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

Front to rear, rear to front...Mark

thanks mark, does this still apply when i change the rear to disc?

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

haha awesome! thanks

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....:o

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...:chug:...Mark

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

I've never seen it on a pickup but that would be pretty slick! I may have to look into that some more!

That's pretty cool. Except is specifically says...

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..

That's easy, to make money...Mark
