C-Lamb Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Finally putting my front end together. Thought it would be a 4 week break back in Jan 2023,but more like 18months in the end so I forgot more than planned... Looked on line for diagrams and pics and haven't found it, even ordered master parts catalog hoping for a diagram... Question-where does this metal shield go? Can't see it in my pictured and I can't see how to avoid problematic interference with the cylinder. I must be missing something stupid. Thanks!

Steve_bigD Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Definitely upside down. Here is a photo of my 38 Buick brake plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootey Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 There is a dust seal that goes underneath the tin plate. Bobs Automobilia sells theMm I’ll attach the page if his catalog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Lamb Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Thanks everyone, been busy and don't get email notifications... gotta fix that. Really appreciate all the responses. I eventually noticed I had a good picture of the front wheel assembly and realized it was upside down. I have the felt dust shields but they're a bit rough, I should order replacements! One more question - I have several of these washers. I believe at least one goes on the bolt holding the lower control arm to spindle assembly - do both go there or somewhere else? Getting the springs compressed and the spindle bolted in has been a real challenge. I bought an inner spring compressor but the plates that slide in are too thick to fit between the spring layers Thanks again for all the help..
