For what Wilwoods cost - they'd BETTER BE BETTER

they don't have a very high standard to be better than. The C3 brakes are terrible. They work fine when they work, but they are renown for leaking.

And even so, price a pair of quality rebuilt C3 brakes.... these aren't that much more money, and since these cars sit, a lot, the stock brakes will start leaking in 5 years. These won't because of the material they're made of.

[SuperBuickGuy]

and we have brakes that work LOTS better

[STINEY]

Not too long......that piston has to return all the way to uncover the internal ports. If the rod does not have just a touch of free play it's too long.

[Deaf Bob]

Cut it long.. Make the part that rides on the piston smooth.. Not hard to do at all..

[SuperBuickGuy]

So I got the brake lines connected - but not bled, I'll have to have a friend come by tomorrow to finish that task....

first... length of the rod on the booster


I should probably hold the camera steadier... but everyone's seen a non-power master cylinder

[SuperBuickGuy]

Keep chipping away.

Any track time plans this year?

I hope so, I've already missed one, and another one tomorrow.

hope this fixes the braking issue on it

[SuperBuickGuy]

so a bit more work done before small group this Friday night

the adapter installed


bench bleeding


it's actually bolted to the firewall, just no picture of that yet...

[Mater]

Basic rule of bangshifting, nothing fits out of the box.

some times they do not even fit in the box

[SuperBuickGuy]

so, time to fix yet another issue - the brakes. I'm tired of the "will I have enough vacuum or not" issue with the motor; so I'm putting manual brakes on the car



so I have to clear a hole


now is the time I mention I'm really getting tired of trying to fit my 210 lb chassis in the footwell

anyway

here's where I stopped

an adapter to eliminate the booster.... tomorrow, brake lines

[SuperBuickGuy]

it'd be easier if you just moved to Seattle... bring your porch awning

[AFFORDILLAC]

That brake press is takin up way too much valuable room...shipping to 61102 please.

[SuperBuickGuy]

Looks like if he put it on the backside, the angle will be severe.. Plus might not be room?

optical illusion... it's really parallel with the belt
