inline tube, problems with disc brake conversion... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tommie · 07-16-2003, 06:32 PM

was tring to put brake lines on my truck today, (70 chevy, 1/2 ton swb, coil spring)

i bought a set from inline tube, a manual disc brake line conversion set, and the bracket for the proportioning valve.

i had already put the long line under the frame back to the rear hose, and put the lines on that are for the front calipers,

i went and got a master cylinder for a 71 with disc. and bought a new proportioning valve for a 71 with disc today also.

anyhow, the 2 lines going to the proportioning valve from the master cyl, and the 2 that exit from it, i can't figure out how they route.

the kit moves the proportioning valve from the stock location, and moves it directly under the master cylinder at an angle, the lines just don't seem right.

anyone else use this kit?
anyone have any pictures?
i tried to call technical support at inline tube but they are already closed for today.

any help would be nice.

thanks
tommie

Is this the set-up you were looking for???

tommie · 07-16-2003, 06:46 PM

no, its not that one.

the lines that come out of the mastercyliner, look like a "U"

which puts the proportioning valve sideways under the master cylinder,

and i have the power brake delete option.....

ok, i figured it out.

i would of took pics, but the wife left the dig camera at her mom's
(just my luck)

anyway, this kit puts the proportioning valve directly under the master cylinder and lays it sideways.

i went back to inline tube and found this pic to help me out.

if you look at the pic, mine is the setup on the far left.

i didn't know that the 2 lines from the master cylinder crossed!!!

once i did this, no problem.

kind of looks cool once it is done, because of the way it tucks and hides the proportioning valve under the mastercylinder.

thanks frenchblue for tring to help

I had the same problem,the instructions for this kit sux most of it is guess work but I figured it out after a while,I thought they had sent me the wrong kit .

tommie · 07-16-2003, 09:06 PM

thats it mr goodwrench!!

took me a while to figure it out.
i thought they sent the wrong kit also.
couldn't figure it out untill i started looking at pics on their website, like the one i had above.

never thought of crossing the lines that they had in the kit....

MR. GOODWRENCH · 07-16-2003, 09:13 PM

let me know if everything works out alright on the lines,this is a off the frame restoration so it will be a while before I bleed mine,if their is a problem,I guess I will be in the same boat.
