1984 ElCO Rear disc brake upgrade...

Nice work. I want to do the same mod on my Oldsmobile. Do you know of anyone who is selling a comlete setup ?

not off hand, but ive seen several of these in the junk yards recently, i usually wont think about pulling them, except on half off days...

starting bending the lines and mocking it all up... gonna make a little bracket, so the prop isnt just supported by the line, gotta figure out something simple for that and I have something in mind that should be easy for everyone to do...

Any junkyards near you? I could get you a set down here, but it would probably be easier to get them closer ot you.

not yet bro, gotta another major project in the works for it, so trying to decide if im going to be jumping right into that, or working on it a little further... still gotta take it all back apart and teflon tape it all, i guess dont want leaks, ill get a few more pictures up later, also need to adjust the valve.

I also need to get a couple more pieces to get the ebrake to work... but other than that this thing is ready to go...

this is how the line bends down to the rear brake line... still need to cut the line coming down from the master to the front brakes and reflare with the fitting... and the rear brake line and itll be done. Ive just been lazy lately from working like crazy, just drained...

Got all the lines cut and flared, with proper fitting. Went to try and bleed the brakes and had some minor leakage problems

tightened up all the line properly and now the only leak is coming from the line from the master for the front brakes to the new t i put in (and thats because i didnt flare it right the first time, it looked funny but i didnt redo it) gonna cut and reflare that line in the morning

Thank You

got the rear brakes working, they work good... need to clear up a small leak up front with one of the unions and re bleed... but drove the car and it stops good, will fix leak and re bleed tomorrow... so far well worth all the effort and minor issues, still having fun with it... cant wait to finish this all up including the ebrake, so i can move on to a more important project... the Heart Transplant!
