Done x2.

No bleeding done. Waiting for the brake booster to be there in the mail.

Was bleeding the front brakes and, doing so, found out my rear brake line was leaking...

It was more into the step by step approach... But...ripped everything out, from the master cylinder to the booster to the proportioning valve.

Looks like a still from the Dukes of Hazard - almost like it's jumping! 🙂

Clear coated the brake booster. Because I like it raw. With some rust (but very little rust). Because "Rust never sleeps", as N.Y. would sing.

Also. we need M10x1.5 bolts and locks to replace the nylon lock nut that are A BIT hard to uninstall/install under the dash.

Thanks for all the guys who posted this on the internet.

working on the master cylinder + proportioning valve, which will be mounted right under the MC.

Double flared stuff. Takes a LOT of patience.

Mocking up the setup using the old master cylinder. Reused part of the original lines.
