Wow..... lots to sort out!!!
What a mess. All that effort to make everything fit just to make it near impossible for the guy to replace breaks later on because who the fuck knows what is for what and what goes where and how?! My hats off to you. Good work!
Universal means it doesn't fit any cars universally!
Im just starting on a rear disc brake kit from Summit on a 66 Mustang like that, rite off the bat no hub rings and the e brake cables they sent go in the trash and have to start from scratch, funfunfun.
Your scaring people Matt! At 2:45 on the video under the lighting, you have (Red Devil Eyes.)
That’s that “I’d like to meet the guys who designed this (in a dark alley)” look
@@darylarmentrout252 I think Matt said "anywhere any time"!
@@kramnull8962 Ha! Ha! 😂🤣😂😈🤬
Somewhere an Italian with a ponytail sits back and snickers....
wheres bobby?
Going through this now
Yep Milwaukee power tools are great.👍
This is one reason why i like keeping something factory stock
I ordered Dennis Carpenter chrome door lock knob for my Gal and they came wrong!
I got the Thunderbird ones, square bore, not threaded of course… A simple thing like a door lock knob….😣
Not sure why people put discs on the rear anyway on a non-race car…only does 30% of the braking force.
It like any aftermarket product you have fabricated to make it work.
Throw that kit back in the box, return it and buy a different brand kit. It will never be right! If you don't UTG is going to make a "Give Me a Brake" t-shirt.
And as far as those rear breaks; I/We feel your pain. These parts and kits anymore are becoming a joke, to say the least. As you said, " a nightmare". You always figure it out though. I think your an awesome Mechanic. Keep up the good work for Jim. "I'd hire you in a second if you were in Colorado". 😁😁🤣🤣😎😎
BRAKES
It's a universal brake kit, so it's really one-size-doesn't-fit-anything. 😛
"I don't know" the size of those rotors, maybe it was a conversion kit for a 14 HP riding lawn mower. 😋☺🙄🤣🤣
Dumb question, what would keep you from being able to bore the hole out slightly in the brake line end? So the bolt would fit.
There's a concave space inside the banjo fitting that allows the banjo bolt to get fluid. If you bore it out, you don't have that space and brakes will work very hard, if they work at all.
@@robbsclassics Ok makes perfect sense.
Where's Bobby?
Milwaukee is the best. I don't even use my air impact anymore. That seems like nothing is right in that kit. Probably some pissed off packing guy throwing any parts he found in a package.
Matt , could you have not opened hole to fit Banjo Bolt?
The caliper racket is wrong. That;s why the pad is halfway off the rotor.
you are exactly right! it turns out to be a truck bracket. Simple mistake on their part, but a huge delay for us. I still like the quality of the kit. As we have shown in numerous videos, unexpected things happen. We work on several cars at a time for this very reason, if you come to a dead stop on one, move to another. Doesnt make the issue suck any less, but at least we are still generating income elsewhere
Thru on the wheel itl probley rub the calper BIN THRU IT
Aftermarket Brakes: There's Wilwood if you got the coin. And there's ScareBird. I went with ScareBird.
what kit was this so i can avoid t in the future
In yesterdays video I think Jim said it was from Pirate Jacks. Arrr
@@howardwilliams8993 makes sense, i havent really heard the best of things from there. have had great luck with right stuff detailing. ssbc isnt the same ssbc from back in the day, and its kinda meh. CPP is meh.
Does Jim still think this is a "REAL GOOD KIT"? Look at the hours you've wasted trying to get it to work.
Not to mention money
its still an excellent kit, just got some incorrect parts which is a common issue, even with wilwood. Throwing our hands up isnt an option. Adapt, alter, fabricate, we do what it takes to make things work correctly. its all a part of thr process, that and a healthy dose of anti depressants
😁🖖👌👍✌😎
Instead of screwing with a "Universal" kit, it sounds like he would have been better off adapting the brakes from another car model -- then everything wouldn't have been the wrong bolts/rotors.
no other early fords have rear disc, and adapting another cars brakes would involve time sourcing components and research. the kit we are using will work perfectly once we get the correct components
You can't find the cars in the junk yard and you can't get part from the parts house its just to old so we have to order this stuff it sucks but just part of hot rodin
@@bennettshotrodgarageclassi7068 OK, it just seemed like if you had started with disc brakes from a model that you knew, it would have saved time over trying to adapt every last bit on this kit. Because then the rotors and calipers would already be paired, etc. I think it's great that you have been able to overcome the mechanical issues on this.
Put an airline on the other end of the braided brake hose and drill it out to fit the bolts you have.
I thought about that but the problem if I get it wrong the fluid flow wouldn't be correct or I totally ruin it and we couldn't return it the fluid flows through that block and through the bolt into the caliper
@@matthewboyd3621 I bet $1000 the people at the "return center" are too stupid to know either way...
