Is that any New Yorker and Dodge wagons only? Not easy to come by in and of themselves, but if any NY'er will work I could get some cores probably. I say probably because it's the same place as my '60 and who knows what shape the stuff will be in.

Donors can be obtained from 1963-64 New Yorker or Dodge wagons, or 1965-73 if you include the lower control arms. --Roger ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Filtz To: Rog & Jan van Hoy Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 8:15 AM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] them's the brakes Rodger, Excuse my ignorance on this but is the newer Bendix duo-servo drum brakes just a different material on the shoe or is this a different system? My 56 Dodge is running the stock drum brakes and stops just fine for a 40+ year old car but if a different material on the shoes would help, I am all over it.
