Mental "brake" down
Been battling the dreaded brake lines this weekend. I have a 67 that was drum/drum therefore the tab is on the back of the crossmember. I bought a 9" vacuum booster/MC combo with proportioning valve. Also bought stainless steel flex lines to go from the tabs to the calipers/rear axle. The fittings that go from the harlines to the stainless are 7/16" x -4 AN.
So after ruining several pieces of hard line this weekend I am now asking for suggestions. This is not my first rodeo but man what a pita. None of the stock lines were in place as I knew I was converting. I was able to bend the driver side pretty easy but then when I was going to do the passenger side I was having SOOO much trouble getting the bends to work with the stock clips (rear of crossmember). Decided to route it like they are on 73-87 however my tubing bender decided to kink the 1/4" line... I have never used pre bents but this was the last straw. So is there a kit out there for this type of conversion? Anyone have any other ideas that I am just not thinking about? Thanks in advance. |
