  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Theres no point to this thread. I just wanted to tell the world I got something accomplished on my car :rolleyes:

    I've managed to get a little further along on my brake upgrade.
    Its been an uphill climb. I enjoy tinkering on this ol' car, but sometimes it could be less of a pain in the rump....
    I didn't think it would be so hard to get a line set for a car without power brakes. Not that it wasn't hard to get the lines... I just wanted lines I didn't have to mangle to make them fit. Its been trial and error... mostly error.
    Next weekend is to plumb up the rear lines.
    Here's a pic.

    Pretty.

    I take it you are converting your single master cylinder to a dual?

    Yep, I had some leaky rear cylinders back when I was driving the car.. which seems so long ago now.. anyway, the old single chamber master cyl emptied out and I had no brakes. (fortunately I was still in the driveway when I found this out)
    I got to thinking this whole single master cylinder wasn't a good idea.
    Then again, *not* checking the fluid level or pulling the drums off to check for leaks ever, isn't that good of a plan either :laugh:
    I'm "turning over a new leaf" and doing my best to keep good brakes on all my cars. I don't want anymore of that brake pedal to the floor nonsense!

    While the engine is out I decided it was time for a brake upgrade. Dual master, stainless lines and discs up front. Theres going to be an adjustable proportioning valve behind the distribution block on the frame. I wanted it up by the master, but compromised with it down on the frame. I hope that thing doesn't take too much fiddling to get the bias right.
