brake conversion
Good morning and thank you all for your comments and information have a doctors appointment today so hopefully back on my feet soon, so in the pictures you’ll see my car, the engine bay proportioning valve from SSBC and the new portion of valve installed. so when I got the car very little break that started a year ago just back brakes. They would luck if I had to come to a sudden stop so over the winter I started researching got some help from different people that did not work now I replaced the SSBC proportion valve, and that didn’t seem to work the gentleman helping noticed particles in master cylinder so I replace that and being careful to make sure the plunger was the correct size that didn’t work so we reversed the lines on the master cylinder that didn’t work in between all of these changes lines were all bled first by gravity and then with some pumps one thing that was discovered my pedal will only go down so far I’ll estimate halfway when we bled the front calibers. It would go to the floor not sure if that makes any difference soul got a text from SSB on the phone he says the vacuum should be at least 20 and that would increase the pressure at the calibres which need a substantial amount of pressure for them to work properly so my car sits today after all of that and no luck I believe I’ve covered with the exception of the rod for the pedal all of the scenarios that were suggested to me again thank you thank you thank you, so I have ordered a vacuum pump which is not here. That would be my next try for brakes. Also, I would like to add on the original SSP proportion of valve that was installed on the back brakes only during this whole scenario we have a upgraded lines and hoses. like many people who have purchased a classic this can be so frustrating as I am up in years. This may be my last classic car but I would like to get some enjoyment and safe enjoyment anything anybody wants to add I would be thrilled . Thank you, Mike.
