Several Questions on Installing Disc Brakes (Plumbing)
All.
I know Ive asked a lot of questions here lately on brakes. I've searched several threads both here, and the net in general. As you know we installed a 79 crossmember in her 61 to give us the disc brake set up. These are heavy duty discs (1 1/4) with 6 lug rotors. I have started plumbing the rear brakes (factory drums) and have the lines to a point in the front frame under the MC. The fronts I have plumbed from the right side to a 3/16 Tee or block to pick up the left, and the bull of the tee to supply the fronts. I plan on using a prop. valve, and mounting it near the MC. the rears are easy. its one line to the rear axle where is splits to each wheel. Doing research I see that some plumb the fronts as I started to using a tee. Others "homerun" from each caliper to the PV. Which is the proper way to do this? Ive looked at the FAQs and done some research. My plan is to run a 8 or 9 inch booster using Capt Fab's bracket, and a PV mounted near/under the MC. Any help is greatly appreciated. Glenn
