    I have the maximum manuel brake kit. It was expensive but amazing. Would not change it. The build is coming along nicely

    Since the dash has no structure to it anymore, I'd add a roll cage bar behind the dash that goes from driver side to passenger side. Firewall is super thin...would be a scary thing if that motor tried to come through the firewall lol

    Hey buddy thanks for ur advise. I have a question is it a good idea to run braided lines all around instead of hard lines to make life easier using 3 an?

    Great video. Where did you buy those lines to bench bleed? Or what’s the flare size going into the master cylinder Incase I have to make them?

      I can’t remember the size. I took the fittings to Napa and just bought a couple lines that fit then cut them to length.

      So of course I forgot to say I have an adjustable proportioning valve from wildwood so my stupidity sorry what I meant to ask was can I just hook it up ur way and use that proportioning valve to adjust the rear for less pressure and delete the factory one ? Sorry man for asking the wrong questions

      @HaltomAutoworks 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@tonymontana4349 yes you can delete the factory prop. Valve and use the wilwood prop valve that you have. Just put a "T" fitting in place of the factory prop valve. If you look by the passenger side hood hinge there is a pair of fitting on the factory brake line, you can install your wilwood prop valve in between those fittings. That line goes to both rear calipers.

    Hi great video I have a question I have the same set up but my brakes seem super hard my brake lines are reverse from what you did could that be the issue my rears go to the back port and the front line goes to the front port. Car hardly stops running disc brakes all around sn95 style

      That’s not wha I’ve read. The closer port provides more volume so that goes to the front where you typically have larger calipers. zigsstreetrods.com/Techtips/c07936.html

      @fox-body  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok. I don’t know anything about mopars. This video is on a foxbody. I looked at my other two mustangs and there both back port to front wheels. So unless the factory plumbed it back wards, then ford is different than dodge. Do you have any links that show foxbodys Plummed the way your saying?
