Gator's Disc Brake Update

[gator2511]

The rear disc brake conversion is complete on my 72. The last time I posted I was still using the old disk/drum master cylinder and prop valve. That worked fine but I was advised to go to a disc/disc master cylinder and prop valve. I ordered those components from CPP and installed them. THEN THE FIGHT STARTED!! The origional front disc brakes started falling to pieces on me when I went to bleed them and I ended up replacing one caliper and both front flex hoses. I went through other stuff but nothing serious. Anyway, when the bleeding was complete I took it for a test ride and could definitly feel the difference in stopping power. I am extremely happy with the final results. Here are some more pics.







While I was at it I gave the old rusty booster an acid bath and painted it with Eastwood's Cadmium paint. I like the Caddy calipers and having an E brake.
