Extremely knowledgeable people with excellent brakes. Dad always said "you can buy a 5 dollar pair of shoes but that doesn't mean that they will be worth a dang".
Oh wow i thought I was the only one. I will be ordering this. I have the kit and have never been happy with my modifications to lines to make it work. I will be buying this
thank you for a great informative video! I actually purchased a disk brake conversion kit for ‘63 Nova in the late eighties. I think the tech that assisted me back then was named Carmen thanx again
never took my axles out cut a slot in the backing plate with a plasma cutter and it slid right in makes things a lot easier if you need to completely disassemble
interesting about your comment that the proportioning valve never to be in the front - Wilwood explicitly told me to have mine in the front brakes of my drag car due to the skinny tires up front and the need to have the rear brakes do more work in this instance.
In race situations there are some exceptions. In most instances you never want to limit the pressure to the front wheels with a prop valve. The better way to do this would be with a bias setup or balance bar controlling how much pressure goes to the front or rear wheels. Hope this helps.
NICE I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUY'S MASTER PRO I HAVE 96 TOYOTA T100 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAN U TELL ME A LITTLE MORE I REALLY WANT TO CHANGE FROM DRUM TO DIS CAN SOME ONE HELP ME OUT RAMBO
You are correct, this set up has no emergency brake. There needs to be either a mini drum brake inside the rotor or they make them clamp the outside caliper. This set up is missing both of those.
I'm looking to change a toyota corolla LE 1.8 lter 2012 is this possible and what would the cost of this endeavor be could you do a video on this I would really appreciate any insight you may have for this procedure thank you again for all the great tips you provide for us keep up the great work.....
I had this installed on a rig with a chevy 350. A year later and now the hole in the coupling going to the rear brakes is leaking brake fluid.. What is this hole for and can it be plugged?
Question, when the low brake fluid sensor is removed, is there supposed to be any pressure or brake fluid in that chamber? I just did a proportion valve rebuild for an 84 Mustang. Different animal, but same function as the proportion valve requires a set screw to hold the internal piston from moving while bleeding brakes. But after my rebuild, my low fluid switch is leaking brake fluid through the top pins. Not the threads. Does that indicate the rebuild wasn't a success? Right now I have the set screw acting as a plug because I cant used the stock low fluid switch. It's possible that when the torched the lines to get them free, they damaged the plastic sensor, but just the same, I was under the impression there wasn't supposed to be fluid under the switch in the chamber where the sensors prong rests in the V groove.
My Haynes Manual says turn on the ignition and slowly depress the brake pedal and the valve will re center and the light will go out. People on the internet say they stuck a small sharp object down into the recess on the valve and were able to move it back to center. My front brake line broke, and the valve did not move enough to seal off the front brakes. It just kept shooting fluid out when I pressed the brake pedal, and the rear brakes didn't work either. Truck needs a new valve. What was your experience?
I have a combination valve from an 05 escalade that i want to use for a 1974 camaro, i plan to do the rear upgrade to disk. Would that combination valve work even though it came out of a Cadillac with ABS?
Nice! I appreciate you for keeping the lacs alive. U riding clean fam, salute from VA. I really like the sun roof u added. What year and vehicle did u take them out of?
Amigo buenas tardes me podría ayudar tengo un nisan tiida 2012 comfor y quiero aser la conversión de frenos de tambor afrenos de disco pero no se cuales discos comprar y caliper para aser la conversión me puede ayudar orientandome
Why is the Maser Cyl. on the right plumber differently than the one on the left. I have a brake problem and I believe it may be that the combo valve was installed incorrectly. Mine uses a GM Master and the line closest to the booster goes to the 3/16 front while the Front line on the Master goes to the rear brakes of the combo, this is incorrect right? I wish I could just drop off my truck to you guys to fix this hard pedal power brake problem I have. Oh and the Master is a 1 1/2 inch bore.
