    brake rod from vacuume booster

    anyone know off hand how far out of the booster the rod usually sticks out that goes into the master cylinder?? Just changed my master cylinder, seems it should maybe stick out a bit further. Thanks

    I have it in the vice, I made some steel lines to bench bleed, but got a few bubbles out of the front but not much, only pushing the piston in about an inch,

    I am bench bleeding a new master cylinder for my brakes on my 87 GMC, Is it common to not get many bubbles from the front reservoir if any at all? Back res is doing fine but very little action from the front!

    Has anyone superglued the copper contacts down on the circuit board ?

    My My 87 had 2 wires in the radio harness that were part of the radio lights, a brown and a gray wire, I assume that one was the light and the other was the dimmer for the radio.

    Has anyone superglued the copper contacts down on the circuit board ?

    just on the circuit board, nothing on the bulb holders, I bent the little copper tangs on the holders up a bit so they would have more pressure against the circuit board, the new bulb holders seemed to fit a little snugger when in place

    Has anyone superglued the copper contacts down on the circuit board ?

    Just replaced my printed circuit today,everything laid down pretty nice, sanded all the electrical connections for the gauges and lights and used new bulb holders. I used just a dab of super glue on the corners and near the turn indicators to keep them in place

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I bought a headlight relay harness for the 87, didn;t like the cheesy pigtails that were on the harness so I am soldering new pigtails on the harness for the headlights. should be a much better set up.

    Flip up wipers arms?

    these are for a Jeep,and a ford, neither had wet arm stuff,both were hook ends, I went on the dorman website and searched windshield wiper arms. at 18 inches they might work. I would have to switch to cowl squirters but not a big deal for me

    emergency brake cables

    thought about that but I think the drums and hubs maybe different, and in short supply around here!! I think this retro fit to an earlier type of cable system should work, just may have to get a different cable coming off the pedal if it doesn't hold up

    emergency brake cables

    thats exactly how I have mine routed now, just need to figure out the connection from the cab cable to the u cable going back to the rear end, need a couple more hangers and I think this will work, I bought a cable connector from Lokar to make that connection after I cut the cable down that goes...

    Flip up wipers arms?

    dorman # 42591 and 42630 are what I found, both are 18 inches long I looked at the pics and both are spline push on type, but no mention of the spline diameter. My GMC has .61 size spline.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    thanks , the area around the turn indicators seem to be a weak spot as well,I was thinking using some silicone to hold it down would help the plastic board get trained to the curves. I have had this cluster in and out 4 times chasing gremlins this winter so I will definitly check all the lights...
