    What are your thoughts on this master cylinder upgrade and the disc brake upgrade as a whole?

      hmm 🤔 how long? in minutes / how much fluid did you end up using?
      as you probably can tell by reading this isn't my first " brake job " and i do have most of the right tools for the job like hydraulic gauges the only tool i didn't try is a " professional pressure bleeder " but i did use the electric master cylinder hydraulic assist pump for leak testing / speed bleeding out most of the air in my new lines and 6 pistons calipers and 4 of them (@ 1200 psi for 10 + minutes and outside passed with flying colours ) all of my parts individually as a disk swap installation

    • @BudgetBuildGarage
      @BudgetBuildGarage  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A couple of questions. What Master cylinder are you using? Is the master cylinder level? Are you bleeding the top bleed screws on the caliper and doing the out side screw first? If you are positive you don't have any leaks make sure you don't bleed the master dry at any point and bleed out around a full bottles worth of brake fluid and if you don't have a nice firm pedal then you probably have a defective master cylinder.

      my master cylinder i went with you can get a new ( from ABS power brakes.com ) 1 1/8 in billtit one but im going for a " 1969 dodge charger factory look / sporty prototype feel of what could have been a stock factory T/A " th-cam.com/video/q-2FebPzy2U/w-d-xo.html no ABS system i skipped it / too much work for me rite now / i don't know how work on reprograming complicated computer systems including home towers /pc but it possibly can work, 1960-80s GM guys use it on $$ builds. as far as being level i think it is car is on 4 jackstants wheels off as for out side leaks over 90% sure its ok and i used a timer set to 10m
      brake fluid torquebrakefluid.com/rt700-specifications.html / cheap auto part store DOT 4 mosty because the "good stuff is $$$$ and im tried of wasting it " the newer tsbs says thats the better 1 to use ( dot4 ), i have ended up using over a 1 gallon trying to bleed it and yes it was 70-100% full the entire time
      www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds213.pdf plumbing schematic diagram i used just without the check valves installed and the return line caped off ( with a bleeder nipples at the end up higher than the reservoir ) the check for correct functionality its passable i did something wrong with getting it to work because this the first " racing braking system " i have worked on 99 % of the others are R&R OEM parts and procedures
      rotors are 12.88 willwood 2 piece type super light - 6 pistons ( 17 and up rims i don't see how any 19in rims can fit on a B_Body without rubbing or cutting ) i would have like to been able to afford the carbon - carbon but could not come up with the 1k + $$ extra up front costs so win my pads are toasted / iron rotors i do than up grade 2 for 17in rims , as for the " outside bleeder nipples " no i have left them closed and have not seen anywhere saying to open them with the fuild recirculators installed + mine are drilled with a crossover tube installed from willwood with all 316 stainless steel 1/4 in lines -4 JIC / A/N fittings

  • @jaygribbin6790
    @jaygribbin6790 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    2 things about your video. I wouldn't cut anything off the pushrod length. The reason being that you have put a smaller bore master cylinder in than the original. Smaller bore equals more pressure but also equals longer travel. I would be testing the brakes before I cut anything off the pushrod in case you end up with the pedal way too low. Also the switch in the proportion valve is not a brake fluid level switch (not in cars here in Australia anyway)It operates a warning light to tell you there is a pressure difference between the front and the rear brakes perhaps a leak or a failure in one of the circuits.

    A quick tip about brake fluid if you push the brake pedal to the floor that will push the rod inside the master cylinder and this will stop brake fluid coming out of the hose, hold the brake pedal down with a stick or long rod.

    I have been told a 7/8 inch bore master is the problem of my milwood conversion that put on. I used the same parts you did I believe. They(milwood) say it is not pushing enough fluid to engage the volume needed to close those calipers.

    • @robertclymer6948
      @robertclymer6948 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is why I want at least at 15/16" bore. The smaller the bore, the more pressure. Especially with manual brakes. My current present master cyl. is a 1" bore and I have to almost use two feet to stop my car.

