I have a 1977 Ford F-250 custom and I converted my rear brakes to disc from drums and I’m trying to figure out my brake line setup for the rear and I was wondering what other people have done I appreciate the help
Awesome I appreciate those pictures that’s definitely what I was thinking on doing on mine now I do have a few questions on the tree going to the driver rear caliper what fittings did you do it looks like a small hard line to the flex line? And on the passenger side that bracket there can I just weld on one my axle?
Also I see you have the same rear brake kit as me I was wondering where do I need to Lubricate the parts especially the pins on the calipers I don’t want anything locking up on me I appreciate the help!
If the calipers are bolted solidly in place and have pistons on both sides of rhe rotor, you can hard-line them all the way.
If the calipers float and have pistons on only the one side of the rotor, you need to run a flex rubber or SS braided AN type line to the caliper.
i have the same rear brakes as the pictures above I’m going to run mine like the one in the picture I just need to know what fittings he did on the driver side
Here is a close up of the fitting. It is actually part of the braided SS assembly. I had them made at my local hydraulic store that makes hoses and such. They also flared the ends of the SS tube after I cut them to length. The original pieces were from kit I got for SS hard lines for the truck from inline tubes. My truck is a 73 but I ordered the kit for a 76. Worked for me. On the passenger side I welded the tab to hold the connection.
