Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks guys, it will be epic!
![]() In addition to good food and great people we now have planned: Torch, MIG and TIG welding, take turns practicing with some talented folks. Brake plumbing and trying out various benders and flaring tools on nickel copper, steel and stainless steel. Trying out push lock hose fittings on the Cool Tools press and a home made press. Of course finishing the wiring, running the fuel lines and starting the LS, getting the Wilwood brakes and lines installed. Maybe air ride stuff too. We will all learn from each other. No ego’s here...!

A few posts ago we were kicking around the connection to the brake caliper. While I have concerns about where the NPT 90 will point once tightened, this most likely be a better way to go. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
And we will have options...just in case we need to plumb a 32 wheeled vehicle.
![]() I’ve never used the nickel copper so we have that, plus steel and stainless steel 3/16 tube to play with for comparison purposes. |

That is interesting! I’ve never seen one before and is an option if needed.

Doug — I’m really looking forward to the event! I was in SoCal a couple days this week enjoying great weather, then came home to Colorado for cold and snow. Heading to northern Virginia tomorrow - cold and snow! Then Friday morning a quick flight to Indy and some weenie rental car to head your way for more cold and snow. No escaping it apparently! I just have to figure out how to pack everything - slacks, sport coat, winter and garage clothes, and maybe my welding helmet. Not sure my carry-on bag will do the trick! One way or another I’ll be there. Fire that garage heater up! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks, gotta give my friend Jeff credit for the design. Thinking I maybe should have got more than 50 of them...
This will be one of the small raffle prizes. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
After 35 years with GM, I have elected to retire and I am hanging up my name badges.
Now I will have time to really focus on projects and perhaps improve my skills in the shop. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I love the copper nickel brake line, easy to work with and doesn't rust. Very affordable. You can get it online for dirt cheap. Some local parts store carry it around me also.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I dont know...there's just something about npt on brake fittings that doesn't seem right....working in industry I've seen more than my share of broken npt fittings...even with the banjo npt ...
Hard to believe Wilwood uses that...

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I feel same about NPT ...these parts will get us there for bending, flaring and layout. Can always change the connection before final assembly.

Get a few more parts and some paint on the engine and this will be looking decent.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I have the second option you are showing on my Willwoods. 3 years 18,000mi no problems.
Organizing parts and how things will get put together is 3/4 of building the truck, you have been busy.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks 99, there will still be plenty to do! And we’ve added in some wiring and crimping, as well as brake line forming seminars. Should be fun.
