Right Stuff brake lines

Re: Right Stuff brake lines
 
what do you need pictures of? brake line routing? what type of conversion did you do (switch front crossmembers) , or replace rotors etc.

The front lines on the 71-72 go on the front of the cradle as the drum lines go on the rear. You will need to fabricate a bracket where the hardline attaches to the hose. You can cut off the bracket on the rear and bend and drill a hole in the bracket and cradle to mount. You will need to route the lines first, then determine where the bracket needs to be mounted. You can see a little from these pictures.

The rear goes in the back of the Prop valve and the other line goes underneath. I had to shrink the file to get it to upload so it is a little harder to see. This is a 69 with 71-72 brakes. The pictures I sent you were from my 72 w/19K original miles.

I will see if I have some of the bracket mounting shots for you.

John H., I know this is an old thread, but your pictures are incredibly helpful for what I'm doing today. I appreciate your taking the time to take and share the pics.

John is a good guy. It's nice to see a fellow member go out of their way to thank another for being helpful. We could use more of that here.

Those are known as brake "hoses".

* Lines = metal (rigid)

* Hose = rubber (or other flexible material)
