RE: Brakes

[William Harrison <bbjt3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since I found that the booster rod was holding the master cylinder piston open, I re plumbed the brakes today using a proportioning valve.
I used the larger chamber for the front disc system and the smaller chamber for the rear drums.
Now I will use my handy dandy vacuum  pump to bleed the brakes again.
Fun, fun, fun.
My son in law who has a lift is a dick so that is out of the question.
My creeper and I are getting quite intimate.

Later
Bill
