Thanks Adam :scratch:
Managed to sort 95% of the speedo's erratic behaviour Saturday. We'd been advised that the needle flapping around like a mad thing and making a few strange noises should be able to be cured by lubricating the cable rather than replacing it so (Stu) just about managed to disconnect the cable from the back of the speedo and extract the inner core to degrease it then lube it with vaseline. Cable went back ok and now the needle just has about 3-4mph fluctuation at steady speeds, at worst.

Took a few pics of the SSBC brakes and how they fit in the original 14" wheels (something that Master Power Brakes dont do - they only fit 15" wheels). Also how the new master cyl fits with the Mopar Perf heat shield above the MW exh manifold. Had to bend the shield up a bit to clear the manifold more. Dunno how vital it is, but bought the heat shield before we knew exactly how much clearance there'd be :roll:

Those SSBC brakes look a lot different to my ssbc set up.

hmmm.... maybe Adam :-k
We got ours from Performance Suspension Components http://www.performancesuspension.com/ and they list the Polara as a different Part # to the Charger.
On our SSBC parts list we got with the kit it says the kit is Assembly A156.
I know we've got Mustang calipers (that's what they're listed as on the parts list) - strange that they'll interchange with a Mustang but poss not a Charger :roll:

Just noticed the kit has gone up $113 in the last year :shock: :shock:
