[Tigers] Fw: Questions\Issues

[ironbeast]

Joel,
The hole in the bearing cap is supposed to be there for venting. The shop manual also notes that they should not be filled with grease to work correctly.B 
I recently had my calipers rebuilt by apple hydraulics. I think it was about $B 113/caliper. Got em in about a week with new pistons and crossover seal.-not loaded. I was happy with them.

The ride height on the front of my 66 MK1A is too high - car slopes front to
back with stock springs and the CAT rubber insolator which are 5/8" thick.B  It
has been suggested to use Mustang II insolators as well as possibly changing
to Rick's 450 pound springs, which if I remember right are 1" shorter.B  Any
ideas without changing springs or cutting stock springs as I do not like to
cut any springs?

The front brake dust caps have a small hole in the center - is this correct? 
If not source and part number to get new ones - We have taken to NAPA to match
up new ones to no avail.

Is there suppose to be a rubber seal that goes on the 'inner fender where it
meets the wing?B  Possibly like the MGB - cannot seem to determine.B  Little too
wide a gap for using sealer.B  Ideas?

Rebuilt brake calipers or getting yours redone source?B  I rebuilt both
calipers with MGB SS pistons and rebuild kit and also put in new split caliper
seals, though I cannot for the life of me find where I got them.B  One of the
rebuilt calipers is leaking at the split seal location.

Regards
Joel Martin
