    LF kelsey Hayes caliper started dragging.

    Comon' Man! LoL I did the easy stuff, replaced Hose and caliper. I should be good to go... No? It worked great initially, why would the second caliper have the same symptom? I fear that I'll spend money on the SSBC caliper w/ss sleeve only to have the same result. Is there something else I...

    LF kelsey Hayes caliper started dragging.

    Thanks Bill. Yes fluid fliows when the pedal is applied. What's getting me is that I replaced the hose and caliper and I'm still having the same issue. The fluid is new ( less than 500 miles on it). This whole brake system is new either the exception of the prop valve.

    LF kelsey Hayes caliper started dragging.

    Thanks trailbeast. No pressure when I crack the bleeder. And this is a second caliper. What are the chances the second one is doing the same as the first! ( rhetorical) This is annoying.

    LF kelsey Hayes caliper started dragging.

    Greetings, During my resto I converted to a set of Kelsey Hayes. For the first few hundred miles everything worked great. Then the left front brake started to drag and now the car pulls to the left. Ive read some treads and I am familiar with the knock on these brakes but I replaced the caliper...

    where do i disconnect the park brake?

    I think you could separate them at the equalizer. then pull the third member and transfer cables to the 8 3/4. As Bad Sport stated once installed check lengths and adjust as needed. my .02 Never mind I was writing as you were lol

    Replacement Brake Lines (and Fuel Line)

    I used finelines for the brakes and fuel perfect fit,both stainless steel. Went to inline tube for the parking brake. Very good also. If you have the combo valve go with the 1 piece front to rear.

    Advice on manual style brake master cylinder on 70 Dart

    There is a thread on here somewhere that has many different approaches to removal. When I did mine the method I used worked great. After removing the master cylinder and draining it I used my floor jack to do the work. I fed the rod through the floor jack and placed a big screwdriver through...

    park brake question

    mine for the 69 Dart had no intermediate cable. On my setup is on the left side of the car. It routed out of the firewall under the floor through the cross member and connected to the rear cables by an adapter plate. The rear cables mounted to a bracket on the left side just under the rear...

    KH Discs vs 73+ Discs

    Okay so I'm a bit slow on the uptake of this discussion. My understanding is * KH setup = FIXED type * 73+ setup = FLOATING type. Having ridden sport bikes I can tell you that most if not all come with "multi pot" fixed calipers and semi floating rotors for street and full floating...

    Lubricate Loaded Calipers? Brakes dragging intermittently

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    lol, I guess it happens when we go after market ;) I ended up bending up another short section with 3/16 flare at both ends and using the combo valve with a coupling to Join the 2pc front to back section (ala AbodyJoe). That being said I can also fit the adjustable prop valve at any time. AND...

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    lol no worries Gerald. it's all a learning experience And I don't mind sharing so others don't have to go through it :) I would have thought the valve fabricator would have standardized the fittings based on application.u

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    That's cool. After some digging I found out: * The adjustable prop valve is tapped for metric M8 (1 0) which is why the 1/8 not didn't work. * The short section with the 1/4 in fitting is correct for the input of the factory hold off. I'm going to either track down the fitting, the...

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    Gahh! This is kind of ridiculous and frustrating. I received the adjustable valve yesterday. It's a unit from "Right Stuff" braking, I bought it through Inline Tube since I was ordering the P-Brake hardware anyway. The P-valve came with 2 - 3/16th adapters but as stated in my previous post...

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    Thanks Joe... Do you recall the fitting sizes on the short section of the 2pc. rear you received from fine lines? Mine came with a 3/16 fitting on one end and a 1/4 on the other. The port on the block is tapped for the 3/16 end which means the 1/4 end has to join with the long section...

    Caxey, I think you are referring to my master Cylinder (I'm not running a power booster) It's a Raybestos Master cylinder (#MC36406) 15/16 bore.

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    I cleaned up the original 5 port "non combo" block and installed it back onto the Dart. The M/C lines which were perfectly bent for the combination block required some massaging to works with the smaller non combination block. The adjustable valve should arrive soon and I'll post updated...

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    Thanks for the info! I don't think I'll see shoes that big on this ride lol, but its good to know that the OEM set up works well. I did get the 15/16 MC for my set up ( I probably should have mentioned that earlier) and I'll keep the wheel cylinder changes in my back pocket.

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    I'm leaning to Option 1 also since I already have the 2 pc front to rear set up, and the original block just needs to be cleaned up. I could keep it original and get the correct hold down block but I like the idea of the adjustable valve. Plus its Bolt-on. The new adj. valve should arrive...

    Perfect this looks like the setup for the 2 pc. line. I have to think about either changing lines, or going back to the configuration in your photos. Thanks for the photos AlV

    Need advice on Brake line parts and configuration

    Okay Thanks! I won't run both. So that leaves the following options: 1. Go back to the old block, get an adjustable valve and use the 2 pc line. 2. Keep the combo valve and get a 1pc line.
