[T3] Putting everything back together


        1970, AT, electronic FI (72 engine), consequentially I have
self-adjusting disk brakes in front and drum brakes in the rear.
        I just about have all the parts and have begun putting it all
back together, so far only two questions:
        If I can't find a bubble protractor (I'm going to look for one
tomorrow), how can I make certain that the lower torsion arm is in at the
right angle?  I'm eyeing it the best I can based on the pictures in
Bentley's, but that is far from a sure method.
        Second, I had taken the old brake pads out and was attempting to
push the pistons back all the way, and while I got some space I don't
have nearly enough...any suggestions?  I should mention that I was doing
this without the brake disc since I needed to replace a seal in the
caliper and then I had to space them to even get them back on to the
brake disc since I had pushed on the brakes for one reason or another and
since they are self-adjusting the were pretty near completely set
together.  Also, I haven't tried spacing them with them on the brake
disc.

Sincerely,
Christopher J. Valade
