Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: One Part, Two Part, No Part, New Part

Lu I was told by my parts man a while back that the single diaphragm
booster was for drum brakes and the double was for disc brakes. No
remanned single diaphragm  one was available anywhere so I got a NOS one
from Kennedy American. I kept the old one in case I ever needed one and
would have this one rebuilt. Also the masters are different between the
drum and disc brakes.

Lots of questions here, Doc! I don't mind that a bit! I have a small
5 gallon air compressor that I use for sandblasting. I use it with a
siphon type bucket of sand attached to a ceramic lined blasting gun.
The sand is purchased from a local foundry which sells all grades of
blasting sand. I buy the fine grit in 50 lb. bags for around $5 each.

I am trying to order a power booster with the single diaphram, but
will have to look at what the factory sent to me when it gets here.
It will be a Cardone reman. one for a 72 - 74 Gremlin. The book did
not get any more specific (except that it was for disc brakes).

I have not gotten new brake hoses yet, but plan to purchase them.
John & I will be making and bending our own brake lines since he has
the equipment and skill to do it.

Thanks for the advice on brake adjustment. I will need to remember
that when ready to test them. ~Lu~
