Thanks

[brewer bob]

Hi all,

Thanks for the advise recently.

In all my nosing around the web, I'm still unable to find a good
resource that differentiates between different models: Royale, Eleganza,
Eleganza II, Palm Beach, etc.

The fellow with the Royale seemed to think it was a step up from the
Eleganza, but that's difficult to verify. Does anyone have any old GMC
literature they'd be willing to part with?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,

Bob

Arch the original GMC part # for the brake hose (original equipment) is
GM9758214 and that crosses to a Wagner F86578 #$36.31, or NAPA 36675. Hope
this helps.

Arch,

Ray Curtis' price list shows a Part No. SP6514($43.71) for the left and
SP5766($48.12) for the right, but he doesn't say whose part numbers they
are. Give Ray a call. He stocks them and the price is reasonable
enough.

They're Car Quest part numbers(should have read to the last page before
posting). The article does say the metal ends must be bent to clear the
ball joints and you need two new "end bolts"(maybe the banjo bolts?), GM
14000404.

Arch:

Are you still in need of any part numbers????

Although my information is at home, I have a complete list of the parts
for the 80 mm calipers. Installed them in Mar 1995. Can e-mail info to
you tonight if needed.

Yes to the Alcoa's. No to any problems.
