Hello Again!
Sorry for being a bit later on this reply. Thanks all for your continued support on this. I appreciate all the feedback.
Art: I grabbed the used cables from the 1983 GLT but felt the outer housing crumble while I was cleaning them. The cable may still work in a pinch since the housing is in compression, not tension. The might be a good exercise regardless. I'll be able to check for dry linings as soon as I get the car home and can inspect all that. But, I'm pretty sure the parking brake does not even work that well.
Dave: When I started on this last year, I went looking for the star adjusters and then reminded myself that the car does not have them. I can check for the balance and count the notches when it's home.
Bulletproof: The only adjustment will be the lever adjustment. Thanks.
Chris: I will plan on checking the rotor inner diameter (probable have to find a machinist friend) and compare to the data in the manual, assuming it has that information. I will also check the arc of the shoes to rotor and make sure they match, more or less.
Regards,
Cam
