Sixth week of restoration & inspection NEXT - inspect front brakes and fix electrical faults
Despite record high temperatures in Ottawa this week, I gradually finished
my work on the rear brakes, installed a new pair of emergency brake cables
then adjusted and bled the brakes. I can honestly say the rear brakes
are as good as they were 41 years ago. I was fortunate enough to contact
"Professor Volvo", aka Duncan last week and he digitized a 1960 Volvo 122-S
sales brochure. Below are the 14 original pages, which I guess I should
likewise thank AB Volvo!

Wednesday, August 8th: I cleaned the left brake components (leaking wheel cylinder), glass blasted the parts and painted the exposed parts. I decided not to remove the wheel bearings, despite the advice of many vintage Volvo owners. I would have had to replace the rear brake lines and this would lengthen the time to get the Amazon certified. My deadline is to have the car certified and ready for winter storage by mid-October. As planned, the emergency brake cables arrived on Friday from Volvo Village in Toronto.
Saturday, August 11th: I completed the left rear brake and realized the right rear had some inherent problems - backing plate bolts reversed, emergency brake bar incorrectly installed. So, I redid the right rear, centred the shoes and installed the drum. I adjusted the shoes, then reconnected the emergency brakes and adjusted the tension. Tomorrow, with the help of my wife Joan, we will bleed the rear brakes. Fortunately, the bleeding screw didn't sieze.
Sunday, August 12th: I reinstalled the rear wheels and moved
the car into my driveway. I reversed the car, so I can inspect the
front wheels and fix the outstanding electrical faults. I installed
the gold "L" and took some pictures. My shipment of parts from Vintage
Import Parts is expected to arrive within the next 2 weeks.
