Single piston

:lol:

Yeah...my brass fittings accidentally got stuck to a magnet. I guess it's my own fault. The shop had sets of fittings in little baggies. They had gold and steel gray. I didn't specifically ask if the "goldtone" was brass. Next time I'm bringing a magnet.

Ordered a pair of Raybestos. Should arrive at my house Wednesday. Seems like the sensible thing to do, being a whopping $20 investment and all...

72 Valiant, I've changed the spindles, have the hubs and discs on, when i went to install the calipers i ran into this problem

Replacing 9" drums with KH 4 piston discs. The flex line i have doesn't fit through the tab welded to the sub frame. The tab and original flex line have a flat spot on one side, I presume it's to keep the line from spinning. The disc brake flex line does not have the flat spot and won't fit...

I thought there may be a way to test pressure, but I didn't know for sure

bad news...but good to know

Okay...I'm thinking the equal reservoir maybe the right one...if there is no residual valve in the rear port How do I check for a residual valve without destroying the tube seat?

So...my heads spinning...does anyone know how to see if there is a residual valve in the rear port WITHOUT destroying the tube seat? ...I should probably just get a big-n-little

So...your original 4piston disc master cylinder was the equal reservoir style? If that's the case, perhaps I don't have the wrong master cylinder. The 1972 Chrysler Chassis Manual says disc and drum masters have different bail, cap, and gasket...they didn't add an "except for when they don't"...

Do you remember the part#?

Is there a way to do it without destroying the seats?

Does anyone know what the "special tool" is to remove the tube seats from the master cylinder?

This does help a bit

Addendum...the one I ordered IS the one I received...right description, wrong part

Sadly, I had already bench bleed and painted it before I realized it was wrong, and I don't know know if I still have the box. I checked to see if I ordered the wrong part. The one I ordered CLEARLY states front disc/rear drum, non-power, which is what I want. I sent an email to Rockauto to see...

Do front disc/rear drum master cylinders have a small front reservoir and large reservoir? I am putting KH 4 piston discs on the front of my 1972 Valiant. I ordered front disc/rear drum master cylinder from Rockauto way back when. The one I received has 2 equal reservoirs, but the port sizes...

Where did you get the adjustable rod?

I'm still trudging along on my drum to disc conversion on my 72 Valiant. Switching the 9" drums to 4 piston KH disc. I was about to order a master cylinder and I realized I don't know if the drum master cylinder pushrod is the same. Does anyone know? Manual brakes if that makes a difference.

Thanks this helps. They have the brackets for $105, drilled rotors for $135, and something named Wheel Kit for $475. I would go with the wheel kit for ease of one stop shopping IF it's all inclusive...

Has anyone purchased the VAL Wheel Kit from Scarebird? The description on their site is not that informative. Is this everything needed to do the swap?I've tried emailing to no avail. Makes me wonder if I should go a different route...

What are you using for wheels? Are those big rotors + calipers gonna fit w/o interference?

Do you mean you don't want to drill the rotors yourself? I think you can get pre-drilled rotors from scarebird

I want to improve the brakes on my 72 Valiant. No racing, simply for safety. Also, I want to stay with SBP 14" cheapie steel wheels. I am mulling over 10" drums or a Scarebird conversion. Any word of wisdom? Any other suggestions?

I was looking at replacement front drums and the descriptions often read "drum only - no hub"...Uhm, I kinda always thought the front drum/hub was a single unit. So I guess I need to know how to take the hub uota the drum. Any help?:-k

THANKS! I was wondering what a "knurl swedge cutter" was, and now I at least know what it does!

It may be the better route. But for now, I'm just gonna make sure I have a nice big gap in front of me.

So the only factory brakes to fit on 9" spindles are 9" drums? So I guess no quick fix. Do any of the aftermarket disc conversion kits fit these spindles?
