The seller was pe-motorwerks: http://www.ebaystores.com/precisioneuropeanmotorwerks I recall mention of not working on 2WD Blazers on some but not sure the reason. Possibly adding a spacer may apply more torque than designed on a 2WD blazer sealed bearing vs. the 4WD which has an axle that bolts through them. The ones I bought bolted up just fine. |

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
Hey Hussey,
I'm going the same route you did with the blazer big brake conversion. I just have a question. About the lines. Did you use an s10 flex hose and hard lines or do you need to use the blazer hoses and modify blazer steel lines? |

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
I cant speak for hussey, buut I have done it both ways, changed hardlines and rubber lines (to the caliper) to blazer style, and used the s10 style on the blazer brakes. the banjo bolt for the caliper is the same size between blazer and s10. the s10 hardline where it joins the rubber line at the frame bracket has a different size, so its one or the other, you cant use a blazer rubber line on an s10 hardline, but the s10 rubber line will fit the blazer caliper.

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
I installed new Blazer flex lines from the frame to the calipers. My hard lines were pretty crusty so I ran new hard lines from the master cylinder to the each wheel.

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
I bent and flared my own. You can pick up an line bender and a flaring kit without investing too much.

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
So if I bought S10 flex hose and brake line kit would work? I'm just looking for as easy as possible. Thanks for the information Hussey. I'm following your build as close as possible.

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
I can only speak for what I did which was Blazer rubber lines and Blazer brackets and bet to fit new lines. Joedoe gave a good description above, I'd follow his if you want to do something different.

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
Did you happen to put together a parking brake assembly? If so what lines did you use off the upgraded rear end. I cant find cables short enough for the s10 frame

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
hey 52ratrod, you can also get park brake cables custom made. try Greenline hose if you have one nearby. there is one in Calgary. they also make brake hoses with whatever end you need.

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
Radiator and core supports should be centered between the frame rails. What made yours "shift" left? Were you trying to line some other body part up to the core support?

From the outside of the frame rails to the center of the radiator / Core support im pretty centered, . . . but looking straight on at the radiator it doesn't look centered because the frame rails are not the same with per side ( so it looks like off to one side ) Does that make sense ? I will throw a Tram gauge on it once it have it a bit more squared up I've added a ****ty drawing ![]() |

Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis
If your fenders are straight, double check the measurement from the fender lip to the tire or other reference point. If I recall, I simply checked how many fingers fit between the fender and the tire, shifted it a little, stood back and looked at it a while, and decided it was good. You'll also want to verify final placement with the hood on and closed.

Thank you for helping me with this !!! much appreciated I spent a few hours yesterday loosening the fenders, hood, inner hood hinges, removing the hood springs ( which throw everything completely off ) Once i got the hood lined up, i added the fenders with the radiator support, . . . .. tried to add the grill, but need to trim the frame back a bit more Got some pretty good lines, gonna make radiator support this week , will make sure i have adjustment in height, side and forward/backward |
