Tom, and all:
I remember trying to do this, and I can't remember the details but it was
more than
just the fittings. Something with the brake adjustors, or hand brake, was
different and
because of that, the mounting was not the same. I could be wrong, too bad
my 510
wagon is not in the air anymore, or I would go out to the shop and look for
you.
If no one else has the right answer, E-mail me back and I will jack up my 72
sportwagon
and take a look.
Best Regards,
Jim
Chesapeake, Virginia
