Oh sweet as yeah I'm having trouble with my stereo at the moment just can't get it tuned right. I only really want it to make the cab quieter. I just want all the work on my brum finished so it's just a Clean brum
Through ideas at me if you have any mate I'm happy to hear wat you've done eg tyre size suspension exhaust size etc

Right

New bullbar

Lift kit almost installed completely

Brake goodies. Drums shimmed and pads shimmed to match. And new cylinders.
New front discs and pads. Just standard and bendix general ct.
Then I lashed out and got braise lines with an extra 2-3 inches. :)

Oh and painted my wheel arches with sound deadner/ stone chip.

Good stuff Cam, especially with the braided lines - You'll love them.

I hope that the extra length on the rear isn't too much. On Ruby Scoo I went with an extra 3 inches to match the lift kit, I reckon I could have gone with either 1.5 or 2 inches on the rear and been fine. Hindsight!

Will you be servicing the master cylinder too? I kind of wish I did with mine, but it's working fine - it'd just give me that piece of mind ;)

Great stuff though!

Cheers

Havnt thought about it yet. What would I do? And what about the brake booster?
I tell you what, trying to get 20 year old brake lines is hard without wrecking the hard line bolt thingy.

Either get a new brake master cylinder or have your current one re-conditioned - much like an engine's cylinder they hone it out and replace the piston for a slightly larger one, a new set of seals, a lick of paint and you're on your way!

What about it? :P

Seriously, the mob that did your brake lines should be able to service the booster, although I'm not sure that is needed :???: Someone will know, hopefully they'll share.

This is part of the reason why some spend the time to replace these too! You can buy pipe bending and flaring kits to make new hard lines just like the factory ones. I don't have time for that and I don't think our roads create the corrosion that warrants this type of work - unless it's a show vehicle!

That sounds like hard work. I haven't damaged the nut too much. If they are dead il take them to my brake shop.
Ok so vacuum booster doesn't need anything. Could get the cylinder done. Ok.
Thanks Bennie
