ok i figured out the scraping problem, in lowering the car the handbrake cable is now resting against the leaf spring braket and is not completely coming off. or working at all.

i figure i should move the braket but have no idea where to put it... would it be ok to just remove it from the clip so it has free movement?

cheers

THANKYOU
to fastjbav6 for coming over and fixing my brakes :D :D

he also helped me realize that the scraping were the seatbelt bolts scraping on the tail shaft - that was my next guess of what the scraping noise was :?

......


Well really I would have pulled the hole car apart then realized that was the problem so thankyou!!!!
