p/n 4309530 right hand lower hinge, p/n 4309351 left hand lower hinge
fits all full size 1961 through 1964. The first mention of self adjusting brakes in the factory brochures was in 1963. |

Thanks.....for the info...
I looked at the hinges....and they looked the same....just wanted to make sure....before I pulled them..... It appears that door needs to come off....and lower portion of fender needs to be unbolted? This 63 has NO self-adjusting hardware....so I am assuming previous owner didn't like the concept... |

When I first started work as a mechanic self adjusting brakes had only been out a few years and people didn't trust them. Whenever we did the first brake job on a car that had self adjusters we removed them. Simple job.
