Brakes almost done.....

I should be able to do a test drive tommorrow and check out my disc brake conversion. Bled the brakes tonight but the pedal has lots of "slop" or free play before anything happens so i think i have to adjust my free play if there is still adjustment.
Put the 2 front tires on and gently back out of the garage, hopefully everything works and i can post the results........or you can read about me in the papers !!

Well............
Happy to report the test drive last night at midnight was great !
That truck will stand on the front bumper....straight and true in it's own lane, not too hard fror pedal push. Real happy so far, today after work i will bring it in and do another leak and looseness check.
As for removing 2 leaves from the front......impressed so far, decent drop now and the ride actually felt softer. I tried some of the big bumps around town last night with some speed and no bottoming.
So i am back on the road !!!
