Back to business......

Decided to stay with hard lines inside stainless 'gravel guard' on the rear end housing with a stainless flex lines to the housing and calipers.

Prepped the calipers for paint


Applied Krylon BBQ paint and about 20 minutes after painting used a razor blade to remove paint from the raised lettering.


Made these brackets out of 2x2 tubing then decided the base was overkill and cut it in half before plug welding to the tube.




Mockups





Hopefully today I'll slip the axles back in and index the backing plates and get them secured, fab the hardlines, mock fit it all again and align the calipers then disassemble and paint, and tomorrow reassemble and bleed the system.

Hopefully......assuming the rotor and caliper alignment doesn't create challenges.

It will pose a challenge, but you will get through it. LOL

And you will be back on the road again...

What pads are you running?

The offsets were off .394" or so which means I need to fab new spacers for the caliper brackets but that's no biggy.

I'm pretty sure the rears are Wilwood BP-20's and Tobin said those would be near ideal for balance with the Hawk HP+ pads up front. The Dynalite calipers have more clamping force than ideal for the C5 caliper up front so the pad should tame them.

Progress was slower than I'd hoped but still decent progress. Hard lines were built, drop line installed, axles in, offsets checked and need to be altered -0.394". Funeral out of town tomorrow so I'll get back on it Sunday.
