64 (Canadian) Valiant Signet (aka Dart GT) front disc brake conversion
OK. Busy garage day
Interior bracket removed, studs pressed out
Decided.to replace all 4, they were very corroded from rust and brake fluid over the years.
Removed rust off the brackets and firewall, and plates.
Tack welded #5 bolts in the place of the studs. Primed and top-coated the bracket
Remounted the bracket, re-artached the steering shaft to the steering gear. Placed the booster in place and selected appropriate linkage.
Unfortunately the next step is to remove the booster so I can cut down the booster shaft to the correct length.
Tight fit but so far so good.
Bench bleeding the master is next,. Going to go with synthetic brake fluid since I've replaced everything from front to rear.
Once I get the MC mounted on the booster I will be able to mock up the lines and figure out where the distribution block and proportioning valve will be mounted
