Because this conversation conversation came up on FB I was looking at what Wilwood has. I'm not really a fan of modifying braking systems, and don't really think it's necessary on my Cavalier, but Wilwood has front disks brakes that bolt on, are designed to use the factory master cylinder, and will maintain front to rear brake bias. Not on my to do list, but it's interesting.

It's been 10 months since I painted the plastic base of my arm rests in hopes of preventing the white growth. (Still not 100% sure what exactly it was.) Good news, none has returned, whereas before it would start to appear, along with the putrid smell, after only a few weeks of cleaning it off. Fingers crossed this is will be a permanent fix, and it will not appear again after a few years. This doesn't seem to happen to all Packards of this era, but I have talked to a few people that had this same issue.

Thank you! Like most of my Packard projects, it takes me an outrageous amount of time, but it's fun.

Olsen's is going to send a few samples of materials that they have in stock. I had also wondered if a silicon, or silicon/rubber, product would work well?

Does someone have a gasket they can measure the thickness of?
I'm sure I saved my old ones, because I save everything, but now I can't find them.
