dia. round , the small diameter 1.115 in. X 7/8 in. lg.then a ramp to the next step which is 1.215 in. The small diameter just clears the threads in the adjuster housing and is long enough that it is stable the large diameter is just shy of a new dust-cap dia. Bucking the backing plate on a piece of aluminum the device was tapped (hammered) into the backing plate.
The adjuster was so peened over a snap ring could have been installed, the home-made drift opened it up and the new dust cap fit nicely. I am thinking a small bead of black rtv plus staking it a few places
The photo with the rubber fuel line was taken when we first got the car, only a gallon or two of gas was in the tank at any time being it blocked up so frequently. I bought 36 fuel filters online for @ $10.00 and went through them quickly some fell apart before my eyes. The previous owner provided a kit that includes a sediment bowl and metal lines which are now in place.
Thank you,
Jay