  • @philknapp5051
    @philknapp5051 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Regarding the plug torque question you raised I agree with you. For a time I was a mold maker and therefore drilled and tapped a lot of holes in a lot of different types of material. Because the Wilwood Master Cylinder is aluminum lubricating the threads is always a good idea as aluminum threads have a tendency to gall and once it starts the threads are shot. For applications where aluminum threads are used frequently I've always used thread inserts.

  • @Juicedapipsqueak10
    @Juicedapipsqueak10 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    20-25 ft lbs tq. Go to the highest torque because if it loses torque to 20 ft lbs it’s still within spec. If torqued to low end and it loses torque it’s no longer in the 20-25 range, which means it’s no longer torqued.

  • @mattmurphy3370
    @mattmurphy3370 ปีที่แล้ว

    20-25 ft-lbs spec states the upper and lower spec limit. Your target torque should be 22.5 ft-lbs. Every torque wrench has inherent variation, and it's usually ±3%. With these low of torques values, 3% is only ~0.7 ft-lbs (so not much). Then comes in the variation with fastener holding force and that's cause by dirt on the threads, lubricated threads (like you using white lithium grease can actually REDUCE the max torque by as much as 10 ft-lbs for an M10 bolt), and how clean and burr-free the threads are.
    That's a lot of info but the takeaway is, torque it to the value between the two numbers (22.5 ft-lbs here) and do not use a lubricant unless the instructions tell you to because you could actually be over-torqueing the bolts.

    I saw your video and it goes to what I need.
    I'm from Portugal and I need your help to choose the best Proportioning Valve for my 67 mustang with front power Disc & rear Drum Brake
    My original is a DISTRIBUTION BLOCK that I think is different from a Proportioning Valve? What's the difference?
    What is the best replacement option: PV6070FD or Wilwood 260-11179 or PV2
    I changed my mastercylinder to a "1967-70 Mustang Power brake booster Chrome master cylinder" (9 "brake booster and 1" bore MC)
    One of the problems I feel is that the pedal is harder and has less travel. It's normal?
    I have one more question, Why do you use a residual valves 10lb if you already have a Wilwood 260-11179 with tuning?
    How is Wilwood 260-11179 tuned to find the perfect balance?
    Congratulations fo the video.

    • @BudgetBuildGarage
      @BudgetBuildGarage  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The distribution block is going to be different than a proportioning valve. get rid of the block and use the proportioning valve. You adjust the valve by twisting the knob on the top. you only need the 10lb residual valve if you are running drum brakes in the rear and your master cylinder is set up for rear disc brakes. As for the pedal feel I couldn't really tell you unless I was there to feel it. The only thing I can tell you is to make sure you are getting enough vacuum to the booster.

    My mustang has power brakes. What is the difference in feel from power drums to manual disc? I've never driven a manual braked car. I have driven an old truck with vacuum assist brakes that had a tendency to die at speed. Stopping it without the assist was no fun. Does Willwood have a booster that matches the master cylinder?

    • @BudgetBuildGarage
      @BudgetBuildGarage  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      rablwo It can be hard to explain. A manual set up with the right bore size has good pedal feel that will always feel the same. It takes a bit more effort but I prefer it. You can use any booster with the wilwood master cylinder but they usually like the 11 inch booster instead of the 9.

    • @richardprice5978
      @richardprice5978 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i found i like manual master cylinders because it has more feedback to my foot so i know what my brake pads / tires are doing and letting me be at maximum threshold breaking force and like bbg said it doesn't miss with the engine management systems or nead them to work correctly which is a nice thing to have and probably could have saved me from messing up my friends car because of the engine died at the wrong time = no vacuum in a parking garage on a incline.
      my personal favourite master cylinder is a hydraulic boosted bendex 9 because it feels like a manual ( no slop / lag ) but is easier to pressurise @ 35~ lb in = 1400~ psi line pressure.
      now bbg different parts can be safer to use than others line pressure is different between sizes of masters ( 7/8" in = 800psi ish vs 1" in = 400 psi @ 1/6 ratio 50 lb ish peddle effort no hydro assist on, from my 1" in master cylinder testing ) its not just " feel good " peddle ratio makes a difference to in line pressures and peddle effort too
      edit: i forgot to add the higher the line pressure is the more clamping force is generally the more braking power is assuming everything else is the same braking parts wise like rotors and callipers
