Brakes finished!

Hey all,
Finally got my brakes finished last night. Now i'm really getting excited to go for that first drive! This was the first time I replaced a complete system from pedal to wheels and couldn't have done it without you guys, so Thank You!

Thats great. I put all new braking gear on the front during my front end rebuild. Now I need to do the back and master cylinder and maybe replace all the lines. What kind of master cylinder did you use? I would like to upgrade the stock to a dual section for safety. I don't need a booster though, I like the feel of the manual brakes. Before I did the front brakes I would have to start braking WAY in advance in order to stop at an intersection. Now they work awesome.

Mike, I used the Dual chamber Master cylinder set up for disc/drum. If you mount it in the stock location you will need the adapter to mount it along with the clutch shaft kit if you have the manual tranny. its a pretty basic install, I really only needed to change the bends in the brake lines to line up with the combination valve since I'm running disc brakes up front.
