Brake Lines Brake Lines Brake Lines (( 11-21-20 ))
Picking up where I left off I need to connect both front calipers to the master and my goal was to keep is simple and fairly
easy build. I plan to install a Knotchead line clamp under it to support it. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d09f1c4-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e777d45-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...af5e9c7-me.jpg Time to make the final line. Since I made reference marks on the practice line I used those to make the new line all in one piece and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...df0b308-me.jpg Yep, I kept practicing with the scrap pieces to help me learn where to line up the tools so I can get the desired bends. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e4b2047-me.jpg So I was feeling a little bit ambitious and I gave it another crack on the crossover line on the subframe. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...54c9daa-me.jpg I needed an extra hand so I put the brake line bender in my Grandfathers Vice and wow was this a total game changer it was like having Mike in the garage helping me. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...80e7394-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...179c939-me.jpg I just realized the sweatshirt that I am wearing in this picture was the last gift I received from my Grandmother before she died in 1989. It had moved with me many times over the years and I never wore it. A few years back I pulled it out and decided I would finally where it. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f86dbaf-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b5fd26e-me.jpg Using the reference marks I made allowed me to duplicate the final line all in one piece. I also traced out the line with string so I new exactly how much line was necessary. It would have sucked if I had started with a 60" line as this line turned out to be 62" in length. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...da81bf1-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2f9d0d4-me.jpg The final flare and yes the fitting is on !!! http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5472f4e-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1bc1f5b-me.jpg The tape makes the line not look centered but it is actually almost perfect. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...452887e-me.jpg |
Practicing flaring some 3/8" line with the new tool (( 11-27-20 ))

Time to flare some 3/8 line http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...37497f0-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a4e2854-me.jpg Back to mocking up the trans lines. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...10ffe56-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...691830c-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...64c4783-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ae32312-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...075a0bc-me.jpg |
Since the rear line didn't match I remade it so it would. (( 11-28-20 ))
Using some the bend templates that I made helped to make this a much easier project.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ff5d0ed-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...285c686-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6960afe-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...018f03d-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1b32b92-me.jpg The good news is I did it in one shot with what I have learned so far. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f3cb3ef-me.jpg I wanted to link the lines together so I will be using the Knotchead line clamps. A quick trip to the local Ace Hardware to pick up some hardware and while I was there I scored a couple Hot Wheels Syclones. I also stopped a Dairy Queen for a Blizzard. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...079920f-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c4580a3-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0b015f1-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...52bc52b-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7157f01-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c285edc-me.jpg |

Throttle Bracket - Still playing around a ((11-28-20))
Trying to make this bracket a little leaner.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0153920-me.jpg I think if I trim it down to something like this and get it anodized black it will blend right in. Before I trim it down I need to get a new Lokar throttle cable. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f7e5162-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6f9bca4-me.jpg Radiator ((11-29-20)) http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...948692e-me.jpg I want to hide as many wires as possible so the horn wire will sneak behind the core support. I used a piece of door edge guard to protect the wires. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7b352ba-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ddf299f-me.jpg little bit of an overkill to crimp and solder but what the heck why not. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7c94750-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4ad2b4a-me.jpg Moving on to the Kicker Bluetooth Stereo http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...430a983-me.jpg I tried to make the trunk a little more comfortable for me back. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1aad6cb-me.jpg I need to run a 3.5mm extension up to the center console and the cable for the controller which will be mounted in the lower dash or center console. I won't decide that till I figure where the cup holders are going to go. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ba1f9f5-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9a67115-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5f54c4c-me.jpg |
Trans Coolant Lines & Finally some Holley Fittings
Since Kenny did such a great job bending these line I am going to use them. ((11-29-20))
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...575bfba-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2006ef4-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7106e63-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...92e804f-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1821bc1-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...46a7b3b-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1e07797-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...774b9bd-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...feac24b-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d60c13f-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...be24f6d-me.jpg Holley Fitting arrived ((12-01-20)) http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...728004f-me.jpg Next Project will be the AAW Harness http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...aaa6d20-me.jpg |
The final brake line ((12-03-20))
I am finally getting around to make the final brake line and it's tiny.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...feac9cb-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b0f0d76-me.jpg The best tip ever is to secure a rubber band around the grips so you don't have to worry about holding them closed. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b112a20-me.jpg Just a tiny bit longer and it works perfect. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...764ca2c-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5350d71-me.jpg |
