Full size Olds brake/speedo problem
Scarebird sells a fs brake kit but I'm not sure it can handle the speedo take off on the front hub.
Has anyone used the kit that also has the speedo working?

The speedo is driven off the dust cap on the front hub. This part is retained, as is the original spindle with the through hole for the cable. There should be no issue.

Thanks Joe for the info. I'm putting on some wheels that require using spacers and the new wheels push on the edge of the dust cap on the PS, but if I remove the cap to test clearance, everything is OK.
I guess I need to test the DS and find smaller cap for the PS (hopefully the different size DS will clear),
Car pulls left then right and so on. Stock drum brakes are driving me nuts to adjust, so I've got to go disc or at least totally rebuild the drums.

Since you hijacked someone else's thread, we have no idea what year full size you are talking about. Obviously if you are talking about the left front spindle on a 65-70 full size, a cotter pin can't be used since that would interfere with the speedo cable. These cars have a retaining ring that snaps onto the end of the spindle to lock the nut in place. Didn't you take it apart in the first place?

I did take it apart and it had nothing on it. sorry about hijacking a thread 2 months dead and related to the left side speedo hub. I use that search tool as much as i can to answer things about this basket case 66 starfire that fights me every step of the way.
So what type of retaining ring is it?

And sorry for the previous post. I was unjustifiably harsh. I apologize.
