What is the difference between a pre-1975 and 1975 Opel hub? Here is a picture of my current hub/rotor. I'm wondering if this is the stock setup for a 1972 GT or possibly it has already been upgraded to the 1975 Manta hub and bigger brakes.

Thanks,
Bob

The hardest part is getting the pistons out. First off, DON NOT split the calipers. There's no need to and...

    The facts: Old cable was frayed and required replacing The old cable really needed to be adjusted as the emergency brake was not working very well at all - did not really engage until almost all the way up - would hold the car in place in a parking situation but that's about all New cable...

    I have been reading about the rebuilding of the brake calipers and wanted to get some opinions based on the information below. During the beginning of my restoration back in the late 90's I know that I replaced the rubber seals around the outside of the caliper pistons, if memory serves on both...
