Ok i have a problem
Im having some brake problems in my 66 Galaxie here in Aust, so i parked it on the path in front of my house, and took all the brake parts out and took it to my nearest Repco store for replacements. But it turns out that Repco have no listings for Galaxies, so im sort of stuck.
It turns out the galaxies pads are similar to the XY falcon stuff, but bigger.
I was told that i would most probably have to get the parts from Ford, or from the US.
What I need is the following:
- Front rotors (The measurements for the rotor are – Diameter = ~295mm, Width(currently) = ~30mm, Total height = ~115mm)
- Front pads (Bendix S776 are similar in design, but slightly smaller then what I have now)
- Front wheel bearings
- Rear Drum pads (The drum is 11” x 2.5”, the shoe was 11” x 2.25” with the same design as the N1271)
- Rear drum wheel cylinder (The repco bloke got a wheel cylinder for an XY, and the mounting holes were slightly bigger in his then mine)
- Front Caliper rebuild kit, if possible (The callipers I believe are Kelsey Hayes, due to the pad design being similar to the S776(which goes on the XY Kelsey Hayes calliper)
- Rear drum spring kit
Its rather urgent because the car shouldnt be on the path and i may get in trouble for it. I willing to buy the parts from the US if im assured they are what i need.
I have photoed the parts i need, and you can view those here : http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kennedaymatt/album?.dir=/3219
Im also after photos, diagrams, etc.
Im contactable at kennedaymr@iinet.net.au .
Any help much appreciated.
