Hi i am trying to help a freind who has no internet.
He has a 67 D200. We are trying to do a front brake job. The adjusters and cables was shot and broken. Can anyone send me a picture on how this goes back together. Also it seams the right and left side are diff. We just dropped a fresher 383 back in this old girl and would like to drive her.
Thanks Mike

My e-mail if any one can send me the pics is

Thank you very much. We bought all new hardware at Rielys. It was $8 a side for the adjuster and new cable. This guy has 3 Sweplines. A 67 D100 parts truck. A 67 D200 he runs. And he just bought a 64 D200 with about 75 thou on the clock. The 64 has a poly 318 4 speed. Rust free truck. We found out it was used as a power take off for a farm. So most of the miles was sitting still. I am also a Mopar man but i have a 68 Fast Top Sport Fury

Just remmber- big shoe back, little shoe up
front and debur the backing plate were
the shoes rub!!

And check the shoes against the drum
to see how close they match.
If their not pretty close, remove
the high spot so their close.
This last one, if not done, can
cause drum brakes too pull like
heck to one side or the other
till they wear down....

You may already know this stuff, but good reminder
to have

Ok new item. We bought the new cables and adjusters. The new cables are short. He bought the longer of the 2 sets. Is there more than 2 sizes and would anyone have the part # for the right cables?
