Looking good! Heck with as small as those brakes look I bet you will be able to change pads with out removing the rim

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
FF, maybe I missed it, but how are you connecting the caliper to the brake lines? Is it a rubber line or a hard line? Thanks,

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Thanks, I was just making sure. All my other cars that had rear discs used a rubber line to go from the caliper to the axle. Since it uses a hard line, I'm assuming that part of the caliper doesn't move.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
From that picture, that part of the caliper does move. I'd recommend getting some rubber or braided hose in there. It's a very small movement and might be ok, but you'd hate to work harden the steel and get a crack...

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Michael,
I'm good but there are about 50 pics on the first page alone. Maybe your browser is timing out? Maybe a Ctrl/F5 will help or clear your temp files and try again. Dunno. Might be worth a try.

Let's see, are you the one with the orange sweat shirt and matching hair?
I pictured you looking a bit older than that.

BAM! I just checked the profile, and I was right! I'm guessing you were jamming to Primus in high school too!

What about factory Imp SS, Caddilac or f-body flex lines (78~81 trans-am)?

I gave been following your build for some time, so of course, i must say absolutely AWESOME work.
and, a side note. Primus still rocks, Les Claypool is a bass God, and there are just too many puppies. -Sam.
