Rear brakes are assembled onto backplates and ready to install. Double flaring kit and copper/nickel brake line are very easy to work with, and well worth the few dollars extra over steel line. Had to order different center-flex line as B-body banjo style was too short. Used '73 Dodge truck part that was five inches longer, and barely long enough.
Great information on the B-Body tank . . . . and I really dig the gas door mod.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone else is thinking about going this route, I'd remind them that when the trunk floor was replaced it became roughly one inch shallower, plus the spare tire well was eliminated, allowing the tank to be moved to the right to locate the filler off center. That might be an issue with stock trunk dimensions. Perhaps it could have been moved to the left, but I wanted the tank weight moved to the right for better balance if I decide to install the battery on the left inside the trunk.
