That sounds like a deal, are you any good at electrical work

**jaros44sr** · 02-14-2009, 10:52 AM

OUCH! 175.00 for the booster, 75.00 for the M/C, original and new at NAPA

msgross · 02-14-2009, 01:05 PM

I bought a booster/MC kit from autozone for $100 or so...

**jaros44sr** · 02-14-2009, 10:25 PM

Thanks for the info, Mike. I'll check them out tomorrow

**jaros44sr** · 02-15-2009, 11:58 AM

Got the price down to 40.00 at advanced auto on the M/C, part w/b in tomorrow, we'll see if it's rite...

Chevyman63 · 02-15-2009, 01:12 PM

Good news. Hope it works out.

I'll remember that for future reference.

Thanks just found another one locally, 32.00

**jaros44sr** · 02-19-2009, 12:21 PM

Inline tube order will arrive in a couple days, pics to follow...

**jaros44sr** · 02-20-2009, 01:44 PM

Prep. work before parts get here...1 coat of a rust preventer, 2 coats of Eastwoods stainless steel coating

SS brake lines for the front, with a new proportion valve coming tomorrow

Dropped off fenders at Maaco...flat white

**jaros44sr** · 02-21-2009, 11:56 PM

msgross · 02-21-2009, 11:59 PM

where did the prop valve come from? I need one too...

msgross · 02-22-2009, 12:00 AM

did you paint the inside of the MC? won't brake fluid eat that off?

Got the prop valve from Inline tube, will let ya know if it is correct on Mon, mine had some rusty fluid inside, but should work if ya need it...65 for the valve from Inline

The reservoirs are not coated on the inside, but I have had good luck with their coating over the years. Don't think anything will hold up if soaked in brake fluid, but an occasional spill on it doesn't seem to affect it

70rs/ss · 02-23-2009, 05:36 PM

FYI and way late, but the booster/mc combined are cheaper than seperately?? I bought a 3/4 ton dual diaphram booster and master {helps with the "hard" pedal most of us 4X4 guys get} for like $130 ready to bolt on at Autozone, and my NAPA price matches to Autozone, and or Checker, for a second FYI?? I hope it helps, but you already have your parts, so sorry for the day late help?! Looks good!

msgross · 02-23-2009, 05:48 PM

yeah, I think I paid $10 more for the booster/mc combo than the booster alone...

70 Suburban · 02-23-2009, 07:56 PM

you are missing a brace from the left stud down to where the steering colomn plate.

Thanks guys for the FYI, I noticed that when I bought the M/C, but eventually I will be goin' 3/4 ton. I have the system in the parts pile. Soooo, with that being said, I spent 32.00 on the rebuilt M/C...kit was 20.00, Maybe tomorrow the parts from Inline Tube will be here.

Thanks 70 Suburban for the heads up, I left the nuts on the studs loose to remind me something goes there...Post #879 shows this

These posts are whats great about this board...Like working under a microscope and 60,000 people lookin' thru the view finder, and I'm the petrie dish

Got my parts from JC and Tynee, Thanks Guys your the best. Also got a great lead on seat brackets for my utility buckets, more to follow

**jaros44sr** · 02-26-2009, 03:34 PM

Well, apparently my In Line Tube order has been floating around Pa. between Lewisburg and Bethlehem for a week, wrong zip code. That's fixed, s/b here fri...

Placed an order for my front headlite harness from M&H, mods to include...Hi and Low beam relays, Alt. pass. side w/ SI hook up. I have to send my engine harness back so the can add a 12 volt source to it. Asked about why they use a pink wire instead of red, it turns out that pink indicates a keyed source as opposed to red which is a constant source of 12 volts, learn something new everyday

**jaros44sr** · 03-04-2009, 06:56 PM

Parts from Inline tube finally arrived after floating around Pa. for a week...nice fit and correct prop. valve. Still have to finish up lower SS hard lines

msgross · 03-04-2009, 08:41 PM

cool... I need some inline tube myself... that didn't sound gay did it?

I bought a truck today... wife gave it 60 days to be gone!

We all know you're strait, so it doesn't matter

Sounds like my wife...60 days is more than she would give me, looks like a deal

Thanks Tim, I keep going backwards, I'm supposed to be working on the motor. M&H should be sending my harnesses back next week. Maaco called me today, fenders are done, first time they stayed tacky so he had to redo them

Nice, glad to see someone moving forward...
