Hi Terry:
Tom Harkins from malvern, PA. I have a 300 F and it is insured with my 20
year carrier, Allstate. Prioir to purchasing the F, I met with my agent qand laid
all cards on the table, ie, I want to drive the car to shows and meets and be
assured that it is covered for all contingencies. Allstate only required an
independant Appraiser to see the car and submit an Appraised value. This was
done and full coverage, Comprehensive, theft, fire, collison, etc was issued at
a cost of $185.00 every 6 months. The policy has been in effect since 8/99 and
no premium increases have been made since. I hope this helps someone else.
The Majors can be a way to go for our Brutes.

Hi Terry et al:
Perhaps I should have stated that I also have an umbrella policy with
Allstate as well as my other 3 vehicles insured through them. If this had an effect
on Allstate writing my policy on my F, they did not indicate it to be the case.

Terry,
I agree with those who recommend a major carrier. I have my 300G Coupe
insured with State Farm along with my driver cars. They charge my $200
per year on an agreed value of $40,000.

Subject: Disc Brake system for a Ram K
Fellow Members,
I am coming to the completion of restoring my Ram K and would like to
replace the drum brakes with a two or four wheel disc brake system. Any ideas?
Wilwood has a kit for a 1962 300 but not the J or K series cars. I thought
there was someone up in Washington state area that was doing kits but cannot
remember their name and found nothing on a web search.

Subject: Bunch of Letter Cars For Sale
Maybe this is old news to some of you???
There is a gentleman in Mena, Arkansas who I spoke to a couple of days ago.
His name is Don Rook (not sure of spelling - was/is member). He has at least
7 Letter Cars for sale. I have no idea of the condition of these cars. He is
open to offers. Number is 1-479-394-7555
Car list is:
'58 D Convert, '60 F Coupe, '60F Convert, '61G Convert 888 car carmel with 3
speed stick,
'62 H Convert Red, '65L Convert 4 speed. I think he has some other model
stuff also.
This is all I know, the rest is up to you.
My plate is full!
Let us all know what you find out. Have fun. If this is old news, sorry for
the repeat.

PS. Would you all like to come to Albuquerque for a future meet (Ray, I
could arrange a pretty nice one for not much moola?).

Quentin:
Perhaps you are thinking of the AAJ Brakes kit.
http://www.aajbrakes.bravepages.com/
They are featured on the Forward Look site. Roger is located in Portland, Oregon (503) 890-1469. He has also recently added a rear disc conversion kit for use on our old tapered axles.
I have a front conversion kit on my '62 300 Sport Convertible as well as my '65 Fury. They work very well and will accept 14 inch wheels if necessary. The kits utilize parts readily available at auto parts stores across the country. The beauty of this kit is that it just bolts on with no alterations.

Subject: J-K Ram Disc Conversion thoughts...
Quentin and all,
Something you may or may not have realized is that your
Ram K's remote mounted brake booster assembly contains a residual check valve
in the slave cylinder. This is designed to maintain minor pressure against the
wheel cylinders in drum brake cars. I have been told by several brake
rebuilders that if discs are used on a system containing any residual pressure check
valve that pressure will slowly build until the brake system just locks and
stops the car at which point you'd have to crack open a bleeder valve to get
going again.
I have considered disc conversions for both my K's but have not
decided what to do concerning several issues:
1) I don;t know how well or if the remote slave unit would function in
the absence of the residual valve. Running a disc/drum combination would seem
to cause a problem... Converting to 4 wheel discs and eliminating the check
valve would seem to make sense except for the fact that we're stuck with a
single reservoir master cylinder.
2) The single reservoir master cylinder may or may not have adequate
volume to run disc brakes. Additionally, converting to a later model, manual dual
circuit master cylinder would not solve anything since how would one plumb
the dual lines into the remote booster which is only desinged for one circuit
ie: one in and one outlet . . . I suppose you could run a line , without power
assist to the rear drums and run the front disc line through the booster
assembly for assist but it seems a little sketchy.
Remote booster / slave cylinders are still available from Midland and
used in large truck applications. Perhaps they make a dual circuit unit which
could be adapted .
Another thought... I had once heard that todays master cylinders ,
either new or rebuilt, don't contain residual check valves but new, currently
available wheel cylinders do. If this is the case then you may be able to run a
disc/drum combination with no check valves in the system other than in the
rear drum wheel cylinders.
At any rate... lots to consider ... hope I didnt muddy the waters too
much

Subject: Re: those medallions
Hi Ben,
The side medallions for all these various year cars (300C, 300D, 300E, 300F
and 300G ) were all drilled the same for the numerals and letters.
Therefore, any used medallion from any of those years will suit your
purpose. All the letters used the same mounting pin location.
There is such a set for sale on eBay right now at a very reasonable price :
$20.00 US (or, if you prefer, $37,595.62 Canadian )
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33654&item=2462872865
Good luck,

Subject: RE: Part number question
That is a 1950 vintage part number but it doesn't show in my 49 50 51
accessories master manual so is probably a bit newer. Tough to track down
accessories since they often don't show in the main parts manuals.
Also checked 54 master parts manual which covers back to 36 or so and it
isn't there but didn't really expect it to be either since most accessories
aren't shown.
Probably 51 or so?????

Subject: Re: Insurance.
all;
this is a good time to tell of how i saved a thousand dollars a
year!!!
for 29 years we had been customers of state farm, not 1 claim and
zero accidents in that whole time, as of 03 when i bought a new car we
would have had to pay 1900and change for yearly insurance, my wife is a
member of aarp and suggested checking out the hartford as aarp claimed
they were good. were they ever right!! ive switched to the hartford and
for more coverage than state farm am paying less that a thousand a year.
id strongly recommend anyone who is an aarp member to check them
out and anyone else who is eligible [over 50] to join and check them
out. i dont think that the hartford is a fly by night company and the
rates are great.....
