Rear disc DONE

[secretagent]

Finally figured my rear disc problem, the master cyl. using a master from a 95 80 series w/ 4 wheel disc. stops awesome.

How much did all of it cost you? Include incidentals, fluid, lines if any, hardware. It is looking like time to do mine.

Thanks,
Fax

Hey Greg looks great, glad you got it figured out. looks alot like the master i have, and yes i couldnt beleive how much better the brakes work, one of the best mods ive done and no more adjusting! congradulations!!!

 

[snailwagon]

Must have missed it, what problem were you having before installing that MC?
I like mine quite a bit, mainly bacause I don't have to adjust it anymore and wrestle those seizing adjusters every 6 months. Plus parts are a hell of a lot cheaper.

Nice, need to hook up with ya, I will try soon, Kief,

Going through the same issues, looks good and glad you cured it.

What booster are you running??

I finally settled on 4runner calipers and that same master - stock '76 booster to take three weeks to rebuild

 

[secretagent]

I'm running the stock booster, just had it rebulit along with monte carlo calipers and the GM truck rotors (had a local machine shop cut the center hole out to fit the axel) I also went with the steel braided lines from Downey, seemed easier than trying to fit a rubber hose to the caliper and then to the Toyota hardline along the axel. The problem I was having with the MC was the residual pressure to the rear but once I got a 4 wheel disc mater WOW it works awesome. I thank everyone who gave advice. I was getting really frustrated towards the end. I guess the total cost with EVERYTHING (booster, machining MC from the DEALER) was about $550. I think well woth it though

Looks great man!!

Why is my stock booster like 10" long? Did the style change dramatically between '75 and '76? I have to believe that the PO of my rig did not swap in a different compnent but ???

 

[secretagent]

Haystack, they did change the booster in 76 to a dual diaphram, unlike the single diaphram that I have. The dual is ALOT more cash to buy or build than the one I have, sorry dude

 

[haystax]

Well hell, more parts to track down now, glad I held off on the stock parts for mine - thanks for the help, I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, should be set by next week.

Where are you at in S. Oregon??

 

[secretagent]
