    Missing brake calliper bolt

    Today I went to leave and had an unusual knocking sound, checked it out and I’ve lost the bottom most bolt that holds the calliper in place. Would I be able to buy this from any bolt shop or would I need to find someone who has an extra?

    Thanks Hillman, I haven’t been able to get in touch with SS so I was wondering what comes with the caliper kit? I’m hoping it’s everything I need because almost everything except for the caliper and bolts needs to be replaced.

    In another thread someone mentioned a brake caliper kit from Napa, does it work for the original calipers? I have seen the ones from SS but if I could find one locally it would cut down on costs. The seals are old as well as the hoses, has anyone found a modern brake line that works or is...

    Ahh okay, I believe the hole under the bell housing had expanded a bit but now I’m not concerned. The mirror is unfortunate I will have to order another bullet mirror to match the passenger side. The chrome piece appears to have been in a package with the steering column cover, it does seem to...

    I have searched further into the car and found a quarter sized hole in the bottom of the bell housing, should I replace the whole thing or weld a steel cover over the hole?

    Is it worth it?

    Thank you all! Life has a funny way of changing things, I am just completing the purchase of a wedgewood blue 59’ series one ( it has been repainted from thistle grey ). It comes with many spare parts which I’m sure will make there way onto this forum. I believe this to be a better deal and...

    Duel carb to single

    Thank you all for you suggestions, I will keep the the twin setup going until it becomes a bigger problem, I will keep the single weber in my mind if they become used beyond repair.
