master cylinder plumbing
hey guys
stupid question. does the front reservoir of the master cylinder go to the front brake lines and the rear larger reservoir to the rear brakes or is it the other way around?
thanks

Yes, I just hooked up the calipers to the existing lines. You are going to love the disks. I have had exactly zero issues with my brakes since I converted them, after being tortured by them for a few years...Mark

Do you have an E-brake ? IF so, how is it set up?
please don't tell me you found an old rock you stick in front of the tire....

Yeah, I bought the erg kit with the e-brake. They are Cadillac Eldorado calipers. I hold the brake pedal down as I set the E-brake and it holds like a bad dog, that is if a bad dog can hold something......Mark

Has anyone ever tried to mount a parking brake to the pinion?
Lot of heavy equipment use something like this.

PINION MOUNTED PARKING BRAKE (Not an Emergency Brake)
Not recommended for trucks (Will not hold good and affects ground clearance)

Can someone tell me what it's for if it doesn't work ???
My Fuso has a driveshaft parking brake. It's absolutely worthless. It cannot hold the truck at all, and it has been that way since day one. It's mounted up at the trans and resembles a brake drum. I'm sure that's what is inside there. Absolutely worthless..
