Thanks Kris good info video..
Lookin really good how did u cut the speaker grill around the roll bar without breaking them
I have the maximum manuel brake kit. It was expensive but amazing. Would not change it. The build is coming along nicely
Thanks!
Any chance you have pics or video of how you plumbed the lines? I know front brakes should be to the port near the firewall but did you use the stock proportioning block?
Hey buddy thanks for ur advise. I have a question is it a good idea to run braided lines all around instead of hard lines to make life easier using 3 an?
Great video. Where did you buy those lines to bench bleed? Or what’s the flare size going into the master cylinder Incase I have to make them?
I can’t remember the size. I took the fittings to Napa and just bought a couple lines that fit then cut them to length.
Since the dash has no structure to it anymore, I'd add a roll cage bar behind the dash that goes from driver side to passenger side. Firewall is super thin...would be a scary thing if that motor tried to come through the firewall lol
Yes there is a dash bar.
Hi great video I have a question I have the same set up but my brakes seem super hard my brake lines are reverse from what you did could that be the issue my rears go to the back port and the front line goes to the front port. Car hardly stops running disc brakes all around sn95 style
Could be the problem. Shouldn’t cause it to be super hard though. Did you relocate the push rod on the pedal?
@@fox-body hi kris i changed the mast bore size to a smaller bore seems better also how did you install the brake light switch. most people do manual brakes forget to get the brakes to work after
Hey man, After doing this do you know of a video to retain the brake lights? Im looking at purchasing and im curious on how to wire the brake pressure switch
It’s very simple to wire up a pressure switch. It’s just on and of.
willwood sells a prop valve that has a integrated brake light switch, or a inline pressure switch
I bought this same kit kinda lost with the routing of brake lines, lol do you have pics of how you ran lines
I don’t have a pic. Maybe I’ll show it in my next video.
That would be sweet thanks man
Kris, will this work with stock foxbody brakes, disc front /drum rear?
Yep
@@fox-body thanks! I know the bore size of the master cylinder has to be sized to the brake type etc so just wanted to check on that.
To daily drive the car is the proportioning really needed? I ask cause I’m trying to eliminate the proportioning valve and just t the fittings the way u did
I drove multiple fox’s without proportioning valves. Might be dangerous in the rain. I’m always careful on the street with these cars.
Because of? Does it lock up to fast ?
So of course I forgot to say I have an adjustable proportioning valve from wildwood so my stupidity sorry what I meant to ask was can I just hook it up ur way and use that proportioning valve to adjust the rear for less pressure and delete the factory one ? Sorry man for asking the wrong questions
@@tonymontana4349 yes you can delete the factory prop. Valve and use the wilwood prop valve that you have. Just put a "T" fitting in place of the factory prop valve. If you look by the passenger side hood hinge there is a pair of fitting on the factory brake line, you can install your wilwood prop valve in between those fittings. That line goes to both rear calipers.
Thanks
What did you do about the brake light switch?
Fabbed up a bracket with a micro switch near the pedal.
Hey guy I have another question I installed the wilwood proportioning valve and no matter how I adjust it there’s a super minimal brake fluid is that how that works when I mean minim it’s like nothing.
I’ve never used one so I’m not sure. Call wilwood. They should know.
Is ur setup for drum brakes o disc my application is for disc some say it’s needed for disc brakes that’s one of the reason im confused In using it to be honest I’d rather not I I don’t have to
@@tonymontana4349 I have disc brakes.
Of the topic I installed upper spherical control arms and coil overs when I jack up the car it goes up weird like it has a lot of free movement is this suppose to be like that ? Factory is normally stiff
If I can send u pics of what I’m explaining it’ll be a great help man thanks been following u for months like the way u do things
Is it a good idea to use this break system as a daily driver?
I would. But that’s me🤷🏼♂️
@@fox-body what's the benefit to this swap performance wise? Is it weight reduction?
@@oscarvillarreal8951 weight reduction and no boost leak through the vac lines.
@@fox-body oh... Ok. Thanks man 👍
Which roll cage brand is this
Team z.
front to front back to back
on master cylinder
Hmm you sure about that?
@@fox-body 100% its not internally proportioned, so rull of thumb is farthest from firewall goes to front and closest to firewall is rear.
That’s not wha I’ve read. The closer port provides more volume so that goes to the front where you typically have larger calipers. zigsstreetrods.com/Techtips/c07936.html
@@fox-body that is correct for a factory style master that is interanly proportioned but the mopar that we offer is not internally proportioned. so if you want you can mock it up that way but best practice is front to front rear to rear brakes. :)
Ok. I don’t know anything about mopars. This video is on a foxbody. I looked at my other two mustangs and there both back port to front wheels. So unless the factory plumbed it back wards, then ford is different than dodge. Do you have any links that show foxbodys Plummed the way your saying?
