Front and back brakes using Toy calipers and rotors.
Here is what I got so far.
After finishing the front disc brakes ,Thanks to Poser for saving me about $90 cnd when he suggested to go to newer wheel hubs, I took it on the highway for a 40 min drive for the first time.
I had driven it around town few times this past week, but yesterday and today were the first good days, weatherwise ,we had here since last Dec.
So far I didn't use any proportioning valve and I didn't change anything in the BMC, No proplems to report whatsoever . I have never driven any thing with better brakes. The rears didn't lockup at all
and I ried to use the brakes about every 5 min when I was driving , tried to get the rears to lockup , but they didn't. If things stay like this I will be completely satisfied with these brakes
I took the truck to the shop to do some welding in the back of the tub, and to weld the plates to the shackle mounts . I had those plates changed last weekend.
I promised to report to you how things go and this what I am doing now.
for the rest of the month ,I will run this sucker as hard as I can and figure out what is the best way to go about the axle shafts and the axle shaft seals.
So far the seals are holding very good and no leaks so far.
I tried to post pics, but body forgot to bring his d camera, I will do that soon , I know we all like to see pics.
