so what do ya do when you dont like doing these hose ends and your tired and your back hurts for some odd reason....ya accomplish one thing, take a picture, post picture, and repeat lol
second hose done, yayorz. took half the time as the first one...

probably the last pic for tonight...i know i overdo the posting of pathetic progress but thats how i roll

[Dr. Pepper]

just think about how badass it will be when your done it tho. you know how many times i've said that to myself? i've got like 100+ hours just sanding on the INSIDE of my truck. the outside, i probally have about 20-30 give or take. all the prep work, primer, bondo, then when it was done wetsanded it twice, and buffed it 5 times total. think my arms/wrists will never be the same again. it looks pretty badass to me tho.

not really sure how much it matters. but on a master cylinder the first outlet closest to the firewall is for the front brakes and the one closest to the core support is the rear brakes.

[foxracin23]

done yet damn no iam kidding adam trucks looking good cant wait to see it this year

duuuuuuude are you serious? can you do me a favor or anyone else and find out if it does make a different? if so then that sucks ass. that might mean those lines are useless. someone help here? does it make a different?

2nd pic shows a dual master set up.

[xtucking22s]

allright, i just flipped the two lines around, they still work. if i would have known that before i would have made the lines differenet lengths to make it look as good as i originally had it, but it gets the job done correctly now, and im not about to let those two lines go to waste. but thanks for pointing that out twin-10s

this is why i post everything i do, for everyone to check my work for correctness, and for others to learn from my mistakes

[Twin-10s]

no problem,
edit
sorry you do have the combination valve in correctly.

haha, ok ya i was gonna that it is correct, but you corrected yourself

[Twin-10s]

yeah sorry about that. hahaha
truck is looking good.
amazing how long it ends up taking isn't it?
took me 6 months to do the front of mine, thought it would be 3 weeks tops.

[xtucking22s]

hahaha, damn that is long. ya...if I was to be completly done on January 12th which is a very slight possibility(the bed wont be painted/line X by then but everything else should be done) then it will be exactly a 6 month project. i started June 12th....ya it takes time lol. but ive taken on quiet a few other things then just a simple bag job so i feel the 6 months is easily justified. and im a Noob to EVERYTHING on this lol, only "experience" I had before hand was reading stuff on here and learning. I still have yet to ever do an oil change in my entire life I wonder if I can handle that after this project? haha

[Twin-10s]

yeah looks like everything you have done is done right and that takes time.
when i did the front of mine (getting it to layout) it was the first time i had done it. learned a lot from reading all i could from this site.

[greencactus3]

[genx-treme]

Looking good Adam...I just got home from Charleston and saw your text. You did it right...the port closest to the firewall is for the rears...and the port closest to the core support is for the fronts...for the stock MC that is.

oh really? the way i first had it was correct? cuz i flipped it around last night because the other guy said I had it backwards. So do I go back to how I had it originally pictured then? I know you know your shit, but the one guy even posted a link to a picture showing that he was correct. and this is why i hate brakes lol

[genx-treme]

Yes...the way you had it before is corect...WITH A STOCK MC..Aftermarket MC's vary by manufacturer on what port does what. For example, on my MC that I got from summit, the ports are opposite of the stock MC.

[kovz34]

going to whore a little bit here and bring some humor into this thread. here is an instruction manual for Ryo and Adam on how to change your oil... hahaha

1) Pull into your nearest '15 Minute Oil Change' when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last oil change.

Money spent:
Oil Change: $20.00

[xtucking22s]

and that is EXACTLY why i havent changed my oil myself before lol. I think with my new truck and its rediculously expensive oil changes cuz of the 12 quarts or whatever it takes I am going to start doing my own.

And Joe, thanks for the clarification, im going to trust you on this one as I have trusted you on everything else brake wise so far. thanks again

[draginlow]

hay man i have don a lot of that kind of work "on fuel systems at work and some drag cars"
if you rap it in tape "witch you all ready know" then just use a air cut off wheel, it spins fast and will not pull all the little pieces of wire apart
we have tryed other stuff but that seams to work the best
then just blow some shop air through the line to clean it out

if you want just try it on a junk piece
it's worth a shot

[XtremelySLOW]

Yeah I had to cross my lines from the proiportioning valve to the mastyer cylinder too. Just finally got all the lines to seal up this moirning. It's a beatch.

[Wicked Mayhem]

if anyone does all that stupid crap why changing oil they should take their cars in to get it changed. i can do mine in under 15 minutes.

[xtucking22s]

allright....so here is what we have...

say to criss-cross the lines going from master cylinder to combination valve
twins-10s
extremelyslow

say to not criss-cross the lines....
genx-treme

well can we all get this figured out? cuz clearly someone is incorrect here. I trust Joe's judgement but that is now two people who say otherwise, and now that i think of it i remember the user MokoCustoms who criss crossed the lines as well. so that is 1 persons word versus 3, but I have trusted that ones persons judgement on everything else brake wise so far, so i dont want to start doing the oposite of what Joe says. What is correct?

ill have pictures of all the brake lines done by the end of the night. I have just about all the lines made up and installed. Only have 2 more hose ends to do out of the 20 I had total. What took me 1.5 hours at my first attempt to make a hose with 2 ends now thats me no more then 15 minutes max to do. yay for a learning curve!

[s10cyncrvr]

Is that your original mastercylinder or did it come with the hydraboost? If it did come with the hydraboost, do you know what vehicle it came off of? I can look up which port does what.

Looking in my 2002 manual on the brake line diagram. The front port(closest to the core support) goes to the rear brakes. The rear port(closest to the firewall) goes to the front brakes.

[xtucking22s]

this is the stock master cylinder still. the company that sold me the hydroboost said my stock one is just fine to use as the hydroboost adds so much more braking power that an upgraded master cylinder was just overkill...he sells them so if he wanted to feed me some Bullshit he could have and sold me one, but he said it would be a waste of my money. so yes, it is the stock master cylinder. So I know you know your shit Jeremy, so sorry Joe but im gonna have to agree with everyone else now. So I now have them criss-crossed to be correct. pics to come in a few minutes. im done!(the brake lines)

Yea we used a chop saw with a carbon fiber style disk to cut heavy duty braided lines on the presses at work. We also left the tap on the ends when we were done. And those fitting undured more pressure than a brake system

[xtucking22s]

allright...got all the brake lines done. concluced that the master cylinder to combination valve needed to be flipped around from how i had it before. excuses the flash of the camera really ruining the pictures and also ignore the surface rust on the rotors that will come off the first time i apply the brakes










and Eric texted me tonight....he isnt going to be making it down tomorrow with the other door, fender, and hood. He said something didnt go as planned so he cant get it done by tonight to bring to me tomorrow. so ill get the body panels on later in the week he said. fine by me...I dont want him to rush and the paint not be perfect, he knows that.

[Wicked Mayhem]

looks great!

i cant wait till i have the space to start a project and take my time..
