Still cant figure out brake lines on disc conversion

Post by Texas69 »

Could someone please send pics of a completed dis conversion (F100) showing brake lines connected to the calipers (left and right side) and to the frame? I looked over tech swap pics but they do not show brakes installed.
Thanks for ever bodies help.

I believe the passenger side goes from the frame, across the front crossmember and to the proportioning valve/distribution block or master cylinder.

the only disc brake swap mods to the brakes lines that are neede to ad are the brackets for the rubber hoses to reach the disc brake calipers properly. other than the proportioning valve lines need to be bent into place that should be all you need to do. that picture that is posted shows the brackets with hte rubber line hooked through it.
