[Amc-list] American Rear Brakes



I checked the TSM for the 66, 67,and 68 for American rear brakes. On
the drum brake set up a Bendix Duo-Servo Type Brake was used for both 9 
inch and 10 inch brakes. For Disk brakes, the Bendix Non-Servo for 10
inch rear brakes was used. This is the back brake set where parts are
hard to find. When I converted my 67 American for disk brakes, I kept
the Bendix Duo-Servo type brake. Since the drum brake setup did not
have a proportioning valve, I used the brake line setup and
proportioning valve setup from a 73 Hornet and mounted the
proportioning valve in the same place as it was mounted in the Hornet.
The 66, 67 and 68 American lists a 29/32 inch wheel cylinder. I
replaced it with a 7/8 inch wheel cylinder. In 69, AMC went to the
Bendix Duo-Servo Type Brake for both drum and disk brake setups.
