Hydroboost Tech day 12/8/12

Post by Justin »

Many thanks to Kinder and casadejohnson for coming over and making this happen. We had plans to try and get both my truck and kinder's done, we wound up getting mine mostly finished before kinder and casa had to leave. We got the booster in, a stock '76 proportioning valve mounted and a new line run to the front axle. Things stalled out when I discovered I'm highly skilled in kinking 5/16 brake lines and also had the wrong adapter fittings for the master cylinder. Finishing up is hopefully a trip to the parts store away, and I'm looking forward to the chance to experience actual braking power in a Bronco. The almost-finished product:

The almost finished product looks a lot like a stock Bronco set up. Did you forget to install the booster?

Dang, maybe that's why the brake lines were giving me fits. Fixed.
