Hello Neal,(and List)
  The pads for the rear of '74-5 Imperials are readily avail in Autoparts 
stores for about $15 (fifteen) per set. The # is D-93. The lower-metal lip 
has to ge ground-down slightly so as not to contact the hub. I would 
strongly suggest using Organic pads vs. Metallic ones since the Organic ones 
are easier on those impossible-to-find rear rotors.

  I just put rear pads and new brake hardware on the rear of my '75 a few 
months ago. If anyone would like some detailed pics of how to do this easy 
job,please email me privately for pics. It might take me a few days to 
respond.

If anyone out there in Imperial-land who owns the 1974 & 1975 models is 
seeking the rear disc brake pads, my mechanic here in Beltsville, MD, a 
suburb of Washington, has tracked down ten sets through one of his 
suppliers.  They are $75 a set, and I have no idea whether that's a deal or 
not.  He's done marvelous work on my '59 Imperial and '72 Riviera, which I 
just took on a 1700 mile trip to Chicago and back, and he's quite well 
versed on early '60s Mopars of all varieties, for anyone in the Washington 
area who is looking for someone who knows these cars.  Please e-mail him 
directly at salvage04@xxxxxxx or his shop at 301/937-4541.  Ask for Smitty.
