I still need the LH rear brake backing plate for my Skyliner but learned the LH & RH plates are different because of the hole for the emergency brake cable. I need a LH rear brake backing plate from...

My LH rear brake backing plate is ground off at the bottom and those shoes will not stay adjusted. Anyone know of a source? Are these LH & RH unique (different part #s) and Skyliner unique (will...

In the past my '57 Skyliner LH rear wheel must have come off and the brake backing plate got ground off where the brake adjusting screw will not stay adjusted. Does anyone have a source for a backing...

HERE IS THE FIX!! Go to NAPA and buy their thinner O-ring, part 727-2327. It fits. :)

ANYONE,

Regarding installing a new gas tank sending unit, the new rubber O ring/gasket that goes in the circular groove in the top of the tank and is right under the round silver top of the...

Jim,

My old gas tank is out. How did you install the new "fatter" O ring in your new tank? I boiled it in water to make it more pliable, used petroleum jelly as instructed by the sending unit...

Thanks Jim for your posting. I disconnected my driveshaft from the differential and pushed it forward as far as I could giving me a little clearance BUT since it goes through the X frame, it has very...

Thanks to everyone who replied. I found a gas tank source and received the tank about 2 - 3 weeks ago. Could NOT find one made in the U.S.A. so had to get one made in C..., you know where. :mad:

Please cancel the coupling request. I found a local shop that says they make them all the time. :)

Thanks Jim for your posting. I don't have a hoist but have the back end blocked up where the rear wheels are off the ground. Did you pull your driveshaft out all the way? If so, I have a question...

I cannot find step by step gas tank removal and installation instructions. Yes, I have the Shop Manuals. Is there a source for this? I have my new tank and sending unit and carefully drained the gas....

My first car? Would I want it back? No sir. It was a very faded gray 1948 Plymouth Club Coupe. It was as ugly as my first date and smoked like a grass fire. My next was a 1954 Victoria, 2dr hardtop....

Gregg, are you talking about the "gas tank neck grommet", part B7A 9080-B that attaches to the inside of the quarter panel? I need to know how the filler neck attaches to the tank. Is this just a...

I really have enjoyed all the pics you...

Well ... I had all 4 replaced with brass ones to the tune of $400 BUT it saved me lots of bruised knuckles & cursing. :o)

Forgive me, the Quanta gas tank is on my '56 T-Bird, NOT on my '57 Skyliner.

I need a new gas tank for my '57 Retractable. I will not use sealant OR any type of repair because of the many horror stories of others. Quanta Products (gastanks.com) does not have them for...

Thanks Ron. Your answer is exactly what I'm thinking. I think I had better do all 4.

Thanks Bill! Looking at them all, there isn't much room. I'm wondering how to insert them. Not much room for a block & hammer. Maybe I can find something about the same size as the inside of the plug...
