Hello folks,
Has it been a ghost town here. I know I have been busy with live and other things going on in this world of ours. Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy. I have not done much sad to say with my Metro. She still runs and starts up like a champ. The hubby cleaned and replaced the brake pads, spring kit and wheel cylinders in the front only. I purchased a nice expensive brake flaring kit. We bent a few lines .... where are they.. hanging in the garage. We need spring kits for the back and I believe the hubby could not find pads for the back so we make keep the hardware and get them re-padded if that makes sense. Winter is upon us and well still not brake lines. A lil sad but oh well. Work, family and life gets in the way ha... you have to go with the flow. At this point I wish I could just pay someone to come and rebuild the brake and be done with it. Even that would be a chore to find...probably. Let me see if I can upload any pics. Nikki sent me an email asking how things were going so I took time out to jump on here to make a post.

Exciting stuff. Approximately where do you live? I am in the Vancouver, BC area.

Not a big deal, but, the brake linings are called shoes. Pads are for disc brakes. Now you know and the NAPA guy will not give your that funny look.

Do not remember is your drums 5 bolt or 6 bolt? There is a place that can reline your drums if 6 bolt and he does shoes also. If 5 bolt, drums and shoes should be available.

Hi Nikki,
I should know these things ha... I mean I did change my brake pads on my 01 vette... still a rookie and forget to use the proper terminology... If I think first and then type I usually can get it right. LOL... I am Colorado.

Mr. Admin I have 5 bolts on my drum... thanks for the info. always good to have that extra source.
