Hi,
I just picked up a pretty complete HB from a 99-04 era Mustang. It has all the lines intact as well as the brake distribution block. Including some nicely formed hard lines that come of the HB unit itself.
Is there a reason I would not want to use those hardlines and just get new fittings for my 4x4 box at my local hydraulics shop soldered on the ends?
I know I've read guys like to be able to carry 1 spare hose and by using aftermarket fittings they can achieve that. I'm not really in need of that right now or the foreseeable future and would like to save money on the swap.
My truck had manual brakes but discs front and rear. Would I be best off using the new mustang dist block? I don't currently have a proportioning valve in my system. I will also be using the Mustang master cylinder.
I have taken off the bracket to clock it away from valve covers (351w) and down from the hood. Once the little centering/locking nub is ground down do I need to do something to help lock the bracket back in place? I can't remember ever reading about this.
Also when I go to place the bracket on firewall do I just center the brackets hole against the existing hole in firewall or do I move the bracket down as far as the firewall bracket lets me, so I gain more room from hood? Not sure if that will effect pedal/rod travel or not, though the mustang pushrod is able to move and have the angle changed.
Thanks.
