    73 duster front brakes locking up when coming to a stop.

    I'm really glad you got the brakes working correctly. When you said the emergency stuff was missin I immediately thought un-sprung weight, cuz I build racecars. We tear out all the struts, levers, cables, and often seriously modify the backing plate to remove every ounce of unnecessary weight...

    73 duster front brakes locking up when coming to a stop.

    Yes. If the master cyl has the largest reservoir closest to the firewll, that is the front disc brake reservoir goes to top center fitting on pic I posted. Small reservoir goes to bottom of pic to single fitting, then single line out other side to rear brakes. I say this cuz some masters have...

    73 duster front brakes locking up when coming to a stop.

    Sooo funny, I had a discussion here a coupla years ago with someone, - pretty sure Indiana or NE about the legal need for an emergency brake, he said he wasn't gonna install it. Wonder if that is the car ...

    73 duster front brakes locking up when coming to a stop.

    The emergency brake struts and cable levers have no effect on the hydraulic system. They are part of the "secondary mechanical brake system" required by most laws.

    Which master cylinder bore size to use for power disc Kelsey/Hayes

    If all the pistons aren't firmly seated against pads, with the pads in full contact with the discs, there can be voids holding air. Lotsa folks bleed till "blue", lol, cuz it takes a buncha pumping to get all 4/8 pistons in total contact with the pad, and more pumping to then move the pads out...

    Which master cylinder bore size to use for power disc Kelsey/Hayes

    All the m/c diameters worked in our tests. The difference was in the "feel and control" over the application and release, - not how much effort. The travel of the pedal, and the drivers control over the brake modulation. Saying it takes n% more, - more than what, - you have to feel the...

    Which master cylinder bore size to use for power disc Kelsey/Hayes

    I have actually changed thru all 4 m/cs in an afternoon at teh track to get a realistic comparison, there is significant difference. We also went thru a series of different composite pads for reality.

    Disc Brake conversion power master cylinder question

    Hi, very nice car. I'd adjust the rear brakes, then set the emergency, re-bleed, I kinda suspect the master may be running outta travel moving out the rear shoes. We recently went thru this, here's a similar thread that took the dude down a rabbit hole, but the rest a lotta good stuff there. I...

    Are These Lugs Swaged To The Drum?

    3/8, or 7/16 drill thru the head of the stud, wallow the hole a bit, the head will fall off, then the stud will pop out the front with a punch. Easy-peasy .

    Are These Lugs Swaged To The Drum?

    I don't think it was mentioned, but if you're not going to re-use the studs, you can drill or grind the heads off the stud inside the drum, and punch the stud with swage out the front without damaging the hub . They're soft steel and drill/cut easily . Cheers

    Are These Lugs Swaged To The Drum?

    Yes, it's swaged. My experiences removing the stud without removing the swage, damages/enlargens the hole to the point that the old/new stud will not be secure, it'll fit, but loose, and seem okay, till . This will rear it's ugly head when trying to undo the wheel nut, the stud spins in the hub...

    Set the emergency on, so the shoe movement doesn't keep squirting fluid back at you everytime the springs retract the brake shoes.

    Master cylinder

    The bigger piston just needs more "effort", will work fine. The smaller piston just gives better " feel and modulation" for better pressure control, and more line pressure when needed, as spirited drivers are perhaps a little more aggressive.

    Master cylinder

    Lotta engines I build don't have enuff vacuum for power brakes, I go with this m/c having the smallest piston giving the best "feel and pedal" for spirited drivers. It's a straight bolt on, you may need a pushrod as the power one is different...

    Power Disc Brakes not working on hard stop?

    In the pic from the Right Stuff site, the pic show slots on the firewall mounting brackets. Now there is NO motion or assist, is it possible that by sliding the booster up or down can be causing the linkages to hit the firewall, or fender. Perhaps the slots are what I remembered from the...

    OP Another new thread picture makes me want to ask if there could be any kind of interference with that gizmo that bolts on.
