The update/conversion moved along today with the installation of a 19mm master cylinder and the replacement of the hard lines. Man am I sore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Crawling around under the car and getting up and down about a thousand times wore me out, plus it was about 93 degrees out today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Anyway the install of the master cylinder went as planned with no issues. Even the install of the reservoir lines was easy but I did lossen the clamp and lowered the reservoir to make it easier. I purchased a complete hard line kit off Ebay from a guy that imports nickel/copper lines from England. They're a little easier to bend than steel lines and supposedly won't rust. The install of the tunnel lines was easier than I thought and removing the shifter gained access to the clamp tabs that need to first be unbent and then bent back once the new lines are in. So the front lines are done and the tunnel lines are done so now on to the rear lines. Just thought I would share my days work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I probably would have struggled with that had I not seen that suggestion on this forum or one of the other forums ( can't remember ). By lowering the reservoir / lines you're able to really get some pushing torque on them to insert them into the rubber grommets. It took about 30 seconds to have both lines snapped in. I just hope when it's all buttoned up she doesn't leak anywhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
