I need to see a picture of the front fender brace installed. I’ve scratched my head and stared at it long enough. Thanks. Sent from my iPad...
I’ll get one and try it. Thanks.
I’ll check that. Thanks.
I kept the piece I cut out so it will be easy to find out.
I have some brakes so it’s some good, I guess. At some point I’ll switch it out if need be.
I’ve been rethinking the rear discs, too lately! I knew I didn’t need them, I just wanted them. I’ve talked to Wilwood and they say my 1”...
They don’t pump up at all. I can push it to the floor.
That all sounds reasonable but if the brakes were pressure bled is it applicable? If the air were really out of the system from pressure bleeding...
No change. I’ll bleed them again to see if the increased stroke changes anything. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I’ve shortened the bullet that slides in to the MC by what I believe is the appropriate amount. So, if my yardsticks, rulers, verniers, depth...
What I believe is happening and what I’m trying to describe is I think the pin is out to the point the master cylinder never returns all the way...
Yes, it was bench bled. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
My pedal ratio is 5.33 with booster. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Regarding #1, I have the 1/4” free play. As for #2, instead of .020-.030” clearance I have .149” interference so I need to screw the pin in .169”...
[ATTACH] Thanks for everyone’s comments. I do appreciate the H.A.M.B. braintrust. I changed my avatar to the all go and no whoa truck. I just...
I will be checking the push rod length. I haven’t driven the truck yet but there is enough braking that I can’t turn the wheels by hand but that...
Good stuff! Thank you. I will check this out.
I was told my MC was bi-braketual, that it would go either way. Thanks for the picture, I now know what to look for.
I was tempted by these but didn’t use them. Good info for the future.
I’ll check. What should it be?
They’re vertical and I’ve bled both sides of the caliper. [IMG] Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
No, drum brake in the rotor. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I shortened it inside the cab. I still have 4 inches of travel till it hits the floor. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not that serious but close, I suppose. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
All of the bleeders are at the highest point and I’ve whacked on them while bleeding. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The push rod isn’t adjustable unless shims are a possibility. The MC is 1” and should be adequate from what I’ve read. Maybe it isn’t. Sent...
They’re in there correctly. They seem to hold some pressure at the caliper based on what little brake actuation I’ve gotten. Sent from my iPad...
I have bench bled the MC, twice just to be certain. I have residual valves front and rear. Braided stainless to all four wheels, 3/16. Pedal...
‘40 Ford pickup with TCI front end, GM discs on the front and Wilwood discs on the back. The master cylinder (1 inch GM if I recall correctly) at...
I read about Bill here on the HAMB and figured I would give him a call even though I thought it would be unlikely a SoCal to Idaho move would fit...
