Re: How do I get at this bolt?

Why are you romoving it? just rebuild the wheel cylinder right there in the car. The parts are available and cheaper. The only reason to change it would be because it is pitted after honing it out.

Re: Ralph Nader at 1991 CORSA convention

After the speech, someone actually talked Nader in to sitting in the drivers seat of a early model convertible, I was 15 years old. Not sure if anyone was allowed to take a picture, but I'm sure someone out there got one.
