    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    yeah, I pretty sure these are the same as the M715. They are Safety Split rings, meaning less chance of blowout Vs traditional split rims. the tire bead actually goes over part of the ring and when the ring is seated in the rim, it really has no where to go. Still dangerous though at first...

    ok so probably the same as mine, although my pads weren't too bad, measuring you could tell the difference hard to see. my guess is a PO didn't know correct adjustment only adjusted top, thus making it narrow along the top/middle, fat at the bottom. as we adjust the bottom then go to the...

    I actually have a M35 Gasser, so I have that style as well, was curious how you solved for if I need to do the same. I may try to adapt the new style switch if possible(or needed)

    Ha, don't worry, I was about to ask how to pull the dipstick, I spent 15 minutes tugging at it, twisting it, and nothing would happen. sat and looked at it, then realized...Lefty loosey...
