Re: Disk brake conversion

I'll try to get my son to post some pics this weekend.

Thanks for the advice about the power brake pedal. I hadn't even thought about it, but it makes perfect sense.

I have a new question. I want to replace all of the brake lines on the truck. I was thinking of using stainless steel, but the research I've done so far says the flare has to be 37 degrees instead of 45. Will this work with my present master cylinder, p-valve, and wheel cylinders? i don't want to spend the money and then find out they won't work with my existing set-up. Also, my neighbor is a mechanic, he says I may have to "curl" (make them look like a Slinky) the lines for the front brakes in order to balance out the length of the rear brake lines. I've never heard of this before. But I have seen lines that have 2 or 3 curls in them after coming out of the m/c before running on to the front brakes. I just want to make sure I do it right the first time.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the advice.
