Default Brakes

I also got the brake booster and master cylinder installed, I bought these from the Right Stuff Detailing a long time ago, The only issues I had, the holes on one side was off and I had to open it up a bit, Also didn't come with correct piece to mount to brake pedal, had to buy it separately, Overall very nice plating with correct Delco stamping.

Good to see you back again working on '73 T/A.

Read through the early pages of this thread years ago. Quite a bit of very good technical information presented for those dealing with replacing a 2nd Gen roof. Thank you for detailing that process!

3M strip caulk seems to be the one replacing original 3m thick rope caulk.

that's some great work you're doing!
I actually had no idea you could get a replacement firewall pad!
