Part Numbers

 

Hi Guy's,
I think the Parts Data base is great. As I said before I have
just finished the bottom end of the car. I bleed the brakes today,
and have a strong full pedal. There was a problem getting all the air
out of a system that has been almost totally replaced. I had to
design a pressure feeder plate for the master cylinder, and it worked
great.
It bleed the system in 15 min. a done deal....
Everything below was replace except the brake shoes, wheel cylinders,
and cylinder cups. The cups were in good shape so I reused them.
These Bendix wheel cylinders I have had no luck so far finding, or
crossing for replacement. Now that I have explained where I am here is
a list of part numbers that I did find so I hope this will help.

I will start by saying that my business is right next to a NAPA Auto
Parts store. Could you ask for anything better! These guy's find this
project interesting, and have been bending over to help me find parts
for this little car.

One of the first things I had to replace was the Shocks. The one's
that were on this Comutarcar were Gabriel Shocks, and didn't cross.
NAPA did cross this shocks travel to a Monroe. The NAPA part # is
20721. Now there is one small problem with this shock, and that is
the bottom end of the shock has a mounting hole smaller then the
Gabriel. I solved this problem by turning the bolt down on my Lathe
from 5/8" to around 7/16". You make the choice for yourself if this
is what you want to do.......it worked for me.

The Master cylinder is a rebuilt NAPA Pt. # 10-1373 cost @ $26.00.
The only difference is the reservoir cover on this unit bolts down.
I find this easier to remove then the spring retainer.

Brake lines and such are not a problem, but if you want part #
let me know I'll send # that I used.

Hi Don,

What year C-Car do you have? I want to get the year for the master cylinder
and shock interchange list. That sounds like the same shock I used on my
Citicar. I drilled out the lower loop to 1/2" and replaced the lower shock
mount with a 1/2" bolt. As I recall they did not have the same compressed
length as the original Gabriels, but they did not bottom out.

FWIW, I am an ex-NAPA parts counterman, and still have access to the
catalogs and parts information, (they would like to hire me back).

Thanks,

Mike Chancey

Hi Folks,

Well, the begining of the parts interchange is up at:



It isn't much yet, but if we all share our info, it can become something
very useful.
