Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Sunday Chris and I mapped out a plan for the interior. He is going to build a box to house the Ride Pro X processor and extra cables. We plan to add the optional height sensors when they become available. Until then we will leave all the excess harness intact.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
While Chris worked on stripping the interior we discussed supplies needed. We will run wires for the audio system now, but that won't happen till after Lonestar Throwdown.
Meanwhile I began the install of the Wilwood proportioning valve. I was told it could be mounted in place of the factory valve. It does line up with the existing holes, but that position does not allow for access to the adjustment knob.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
We don't normally sell them outside of the kit. If you are needing some, contact me direct and I will see what I can do for you.
We just don't want to make a habit of breaking down the kits and selling individual parts out of them if you know what I mean. 812-481-4737

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Despite the freezing cold that us Texans are no used to, progress continues. Fortunately my shop is well insulated, so we got a few things done. Chris laid out a plan for the Ride Pro X enclosure. Its going to allow us to hide the wires in a clean fashion. We plan to replace the fuses with push button circuit breakers so they are accessible in the event of failure.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I'm still trudging along on the Wilwood proportioning valve install. I decided it would be easier to bend new lines rather than modify the old lines. the replacement line is much softer and easy to bend. Unfortunately the state of Texas was closed yesterday and I couldnt get the fittings I need to finish up.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I know what you mean about Texas being closed. We started on Owen's truck and I ended up needing some parts we did not have. Both AutoZone and O'Reilly closed early due to weather yesterday. I was able to get all the parts I need before they closed. BUT, when I went to install the new bearings I just packed with grease, I discovered they sold me the wrong inner bearings for 1.25" thick rotors...dang it...

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I am guilty of participating in the Winter Weather hysteria as well. I closed my shop yesterday and told my guys to stay home. I called Oriellys and Auto Zone and they were closed. I found small things to do, but couldnt work on my brake lines.

http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/7...rtioning-valve I never knew why GM ran all those lines to the front,... just to have to route them to the rear. I think it would make a clean "stock appearing" option than bending all new lines. And if you did bend all new lines,... I would move the Prop valve to an "easy-to reach" spot on the drivers side frame rail under the cab. Just my thoughts,...

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
GM decided to create a bowl of spaghetti going to a non adjustable proportioning valve. I'm doing my best to clean the mess up and allow access to the adjustment knob on the Wilwood valve. Unfortunately Wilwood decided to put five 3/16 ports and that conflicts with the GM 1/4" line. Especially when the nifty bracket you built wont accommodate conversion fittings. I am close to wrapping it up if I can locate a union I need.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I worked late last night and my daughter came to visit so my shop time was limited. I took a break grime building brake lines and knocked out a quick mod that I had been putting off.
The cross brace at the rear of the bed needed to be trimmed to clear the top of the ViaAir compressors. I wanted to ensure I made a straight cut so I made a guide. With the square stock bolted in place the hub of my 4" grinder guided my cut.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Once the cut was made I dressed the edge with a flapper disc. I followed that with a few layers of under coating. Unfortunately my phone died so all I have are the after pics.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Saturday morning was wasted waiting for an AT&T tech to repair my WiFi. Once that was done I had to buy a hot water heater. Late afternoon, Chris came by and I finally got some progress.
Mike Losh brought a set of his mild Slosh Tubz to C10s in the Park. I picked them up at the show, but didnt get a template showing where to cut. I looked at old pics and made my best guess. I chose to follow below a line on the inner fender to maintain structural integrity. The cut was a bit bigger than necessary, but its symetrical and still strong.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
With the cuts made and cleaned up, we were able to slide the Mild Tubz in place. The passenger side fit well. I decided to do a little trimming on the bottom corner to make it easier to get out.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Marking the holes is the most tedious part of the install. I prefer to locate those at the front first. They can be marked from the top, while you hold the liner In place.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
With the front done we slowly worked our way to the back. It helps if you use longer bolts until the process is complete. This allows you to start a bolt and make the next mark for drilling.
Once all the holes were drilled, we checked for clearance concerns. Everything fits as designed.
