rear brake adjuster covers

Mid 1970s through early 1980s Honda Civics and Accords

Mid 1970s through early 1980s Honda Civics and Accords ( maybe Honda Ballade and Triumph Acclaim? ) have a neat little rubber boot that covers their rear drum brake adjuster screws.
This boot fits perfectly over the MGB rear brake adjuster, and prevents dirt and rust from forming. They have the added advantage of being easily removable for those Concours events!

late-model Hyundai Excel

Don't want to pay for "furflex" factory type door weatherstripping? Go to a junk yard and look for Hyundai's. Cost--about $10 for enough to do a complete car, and if you get a late enough model, it will look just like new (without the furflex of course)!

Got a substitute, let us know by email or use the submit page.
