For easy on the fly brake adjustments. Think road course car.

pfft only cause we don't have a thread called "which male race car driver would you blow?"

I do remember your Monte. Love that you still have it, and are still working on it. And yeah, like FMX said, it's for fine tuning the braking system under racing conditions. I'll need to be able to control bias because I am putting enormous Wilwoods on the car. Stock (setup for rear drums) was NOT going to cut it.



Thanks mate! Hopefully I won't disappoint







I checked my fluid reservoirs......

Fluid! Fluid where I want it! Not on the floor, or my paint, or the paper towels!



Well in the most downstream one, the red side.. Nothing out on the blue side....Yet.... Path of least resistance, and all that....




But that means there was/is fluid in the rear portion of the line....And I have yet to see, or feel, any leaks.

I've filled the master cylinder for a second time. If I go through two refills and no drips, I'll be feeling fairly confident.


Fluid systems and I seem to have a long history of not working well together (refer back to my thermostat housing woes).

If this latest fix is a success, I can now continue prepping the car for the engine reinstall.

Fluid BETTER stay on the inside this time....

Next step: Clean and restore OEM emergency brake cable. One of the last remaining untouched portions of the car.



Not for long...

Yeah i forgot it was a 2100lb 4banger, road race car all the way

ya we put disks on the rear, and never used the proportioning valve i bought O_O

Motor doesn't make enough vacuum to lock up the breaks lmao

hey homer, your better than that, you need to get a better bias adjuster, i hate them visible in cab ones.


still looking good though


also, that jeeps not stuck, your mind is

Would you please take a look at my own fluid system?

Only if they look half as good as Koj.

Hopefully, with me in it, it will weigh around 2300# with a full tank of gas, and a roll bar. That's the plan.

The turbocharged straight 6 should push it along nicely.



Thanks

It's staying for now. Any reason for your aversion to them? Any suggestions you'd recommend? I would still like to have it located in the cockpit.


Good point. I figured you'd give me the hardest time about the Jeep. You caught me, I'm super lazy. Thermostat housing is leaking (I think), and it's made me not want to work on, or drive, it.

But you've tempted me. I'll head out in a little bit and film my attempt to free it. Haha, should be interesting. Since I took those videos we have received at least another 12" or so of snow.



If you want fluid to stay on the inside, I am NOT the guy to talk to. haha.




Puhleeease quit teasing, you're getting me all exited.





And oh yeah. No fucking leaks baby. 2 master cylinder's worth of fluid has gone through the lines. As of this morning....no drips....

Oh my god...I get to put my engine back in....
