Hello everyone! The good news is I was able to install my new NOS brake pads today. Quick job with no surprises...except one! My unmolested (so I thought) 71 Fasty has had the calipers replaced along with the brake lines. The good news is...They both are working properly. The bad news is...They are not OE. (Jim - when you get some nice cores and do some rebuilds, I will be interested in some OE). Next - The steering damper is not OE. Made in Mexico. Next - The beauty rings are not OE. Made in Taiwan. Oh well! The only people who know this is you and me and the previous owner. Is there a bushing that will go where the gearshift lever and the shift rod meet. The metal on metal rattling is driving me nuts. (And if there is one, where can I get it.) Everett Barnes - I believe I have one of the Continental tires you are looking for. It is my spare. It is a 6.00-15L Schlauchlos 4PR Made in Germany. I am currently running reproduction BF Goodrich whitewall 3/4" Most likely from Coker Tire. Let me know if this is what you need. PS it is basically brand new. I need to change the trany oil. What kind should I use, where can I get the tool to get the plugs out, and how do I fill it back up if i do not have a pressurized system?
