Delayed Disc Brake Release

It’s a front drum to disc conversion with a new MC, a stock push rod replacing an adjustable one and new hard and soft lines.

I thought that perhaps the original adjustable push rod was too long thereby keeping some residual pressure on the MC, but the stock replacement (one piece) push rod was actually a little longer. I’ve owned the car for two years and a previous owner had a bulky power drum unit installed. So, some parts (MC, push rod) weren’t stock.

The master cylinder is a front disc/rear drum unit with no residual pressure valve on the rear bowl (front brakes) but an RPV on the front bowl.

I replaced the brake light switch some time ago, and as you know it’s position is adjustable. I‘m going to look carefully at that next as it may be too far forward.

lastly, the manufacturer wasn’t too meticulous in the design and I had to grind down some metal off of the spindles as the calipers we’re hitting them.

lots of moving parts to deal with here and you’re all giving me a lot of good help. Thanks again
