Do they still use the Ready Kilowatt character? I figured they would have dropped him for a more 'hip' guy for the Millenials.

He's still out and about.

so this could explain the soft 2018 Honda CR-V brake pedal

[doowopper]

My understanding is that brake fluid is hygroscopic so perhaps that vehicle had been in a flood or sumpin.

All the blasting and coating you do makes me want to get a cabinet and an old oven. Blasting and powder is something you can do all winter without worrying if your shop is warm enough to paint in. Or maybe move in next door to you =)

ha ha, it will change your life, but it is not a cheap sport, I would say minimum $2k to enter the arena, and yes guys will argue that till they are blue in the face, but I've done this for months so I know what I am talking about, lol

anyway I keep my media blasting cabinet outside so in my case media blasting is not an all year round sport as the media gets moist/wet

as far as oven advice see if you can land a larger commercial pizza oven or one of them stackable double deckers that you can start off by using just one half and then join them together to bake longer items

as far as moving next door, two words for you: H.O.A.

the good news is the new used $80 dollar Honda CR-V master cylinder showed up last night and appears to be much more better

[biketopia]

I'm still curious to see if you'll have enough bore and stroke to operate the C-10 brakes effectively

yeah, me too, my friend Patrick, our friend Patrick inputed all the measurements and lengths of both the Honda CRV and the C10 into his wrist watch calculator and it spit out that the stroke or piston travel is almost identical, it was identical to the thousandths of an inch

The amount that the piston moves compared to the amount the pedal foot pad moves is the same between the Chevy and Honda brake pedal assemblies. We haven't measured the stroke or bore of the Honda master cylinder yet. It would be good to measure the stroke and bore of both the Honda and Chevy master cylinders for comparison.

got some numbers:

SOME HONDA CRV MASTER CYLINDER SPECS

the 2018(ish) Honda CRV master brake cylinder piston is 1" in diameter (aka bore) and travels 1.5" (aka stroke) in and out of the tube thingie

[Gregski]

meanwhile on this Two Steps Forward One Step Back update, we afixed the new used Honda CR-V master cylinder to the BOSCH iBooster and attempted to bench bleed it on the truck

so here's the general idea and you is supposed to do this in a vice, with American style master cylinders, anyway that's where that clear line red fitting kit is from

[Gregski]

so learned that it's best to reroute the front brake lines to the front of the crossmember when you pull of a disc brake conversion so spent a few evening fandangling with that

nothing like cutting up brand new parts straight away

[Gregski]

and the other side

I did add rubber gromets in them through frame holes

Stopping power!

[Steeveedee]

That's a mighty tight bend in that hose. Is the spindle at the end of turn travel?

I hear you Steeveedee and was thinking of swapping for the C20 hosers but word on the street is they might be the same length

[Gregski]

so I had to scroll up in my own thread way up to post #72 to see what radiator I had and as it turns out it is a generic aftermarket Spectra Premium part #CU369 one that fits the truck but is not specifically for this truck, so it doesn't quite fit on the bottom, it is too thick if you will, being 2 core and all

so I done did some research and learned that a Squarebody aka 1973 and up single core will fit perfectly and the reason I tell you this is that it can be had for half the price of an exact specific 67-72 one

Murray Radiator part # 433161 $200 bones and you can get one like it for $120 on Rock Auto I just didn't have the patience to wait on it to arrive so I went to Oh' Really s

[zicc1835]

Good info TY

[Gregski]

so now we have reached the plumbing, heater hose size, coupler, adapter, reducer hell portion of the build, you see we in America like to design our radiators with the largest inlets and outlets known to men and women, and the electrical components (inverters, dc-dc converters, chargers, water pumpulators, and transmissionisters) all like to use small ones, more on this later

essentially what we face is that we can no longer plumb with radiator hoses ( yes 1-3/4" or 1-1/2 or my personal favorite 1-5/16" that's a nice and even 33 millimeter for you non Standardizer type) but instead must plumb with heater core hoses ( 3/4" and or 5/8" )
