Ive never heard that the brake calipers bolts are one use. They are plenty beefy for the application.

Tom, I have used the red but never had the experience of having had too come back and "undo" it. I was thinking of using it on that little center bolt on the early vacuum pump diaphragm for example. (very little torque required). Any insight?

I just use red because my favorite machinist said it was the one to use. I know there is one that is for when you NEVER want to take it apart and another which is less strong than red.
As far as the vac pump, I have no recommendation. I just don't know if it is a good application or not. Tom W

I should add here that I called them and they told me to put instruction in the shipping for the order regarding my specific needs. It sounds to me that you need an 85 cable. Either way I just specified what I needed and the shipping guys will verify it before reshipping from their other warehouses.

I saw it...just fixing my SS and wife's wagon from the break-ins 2 weeks ago. I'm pulling the 240D apart today and checking to make sure I've gotten everything. Would hate to miss something and have to try to track down the necessary parts.
Newb here too, but not to cars. I coverted my '96 Impala SS to a T56 6-speed, and my wife's '94 Caprice Wagon is also converted to a 6-speed.

I have a question about the neutral safety switch. Off my donor 240D manual, the pedal assembly has both switches on the brake and clutch. My initial thought was the clutch switch was the "safety switch," like many manuals you need to press the clutch to start the car. However the switch doesn't work for the neutral safety wires (violet and violet/white) on my '80 300CD auto, which need to be "closed" to start.
So my question is what is the clutch switch for, the cruise control system? Did manual cars have a clutch safety switch? I could just connect the two neutral safety wires, but I like the clutch safety feature if possible. |

Does your doner car have cruise control? I would think that is what it is
for. I don`t think the 240 came with a safety start switch for the clutch. Charlie

I don't remember, but the pigtail for the clutch switch was piggybacked to the brake switch...
