Brakes!
I was wondering if anybody has the diagram showing how all my brake lines hook up on my f-6. I know this is a dumb question, but all the lines are unhooked from the master cylinder & booster and I have no way to tell what goes where. I'm gonna run all new lines to everything, but would it be better to rebuild the master cylinder or buy a new one? Thanks in advance. JOE

I would disassemble the Master and check the main bore for any severe pitting or scoring. A brake honer can often clean them up. A rebuild kit is simple and less expensive. It's just a machined casting. If the Casting is in good shape the rebuild should take care of business.
The line routing should not be too difficult provided you are clear of abrasion and use flex lines between parts that move and those that don't.

I figured the master wouldn't be so bad to rebuild, but it's the booster I'm worried about. I'm gonna see what I can do about the line routing, but it would be easier and faster with a diagram. I gotta get the rubber flex hoses for the front and rear then the rest should be a pretty simple process or at least I hope. Thanks for the reply. JOE
