This thread being so long, I don't remember if I showed you guys this.
Way back when, I made this brake bar and never felt quite out of the woods or should I say, to keep from runnin' into the woods because of no support on the brake pad itself other than the duke welds.
Though it has served many years without any problems, I figured why not at this moment to make the additional gussets to support the pad from behind in case of an emergency pedal push.
It shaved 2 Lbs IIRC

The secret factory memos for the 64' 2% AFX cars called for these as well as many other small parts. If they made it to those cars it's any ones guess, but one surely made it to mine.

Funny, I was thinking (before the CIA made me abide to the Freedom of information act) of all the tricks that I applied way back when the car was being naughty. I look now and laugh on how many heads, Mopar heads included, that never saw or suspected the stuff. LOL.
