Re: Project Picacho

Brakes are still winning!!!!!!

Back two hoses going into the calipers continue to have moisture - i have changed out crush washers etc... not sure but it is driving me nutz!

I think I am making some headway up front. I wanted to stay withe origianl master cylinder look - but since it was a smaller master (it was a two chamber) it needed to be switched out. So I had a 71-72 master cylinder that I am going to try!

I called McGaughy's and talked to them about the proportioning valve - they said I didn't need one????? That would look good, but after a bit more research, i believe that it does. So i picked up a CPP disc/disc valve.

I have some tubing i've got to get straightened out and I will give it all a try!

If anyone has done the Mcgaughy's set up and has experience with this I am all ears. Thanks
