= Disc Brake Conversion =

I now have my brake pads.  I also have my stainless lines, which I had to change the tub nuts on to mate to my soft lines.  I also purchased my banjo bolts for $20... SHEESH!!  Here they are.

Here are my banjo bolts... for $20 a set they should be gold plated.

Here are some shots of my brakes after I have installed the brake pads, brake lines, and hardware.  I used Vaseline to lube up the locating pins to get them to slide in.

I sand blasted the master cylinder and painted it cast grey.  I also had to change a tube nut on the rear MC-to-diverter line.  Luckily I had one that fit (the ones that I had to swap off the wheel lines).  I was going to use the pushrod that came with new master cylinder, but after careful inspection, I found it was an inch longer than needed... so I had to swap them out.  The pushrod came out of the new one fairly easy.  I clamped the rod in the vise and tugged on the master cylinder...  POP!!  The old one... well... see for yourself...

Stress? Why no doctor, I don't have any stress.

Time to install and bleed! Almost done!!!!
