So I finally replaced my old Treadle vac booster on my bel air (diaphragm was shot) with a new double diaphragm one that can be used with disk brakes. I am planning to run my old drum setup for a little while till I can afford front disks. My question is this. Since my old setup only had a single master cylinder, it only has one hydraulic line that runs to a 4 way T connector just under the drivers seat, which then takes one line to the back two drums. I am having a HELL of a time trying to find fittings which will work with my OEM connectors. Has anyone done this before and used all the old piping and fittings? Or would you all recommend that I just totally gut the piping and get all new tubing and fittings? The lazy man in me wants to just plug one of the outlets on the 4 way tee and just make two lines from there going into the new dual line cylinder. Thanks in advance..
Might as well break out the bender and flair tools. You're going to have to split up the front and rear when you do the discs anyway. Also would be a good time to plumb in a prop valve.
