No Brakes!!

Well, it finally happend. I lost the old brakes on the way home from work. I gues I will be adding the power brake up-grade I have had on the shelf. Hope all the lines line up! I will be changing the valve also. It is off a 76 hi-boy with disk brakes. I changed the front endwith disk over a while back and just left the manual brakes on it. Wel,l I going to grab some breakfast and head to the garage!

Update

It took me half the day to find all the parts I had corn holed away for this swap. I finished taking everything off and started to put the new proportion valve in. It is a pain!!! It will be a bigger job than I thought it would be. Good thing time is on my side. More to come. Having trouble liningup the mounting bracket and the gas line. Not to mention none of the brake line are the same. That will be fun.

I have the new valve all hooked up now. Easier than I thought it would be. Lots easier!! Had to rework the braket that holds the line as they come up to master. Next is the boster and master.
