Re: IML: Ausco-Lambert disc brakes

[Paul <dilly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Roger,
thanks for the heads up. stainless sleeves. from another source i did 
learn that
"standard" cups from NAPA were used on one T&C years ago. i talked with the
present owner again a while ago. he told me that the engine was not 
stuck. when i
had tried to turn it by hand it would not budge, but supposedly he 
dropped a 12v
battery into it and it turned over, a prime to the carb and it 
started!!  hope he didn't
cook all the gages with 12v. also he found 3 of the vented wheel covers, 
the air cleaner,
and the missing door panels. he was upset when i told him the engine 
appeared stuck
because he was understanding that the engine had been rebuilt about 500 
miles ago,
but that was in the early '80s.
so, you were able to find a parts Crown? my dilemma is becoming less 
shadowy.
time and diligence have paid off for you obviously, i can follow that tact.
i think i am about to own my first Imperial.
have secured the use of a trailer, start my vacation this afternoon, hmmmmm.
guess this white bearded, fat boy is making a list, checkin' it twice 
and headed
out of town early monday morning.  top off the master cylinder and pump
away, if i get a little pedal, my father's day might include driving 2 
houses away
*_in style_* to show off.
