RE: [Chrysler300] Disc break conversion again....

["Steven" <goldenlion413@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks to John H, Gerald O, and John Mc, I found the problem and it was my
own stupidity. There was a burr (not Raymond) on the inside of the spindle.
I have the whole conversion in and ready for fluid.  This isnt my prettiest
work but it will do the job. I looked at the master very closely before I
installed it and I am pretty sure there are no residual valves in the
master. I have 2 new ones that came with the kit. It has been almost 10
years sence I bent wrenches for a living but I seem to remember that the
residual valve holds fluid in the line so that the calipers and cylinders
dont back off and push the fluid back into the master. Any thoughts? I put 3
loops in each line comming out of the master for fluid expansion, but I
belive I need the residual valves or else I will be forever pumping the
pedel to stop and that is why I did the conversion in the first place.
Happy summer everybody.

Steve, The diameter should be the same. You are using
the your original 61 ball joints, aren't you? The
steering knuckle and spindle should be 75-6-7-8 C-body
{New Yorker}. Are you absolutely certain you're using
the steering knuckle you think your using? The only
difference I found in the steering knuckle was .035
over all length from the top of the upper to the
bottom of the lower. I had to use a thinner washer
under the crown nut to get the cotter key thru' on one
of um'. The lower one I think! Talk to John Hertog
about the offset spacers needed for the caster-camber
correction. I think we've got that cat pretty well
skinned too but I'll let him tell you bout' that. We
used different methods for the bolts that hold the two
halves together but either way will work. Let me know
how you come out on this. Jerry
