What brand AN fittings are you using? im about to buy alot of them but aeroquip is more expensive than the summit brand, any thoughts? thanks !

lownfast · 11-11-2010, 12:07 AM

great job on the calipers i like them alot. what did you do with your brake booster? clean up the stock one and paint it or replace it? also do you have a part # for the master cylinder your using? i want to use the same set up in the blazer.

heres the m/c #. i went with a combination of an fittings... mostly summit. i like them a lot. no leaks or problems. as for the m/c i just bought a new one and had our painter do his thing with it.

mcbassin · 11-11-2010, 08:57 AM

**nlped** · 11-11-2010, 11:06 AM
