Finally pulled trigger on a front disc conversion

-
Cleaned up some of the old stuff (Elbow grease and scotch-brite pad!), chased some threads etc in preparation for the new install. Waiting on the new push rod boot and retainer to arrive.

That looks like a nice kit and you're doin some fine work too. Clean job! I see you also reuse those cat litter buckets. They work good for stuff, don't they?
 
Good idea on replacing the brake lines, the old ones will break with no warning.

So true. As I started pulling the old stuff off the car One of the dried out flexible lines was nearly cracked through, and the solid lines were brittle as all get out. I suspect the car was one emergency stop away from a failure.
 
Hey Folks,

Been awhile since I have been able to work on the Duster due to work, the girls college orientations and house stuff. Finally got a bit of free time to hit the garage. Bench bled and mounted the new MC. Also fabricated a mounting bracket for the proportioning valve out of some stainless steel stock scrap.

Gotta install the residual pressure valve and route and bend new brake lines. Getting close!
