[Amc-list] Brakes more brakes

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

OK all this talk of brakes got me off my butt and I replaced
the wrong rear wheel cylinders in my Hornet for the right ones.
I'd bought 'em last summer.

Before I did the deed I verified the bores w/a caliper:

wrong size: .875" 	7/8" (14/16")
right size: .8125"	13/16"


Before, the rears locked up too early, especially if wet.

Now, front rear balance on dry is PERFECT, just perfect. The
car stops as fast or faster than any car I've had, and in a
dead-straight line right on the verge of losing the contact
patch.


If anyone wants the 7/8" rear wheel cylinders, they're yours for
$7 for shipping cost. They're 2 years old maybe, and I change
brake fluid yearly. They'll just rust if I store them here.
