Hyd brakes 29AA restorod

Post by Radar »

Just finished plumbing up the brakes on my truck and I thought that some of you guys might be intersted in seeing how I put my system together. Now that it can stop the next piece of the puzzle is to make it go. If I dig around the garage I might find somethig that can make that happen! Radar

Yep Dave your right its a adjustible proportioning valve with a brake light switch made by Wilwood. With 4wl discs its amost required to set the front rear brake bias since there isn't any modern vechile with comparable weight and brake bias. Radar

Chris, I really can't answer that because I put all the parts together from different places. The purple valve in the line is a 2psi residual valve . When the master cyl is lower than the calipers the fluid will drain back resulting in no brakes on the first hit. Building this truck is a blast since there is no store bought kits for anything on the chassis, it's a design-build project. Thanks for all the compliments. Now where is that stinking engine?????
