Disc rear conversion.......
Reply #17 –
I just saw these two last replies. I have the parts in the garage (complete front suspension, complete rear).
I have heard of gutting the proportioning valve but never seen it done, as well as mating up an adjustable to it. I have luckily never needed to do much of any brake work other that swapping brakes or rotors. Easy stuff.
So, as far as the master cylinder, you believe the stock one is fine (it is new) or should i swap it to a '93 Cobra style MC? I hear conflicting stories. I do plan on swapping my stock, nearly 30 year old booster out for a new smaller Fox Mustang GT style booster. I figured I could use a clutch cable adjuster that way. Any opinions on that. I'm open to all opinions.
Apparently Dom included the parking brake cables from the pedal to the rear, still connected. The only parts not in place are the front calipers.
Do the rear calipers squeeze together like the front or need the tool that turns them in?
I plan on new shocks and struts, new ball joints, and the best pads I can get and the stainless hoses (one piece at a time until I have it all, then install it all at once.). I was also thinking about going to poly bushings and a solid steering shaft. I'll also be replacing the steering rack and tie rod ends since they are under warranty.
I had swapped the steering shaft's rubber disc, but I think it still sucks.
