    Mounting Wheel + Brakes To Table

    Sure. Basically I want the bare minimum needed to include a disc an caliper into this setup I already have going, I just don't know what brackets I'll need.

    Mounting Wheel + Brakes To Table

    Very true. I already have the wheel mounted, no problem. Just want to figure out how to include the brakes in there.

    Mounting Wheel + Brakes To Table

    So I have a set of wheels that I took off my '66 a while back that I'm going to make end tables out of. Mounting the wheel itself is pretty straightforward, I just throw some bolts through where the studs would go and into the wooden base I've built. BUT, I'd also like to mount it with a brake...

    They're MB Wheels Old School. Can't find the receipt but I was sure about my sizing. I suppose it's worth measuring again to make sure, I'll see about that.

    Wheels-Tires '66 17x8 Rubbing

    It's been some time since I put the new wheels on the car (see past threads) and in that time I haven't been able to drive her much because of significant rubbing on both the front and occasionally rear (over a bump, or with weight in the back, etc). I put 17x8" 4.75 bs (I believe) on both...

    Any value in my old 289 and original C4 automatic?

    So, this is related to my recent thread about transmission trouble with my resto shop. I have the existing 289 and original C4 automatic transmission from my 66 mustang and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. They worth anything? The transmission is in good condition, the engine had a...

    Rubbing doesn't really do this justice

    Nope, other one looks much better. Though, I can't run it through its full range of motion since the drivers side prevents it. Perfect, I'll look into this, thanks. MB Wheels Old School: Wheel Details - Discount Tire Direct

    Rubbing doesn't really do this justice

    It's a little loose, and likes to drift, but I don't have to fight it to keep it going where I want it to.

    Rubbing doesn't really do this justice

    Not sure I measured properly, but about 22 inches. Camber could be completely wack, since I haven't been driving it / had an alignment since I got it back from the shop after the wreck. Could that be enough to screw up the horizontal position that much?

    Won't start- (autor) transmission safety switch

    Won't start- (auto) transmission safety switch For a long time I've seen this coming- I have to jiggle the shifter in park a couple times to find a good position in which the car will crank. Now, no amount of rearranging the shifter will allow the starter to turn over. Help?

    Rubbing doesn't really do this justice

    Soooooo, new wheels and tires: 17x8 all around, 4.75" backspacing 235/45/17 front 245/45/17 rear but, I can't turn my wheels, because as you can see, they run into the inner front lip of my fender. I was going to see about rolling that section of the fender but after looking at it...

    wheel question

    Agreed, but if you go back and look at his context he wasn't specifically referring to those wheels, just the trend as a whole.

    Daily driver insurance?

    The car is a few days out from completion and I need to have insurance on it when it rolls off the body shop floor. I'm with Nationwide now but I'll only get as much coverage as an appraisal says it's worth, and I want protection for all the money that has gone into the vehicle, regardless of...

    The wreck and rebuild

    The police originally cited her with a ticket, but when the witness retracted her statement they voided the ticket too. The problem was that it was under an intersection, and they couldn't prove which way the light was set at that moment.

    The wreck and rebuild

    Got in a wreck July 16, 2005, have been in and out of shops and dealing with insurance ever since. Now, finally, the car is within a week or two of being back in my hands and I realized that I hadn't ever posted about it here. So: I was driving on a six-lane road with a small concrete median...
