I'm interested in the drum to disc conversion also. If possible, can you provide a complete list of parts needed (m/c, hoses, clips, etc, etc, etc) TIA!!!

WOW!!! Used the 1157R LED bulbs and what a nice difference. I always worry about those folks that "I didn't see any brake lights Officer".

That's the info!!! Thanks!!

Is the red or the white LED brighter once installed behind the red lens?

Thank you!!

1963 Landau - Both brake been working no problem for about 5 months. Last drove it 2 months ago, but when I started it this morning (tough to get going), the passenger brake light was inop. How do I get to it to check/replace? TIA

Very seriously considering selling my very well documented 1963 loaded with factory optional equipment with 127k miles. I'm thinking in the $22 - 23k range. Recent complete mechanical work on the brakes, trans, exhaust, and shocks. Lots of factory options include fully functioning a/c, power windows...

I found it, but am surprised that it only about an inch long. It does not have a drain hose attached to carry the a/c condensed water down below the frame rails. It now drains on top of the transmission. Will look into putting a longer hose on it. Thanks!!

Many thanks for the info and the clarification!!!

1963 Landau w/factory ac. I'm assuming that on firewall, passenger side, upper area near hood spring, is a fresh air vent intake. Is this vent hose available or can another application hose be used? Thanks!!

1963 Landau with factory ac. Where is the drain hose located? There's a rather large hose that exits toward the front of the engine that I thought was the ac drain hose. After being test drive while it was on the rack being serviced last week, there was a somewhat larger amount of water flowing down...

Had the COM professionally rebuilt on my 126k mile 1963 Landau. What typically are the shifting speeds from 1st to 2nd, and from 2nd to 3rd? Under "regular" driving conditions, mine seems to shift into 2nd around 10 mph, and into 3rd around 35 mph. If I don't come to a complete stop around...

One hose on each front wheel; but where is the "3rd" rubber hose? Thanks!!!

On rear axle connecting the fixed steel lines.

Found it; thank you!!!

Used emery cloth on the inside of the right front drum (looked new; no ridges, scars, scuffs, etc) and on both of the shoes (10 years old, but only 5k miles). Reinstalled hub, tightened bearings, and adjusted "star" wheel to try to obtain even pressure to rotate wheels. Still slight pull t...
