Following the pics above, we threw the disc brakes/calipers/brake lines on, (I know, I should have gotten some pics). ECE provides new brake line holders (not sure what to call them) that replace the original mounts. Instead of remove the originals we just used the old mounts and took a file to the "star" design (I know pics would help). After doing so we noticed the c-clips that hold the line to the mount didn't quite work so lolife99 was able to fab up two spacers (one for each side) to help hold the line in place.
Also, I'm not sure if I was supposed to receive the spindle nuts from ECE, but since there were none in the packages, we reused the originals without any issues.
Following the brake install we moved onto the master cylinder. One of the best tools to pick up during your M/C removal (change) is a $1.00 Turkey baster...
(I'm not sure why the M/C looks "wet" as we didn't spill any brake fluid)
I kid you not! This will help to remove the brakefluid from the M/C and save your paint in the long run. Thank my wife for this one.
As you can tell, during the 40 years this truck has been alive it has obviously had a few leaks in the M/C area. I cleaned these areas up and attempted to remove the majority of the residue that remained on the firewall. When you reinstall your M/C, or install your new M/C, you will need to be sure to remove the rubber boot from the old M/C.
