RE: IML: 1967 brake problem and parts recommendation

["Edward Tiede" <e_tiede@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

  This spring when I had to change a brake caliperr on my ' 67 convertible 
I found that many auto parts  dealers had the wrong listing for the brake 
pads.  Luckly I was able to clean the pads I had.  This summer I found a set 
of pads on ebay througt Mitchell Motors.
