Hey Studies, I have a 47 M-5 that has a '62 Lark 259 V8. Front backing plates & brakes adapted I believe are Stude. The brakes are self adjusting, two thin wires for adjusting mech instead of cable. Are these '62 brakes? I read Stude did not have self adj. brakes till '63. Did some '62 have self adj? The block # say motor is '62.

If your brakes have the lever riding on a fine toothed Starwheel with the wires attached, it must be from a '63 or newer and if your Engine number falls within the '62 engine number range then it is from a '62.
I don't know of any Studes. that used CABLES to adjust the brakes! [:0]
