Rear Brake Standard Diameter

Well how about that! I thought I was the only one that was missing that section. 

Thanks for the '69 section 5. I'll keep it with my '68 Service Manual and until someone else comes up with section 5 for the '68 version.

Thanks again!

FWIW, here's the sheet out of the 67 chassis repair manual.  Put it with the 69 spec sheet and maybe they'll have a baby    The specs for turning front discs is found in Section 5, page 5-29 of the 67 manual.

I don't believe the '68 Chassis Service Manual has a section 5 in the specifications section.  My mint '68 Chassis Service Manual (copyright 1967) doesn't have it.  I checked my '69 Chassis Service Manual (copyright 1968) and it does have a section 5.  One thing I noticed is, if you look at Gary's photo of the '69 section 5 page (reply #14), you'll see Section 5 is in parentheses while none of the other sections are!  Why?

Paul,
I ordered my manuals from Helm in 1976 after purchase of my car.  It also is copyrighted 1968. Are you saying that your Section 5 in your spec section is not in parenthesis?  or it is?      Curiousity killed the cat you know..     but if it killed humans, I'd have been dead by age 12..

[1968RSZ28]

Gary, my service manual is the same as yours... (SECTION 5).  I just referenced your photo so other members could see what I was saying.  There must be a reason for the parentheses.

OK..       seems you have the same 'curiousity' affliction that I have..

[1968RSZ28]

Yup, it amazing we are both still alive!

Well, I'm glad you guys survived to share those brake specs!

Mine was in an old brown '50 Ford tudor (my dad's hunting/fishing car) that was parked against a shed over his boat..  I was just TOO curious not to push that little round chrome button while 'pretending' to drive it.. and I got more than I bargained for, both when the car jumped forward against one of the supports for the shed, and a second time when dad got home....

I have a chassis service manual (68) and it has section 5 (brakes).

Is your service manual dated?

I have a chassis service manual (68) and it has section 5 (brakes).

...a section 5 under Specifications?
Please post it....

No section 5 spec page in service manual specification section. Page 5-21 contains the information you're looking for.......0.060 is max.
